Thanks for sharing the long form, it was fun to read. It brought me back to the day I made my dad buy me "a tobacco card" at a card show. It didn't matter which one, just had to look and feel like that old Honus Wagner you heard so much about. It was an Elmer Flick in decent condition, probably 10 bucks at the time?? Long since lost, that was my first and only T206 until a couple years ago. I am now at about 2 years of only trying to collect the 28 New York Highlanders and with the recent prices even those are proving elusive. I wish I started when you did!
