Two events happened almost at the same time. First was, I bought a 1955 Koufax rookie and another rookie at the same time. I asked for a T206 Walter Johnson portait as a "throw in" and they agreed.

I don't even remember what the 2nd rookie card was but was captivated by the T206 Johnson portrait and never looked back 25+ years later.

Best throw in ever.
