1977. I heard about a guy in a neighboring town who had a set of T206 for sale. I borrowed $1000 from my dad and drove to see him. He had the set--I suppose it was a 520--but wanted $2000. I couldn't talk him down, but he offered to sell me a few dupes for a buck each. All I had was $100 bills and he had no change, so he gave me Jake Beckley.
