Thanks for the compliment "ole buddy". But, your memory of Willow Grove (and Ft Washington) days is either failing or very "selective".
In the 1980's I mainly collected Tobacco cards. I didn't start selling them till the mid-1990's. Barry Sloate will attest to this, as I sold him
my 521 card (includes Magie) T206 set. This was the 1st set I put together. Also, I sold him my complete T205 and T207 sets.
At that same time at Ft Washington, I sold Mike Wheat my E90-1 set (120 cards complete with an Ex Joe Jackson).
I broke up one of two 1933 Goudey sets (239 cards) that I put together. Bill McAvoy bought the Babe Ruth's. The 2nd set I sold to Alan Rosen.
Mr Mint also bought my 1934 Goudey set and my 2nd 1941 Play Ball set.
In 2001, I started on my 2nd T206 set and completed this 520-card set by 2004. I broke up this T206 set in 2005 and started an all-PIEDMONT set.
Dave Czuba bought about 1/2 the cards from my 2nd set.
I completed a 518-card all PIEDMONT T206 set in 2006. Then, I started an all SOVEREIGN T206 set, which I completed when I acquired the 408th
card (red Cobb with a SOVEREIGN 460 back).
Am I making you "dizzy" Dan ?
There's more....I started and near completed an all SWEET CAPORAL Factory #30 set of 467 cards. Wagner and Plank were the only cards missing
from this one.
Dan....let's do the math together .... 521 + 520 + 518 + 408 + 467 = 2434 T206 cards.
And, that does not include all my duplicates over the years.
Sorry to correct you guy, but this statement of yours is sheer horse-crap fiction .... please try to get the facts straight........
" I think you are mistaken that Ted has handled and sold thousands of T206's. Hundreds maybe "
Dan .... I really find it very disappointing that you have become part of this "discredit Ted" campaign that has been instigated by Jim Rivera.
Oh....and, I forgot to mention the large group of George C. Miller cards you bought from me in 1996....that was quite a hoot.
I have some fine memories of you and your Dad going back to the Willow Grove days. Tis a shame that its all come down to this vendetta that you
guys are conjuring up.
