Except for a couple similar condition southern leaguers that I paid $6 and $8.

Based off of the criteria you've listed that the condition those cards were in I'm not sure I'd want them. However the question remains, where the hell do you find T206s for those prices?

A dealer had them at a show in the area a few weeks back. Trust me, it's NOT a regular thing that they appear this 'cheap'. LOL I believe they came from a long time collection. He had T206 and T205s, including some biggies (Cobb, Matty, etc). Some were REALLY trimmed and some were just trimmed at the borders. Paper loss on the backs as well, but hey, who cares as they were mostly Piedmonts (and already trimmed). The Cobbs and most of the T205s were already gone by the time I got there, but I did pick up a few. Got a T206 Lajoie for $30 that was only missing the border and a T205 Joss for $40 that was only missing the top and bottom borders.
