My grandfather was one of the first Americans thrown in jail at the outset of WWII just for being "of Japanese decent". They took his collection of N162's and T207's and burned them in the suitcase they were stored in

Ok, well not really (the part of the N162/T207's), but he did have his collection of baseball memorabilia taken away. My mom told me he had a couple of small baseball cards that he kept in his wallet at the time he was jailed. They turned out to be T206's (commons) with pinholes in them. I still have them. Don't know how he originally got them (he was born in 1899), but they are the pride of my collection.
