Well, it may not be much help, but here it is.
The shop In the town I'd just moved to had T206 comons for 1.50 each. I really liked them, but hadn't bought any.

ANd it was only 20 cents! Of course, it was also heavily creased, torn, taped to keep it in one piece... but it was mine! If I'd only known where that would lead....
