Back in 1979 I was coming home from a day of flea markets and antique shops. I was just about broke from a reasonably sucessful day. I stopped at a plaza either in Southern New Hampshire on Northern Massachusetts. The stop was as much to use the rest room and grab a bite to eat nearby. I figured as long as I stopped, I would go into this little shop. It was basically a quick window shop. For the heck of it, I asked the woman behind the counter, "Do you happened to have any baseball cards?". She went out back and returned with a large stack (almost 200, as I recall) of T206s T205s and T207s. I cringed, knowing I had little money in my wallet, but I still had to ask, "How much do yo want?" "Well", she said, "They are old......". The $25 she asked for was end her hand before the words finished echoing around the shop.
Two sad postscripts. There were no high dollar cards though they were in great shape. Secondly, I sold them and my complete collection about a year later for pennies on the dollar. I am working on collection #2 now
