He said him and his parents found them at an antique store in PA. I tried and tried for days on end to trade him for these finally he gave in and I got ahold of 2 of them for a ton of newer 80's cards. I used to sit there with books from the library (before internet) and stare at T206 cards and just dream of being able to buy them some day. That is what collecting is all about. Here are those 2 cards I still have them, and never in a million years will get rid of them because they were what started it all over 20 years a go.

Great story! That's kinda what I was going for when I originally posted. I myself lean both ways. I like the variety but to have a Wagner like the one posted earlier would be awful tough to pass up. I don't think I would ever tire of looking at that beauty, even if it was the only card I owned.
Thanks to all posters and let's keep it going!
