Bought a 180 card T206 lot out of a Broadway Rick auction, probably 20 years ago. Very little details in the SCD ad for the auction, mentioned a few HOFers and others. I called for details, and all they wanted to tell me how great a deal it was.....I kept inquiring as to condition, etc, but again they were more interested in hard selling the lot. I already knew I was going to bid on it, it wasn't really necessary. I opened and won the lot for the $1,800 opener. $10 a card, which was a pretty standard price back then. Binders of T206's with HOFer and usually a few E card mixed in were just sold by the card count x's X, which was often $10-12 a card.
When I received it I was pleasantly surprised with a Cobb BL 460, Brown Lenox Chase and several more backs of note. Of course all were sold well before the current boom.
