barrysloateI once bought a collection of cards from a family in Pennsylvania around 1995 that had a couple of hundred decent T205, T206, and triplefolders, but what was most extraordinary were several dozen E92, all with Dockman backs, that I swear even by today's standards would grade 6 and 7, and who knows, maybe even an 8 or two. I remember giving a bunch of them to Don Steinbach when he and Bill were just starting their auction partnership and he said "this is exactly what high grade candy cards are supposed to look like". There were Mattys, Mcgraws, and other HOFers, maybe 30-35 cards total. That was the best caramel collection I ever saw from an original shoebox find. Of course, at the time you couldn't give them away. I couldn't find retail customers and that is why I was forced to consign them. Hard to believe!
