Early in the year, I received a call from a friend in Florida whose neighbor was interested in selling his
Grandfather's original Tobacco collection.

Upon contacting this fellow, I realized that this is "the stuff dreams are made of". So, went down there
and purchased 400+ T206 cards. Strangely, no Cobb's or CYoung's, but most of all the other HOFers,
tougher cards, and "all the usual Subjects".

This original collection was really interesting in that all the cards had Piedmont backs, except the 25
Southern Leaguers were Old Mill's. So, I was curious as to where this fellow's Grandfather lived when
he collected all these cards.....it was near the border of the Carolina's.
