GHG!This may be slightly off-topic but does, in fact, involve the old publication, The Trader Speaks, and a resulting t206 purchase in 1972.
Personal files include a 35-year old handwritten letter from a dealer/collector named Ray Leone, Brentwood, NY, as follows: "Enclosed are 106 T-206 and 25-cent refund. I made a counting error previously stating I had 107. I hope these cards are OK."
This, I believe, speaks volumes about dealer integrity in those days (not to mention t206 prices in 1972).
Best wishes to all for a prosperous 2008.
