Posted By: <b>Lee Behrens</b><p>Hi, I recently received a T206 that I have a suspicion that it was in two pieces at one time. It is in one piece now but has a waxy feeling in area where the card appears to have been seperated. It is not flimsy. I will try to get a scan up soon.<BR><BR>Lee

Posted By: <b>warshawlaw</b><p>I reattached the display top of a 1970-71 basketball card box that I got in a deal about 10 years ago. Used wallpaper paste and a toothpick to apply it. Worked great (I could open and close the box), was nearly undetectable, and looked great too, until it was destroyed in the 1994 Northridge earthquake along with many of my other possessions. There are other adhesives that can be used, probably even better (I was really taking a shot at it for fun, since I'd not paid for the box and later thought of it as an afterthought for display).
