In the mid 1970's at a Flea Market in Miami Florida(across from Tropical Park) with my father. There was a family at table selling T206's. Never had seen a tobacco card up close. Most for $1 and a Ruth 33 Goudey for $5.
My father got me Lajoie throwing for $1, no other T206's. No Ruth either. In retrospect, would have done lawn cuts, or anything for money to buy more of these.
Also when Senior year in High School 1981, beautiful girl named Mara. Didn't have guts to ask her out on a date.
