T206 set
I have a near set of 520. It is all PSA graded, and 16th on the PSA Registry. Got my first T206 in 1972 at a Detroit area card show which was a Ty Cobb batting card with a couple creases. It was only 40 cents (yes $0.40). I also got a Johnny Evers for 20 cents. I was only 12 years old, but my brother and a couple of our friends were already studying the old-time players so we knew who Cobb and Evers were. I started collecting graded cards in 1999 and began to have some of mine graded. After numerous upgrades, most of my set is now PSA 5-6. One of my best T206 moments was buying a Ty Cobb (green portrait) at a Detroit area show in about 1978 for $10. It is now in a PSA 5 holder. I have cards from many other sets, but the T206's are still the 'heart' of my collection.
