Thanks for sharing your great story with the rest of us. We
only dream of being so lucky. From all our BB conversations
back in the Willow Grove days, I had somewhat forgotten this
story. So, I really appreciate reading it.
I sold my T206 set to a friend a few years ago. It took me
about 6 years to accumulate the 521 cards (missing of course
Wagner, Plank and that "silly" Doyle card). The set averaged
in Ex condition. I collected it before the Graded Card "craze"
came along, so most of the cards were in the old T-type plastic
sheets. The major HOFers were in solid screw-down plastics.
I did keep Walter Johnson (portrait), all the NY Highlanders,
Elberfeld - Washington - portrait, and the 16 different backs
which mainly comprise of HOF players (DRUM of course just
has a regular player).
