First Pack of Cards: 1959 Topps
First set completed by hand: 1961 Topps. When I returned to chasing vintage about 10 years ago it was the '59T set
First T206: Same as the OP, a Matty dark cap bought blind from an old The Trader Speaks ad.
First Card To Pay >$100 For: I think it was a Mantle for that '59 set.
First Card To Pay >$1000 For: Haven't, likely never will. Most expensive card was a '67 Seaver rookie for about $550
Most Memorable Trade: Haven't done many since my North Jersey schoolyard dealings in 1965 but I'd say getting a nice '62T starter lot for a stack of 50s and 60s star dupes I'd upgraded.
