Default One that got away

Posted By: barrysloate

Thanks Scott- I didn't want anything to get between us.
Just to change the subject, let me tell a story about one that got away from me. Back in the 1980's, an old-time collector was selling off his T206's and he sent me photocopies of 23 he had with better backs. Virtually all were NR MT (a few were VG's) and nearly all were commons (there may have been a couple of HOfers). As I recall he wanted $25 a card if I bought them all. I thought about it for a few days, but decided to pass.
All 23 cards had UZIT backs. I can't tell you how many times I've thought about that deal. It stings to this day.
