That's awesome, Donnie. Welcome to the club! Be sure to let Frank know what your monster number is.
I got my first T206 about this same time last year.
As much as I love that card still, I didn't really "get it" until I held my first unslabbed T206 in my hands. Mr. Claude Rossman, teammate of Ty Cobb and Sam Crawford.
There was something about holding this little piece of cardboard in my hands. I felt it, smelled it, looked at the various creases, and notches, and wondered where it was in the world when they happened.
These are little pieces of history. You never know who may have owned them before they arrived at your doorstep.
