My absolute favorite
UZIT card is this John McGraw for several reasons. It was discovered 42 years ago, and it's been a
unique
T206 ever since. It was in a collection of cards which were originally purchased circa 1980 at the Willow Grove Show.
I think you will find this story very interesting.
I am sharing this story with you because there is a lesson to be learned from it. It's original owner (a Net54 "reader") contacted
me 5 years ago asking me if I was interested. I certainly was. He had approx. 100 cards (Vg-Ex), and wanted to sell all of them.
This lot included 22 different T206's (HOFer's and commons), and 77 (1948 - 1975 BOWMAN's and TOPPS) stars and HOFer's.
Four other guys contacted the owner for the McGraw/UZIT card. But were not interested in any of the other cards in his collection.
I played it smart, and told the owner that I would purchase his entire collection. I made him a nice offer. And, the deal was done.
