Great story Chicago206,and I can relate!!I must admit,I also got hooked on T206's myself-I do love pretty much all of the pre-war cards,but not as much as the T206's.Sounds like you went hog wild
I've found myself going after a certain consistant grade with T206, rather than getting hyped on the "back thing".......and trying to get as many HOF'ers as possible.Eventually,I will have an example of each back,but I'm taking it slow.
Your story reminded me of how it all began for myself,and it would be great to hear some others experiences of how they "got bit"
Great subject!!
Sincerely,Clayton
