TBob3 other collectors and I purchased about a box full of around 750 T213s, mostly T213-2s but many T213-3s from an elderly gentleman from Louisiana in 1982. All have made their way in to the hobby and I regret selling so many of my cards including a near complete set of T213-3s to Bill Mastro. Dumb, dumb...
The horde contained aabout 35 Ty Cobbs, 25 red protraits and 10 bat off shoulders.
Who would have thunk that a near set of 65 of the 70 T213-3s could end up being so valuable? GRRRRRRR
This was my 2nd biggest hobby blunder, my worst being selling a near mint 1959 Topps set in 1982 for $300 so I could buy a Johnny Ray Pirates rookie jersey. (He played for our local college and my alma mater). Lots of nice sentimental value in the jersey but Lord anyone seen what a 59 NM set is selling for these days????
