Bill Carrigan. I bought the card around 1980 from the "back room" of a used record shop. Tobacco cards were very hard to come by when I was growing up in Colorado.

I got 3 at once...

Heinie Batch, Sunny Jim Dygert, and Joe Tinker with his hands on his knees. Nice shape, $10, $12, and $35 each... still have them. And I kinda wish I'd bought only one to start with, so I'd be certain which one was first.

my first was a fair con. Ford. i was in gatlenburg tn 4 years ago on our honeymoon, pretty cheap, but there was a card show in one of the malls and i saw the ford never seeing any card that old, bought it for $10 after getting some history of the t206's. came back did more research and been hooked, actually the only cards i collect. i've bought, traded and sold a bunch that the ford is the only one out of the first 20 or so that i still have, the only one that will never get rid of.

Brian,

Your's is certainly the most crisp Hannifan I've seen so far. Thank you very much for posting it.

Now, I have a new question for you. Where did you find all that extra border to add to the top of the card! Geez Louise. I could almost paint you an image of an old ballgame on there.

Thanks,

Andy

Hi Andy,
The Hannifan came in a "find" of a few hundred T206's sold on EBAY last year. I purchase 5-6 lots of 20+ cards that included 20-30 cards that had Super Larger Borders. I have posted pictures of them in the past, and will be happy to do so again on a different thread, Be well Brian

Hi Andy,

The Hanifan scanned earlier is graded a 5. I had a Psa 6, but a set registry guy offered me crazy money and the Psa 5 Hanifan in trade. A bonus was the Psa 5 I got in return was a Sovereign back.
The Hanifan scanned here is ungraded, got it a 67 card lot in January. I think the registry is better than the graded one.

I purchased my first T206 from Steve Yawitz for $10.50 (RAW) on August 16, 2004, looking for old Minneapolis stuff on eBay.

At a 1978 show in Anaheim. Set me back twelve bucks. I still have it, but several years ago it was entombed in a PSA 2 holder.

I posted earlier that i couldnt figure out which T206 i first bought, it was before i was into vintage cards. Well i was going through some images on CD's and there it was, along with the other two first prewar cards i bought, a Stone and a Lennox T205.
