Thanks Barry. I really enjoyed your opening tribute to the Monster as well, particularly when you mentioned that you bought your first T206 (Matty (dark cap)) shortly after getting married. I bought mine (T206 Keeler (with bat)) while on my honeymoon (don't tell my wife, please). That card is
still one of my favorites. Incidentally, I bought the same card three years later for my friend's son, who shares Wee Willie's first and last name, sans the "wee" bit!
