Default T206s with character

Posted By: Ray

Anyone have one that's dirtier than this? The Iron Man above looks like the King of Dirty so far, but this one here is a good contender for the crown.

I remember someone answering a post recently saying that many T206 cards would be thrown on the street by adult smokers who pulled them out of packs. Kids would wait outside of tobacco shops to pick the discarded cards off the ground. I think this one was on the ground for a few days (or weeks) before a kid spotted it. Granted, a lot of things could've caused the nastiness of this card, but that's the story I like to think of.

I've posted scans of this one at least one other time on this board that I can think of, and while it's a "beater" at best, I'm proud of it as it's my first T206 and will (probably) never leave my collection...
