My first purchase was a T206 red portrait Ty Cobb in the early to mid 1990s for $75 from a dealer in FL, Orve Johansson (rest his soul). I became real good friends with Orve and a few years after the Cobb purchase, (was working by this time) I picked up a group of Goudeys including a Ruth + Gehrig!! Orve claimed the goudeys came from Johnny Allen’s collection, a player featured in the 1934 set. How true this is I’m unsure.
