Dan Koochin'Back in the day' I can remember getting a T206 Ty Cobb bat off PB, Red portrait, and Cobb bat on
all 3 for $200. Bought a few lots of T206s, maybe paid $150 or so for lots of 100 commons about VG-EX.
Have had the same experience as yourself, wasnt unusual to get cash back or an extra card
on a trade, in fact I cant recall a sinlge bad transaction from the Trader Speaks, and in those
days things were bought sight unseen, no such thing as scanners and fussing about grading.
Good articles, seem to recall an article about a collector who had opened hundreds of T206
packs, and he and his friends had thousands, claimed no one has ever pulled a Wagner from a
pack. Wasnt there a cover too of the T206 Eddie Collins batting proof?
Also seem to recall a simliar publication called the Collector Talks, which if I remember
correctly was either published in Wisconsin or Michigan? Always lots of good quality EX T206s
usually Polar Bear backs from that area.
