My First T206

[Archive]

Posted By: Ray

Just bought my first T206 off of Ebay. Pretty exciting for me. I haven't rcvd it yet as I just won it last night. Did a board member sell it to me?

Admiral Schlei PSA 1
Polar Bear back

I can't upload the image but if you want you can check it out on my photobucket here - www.photobucket.com/gotsparks09 under Personal Collection -Vintage

Most of my photobucket is modern stuff, but I'm the process of selling/trading it all for 50s and earlier with a concentration on 30s and earlier

My Second T206 card was an Admiral Schlei Portrait with a Piedmont 350-460 Fac.25 back. I still own it. It's a great looking card.

T206 Ossee Schreck Southern League!!!

I e-mailed the seller about this error earlier but nothing seems to be done about it.

If others do the same it might help.

email sent, but even if it were a psa 4 southern leaguer, it shouldn't be at $319.00

As one aged passenger exclaimed to my wife during her first time ever on a ski lift, "You have just signed a hell of a contract".

Good luck.

Joe Tinker bat on shoulder was, I believe, the first T206 I ever bought. Bought it from a nice, young guy named Bill Mastro at a show in Kansas City. Wonder what ever happened to him?

I love those low graders as well! It's a glorious journey!
Patience; there's plenty of product out there.

My T206 odyssey began with Rhodes, Piedmont 350, VG-EX, $3.00, from The Baseball Card Shoppe in Claremont, California. A quarter century ago and I remember it like it was yesterday. Life has never been quite the same.

Purchased in January 1992, for the princely sum of $75. And I liked the back more than the front.

Thanks for the thumbs up fellas. It's cool seeing/hearing about your guys' first T206s. Like Hull said, I too like the back better than the front. I'd trade my first one for that bender or christy on the scans above if you're interested T206 Collector . Forgot to mention that mine is the portrait Schlei. Thanks agian, would love to hear more! - Ray
