Don West!! That all I have to add

[JustinD]

The birth of the "Hidden Treasure" crap boxes.

I doubt anyone ever won it because I don't remember any story of anyone winning the T206. Those redemptions have long expired and they made well over the cost of the crap that was in 99.9% of these junk boxes.

Will Ferrell did a pretty funny Don West on Saturday Night Live:

The card in the video is #29 in the T206Resource Wagner gallery:

It was in a screwdown holder in the video, but was in a PSA 1 holder by 2002, when it sold for $54,000 in Teletrade. Most recently, it just sold for $1,169,875 in Mile High this past September.

I remember way back then, I bought 2 boxes of what was suppose to be a super valuable mix of cards. They were $50 a box and I just happened to have an extra $100 cash and was looking to break in my first ever credit card that had a $200 limit on it. I remember getting my first credit card bill with the $100 charge on it plus the shipping. I paid the total balance and a few days later a couple large brown boxes were delivered. I was so excited. I opened the first one, and it was nothing at all like what they showed on tv. I figured there was maybe $8 to $12 worth of cards and many were not even a brand I ever heard of. So I opened the second box, and it was worse than the first box. I called right away to complain and get my money back. They said I'd have to pay the shipping back to them unless I took a store credit. So I took the credit and the next weekend they were offering a limited numbered to 2500 Mickey Mantle poster made by Topps that was framed. I remember having to only pay like $40 plus my credit. So I got it and was very happy with it. A few days later, I got my credit card bill and paid off the total balance. A week later, they bumped my credit limit to $500. A couple years went by and I had a $20K limit on it. I was 18 years old and stupid. I ended up doing a stereo upgrade in my Honda. Took forever to pay that off, plus I had no idea what a 21.99% interest rate meant lol. But I still have the Mantle poster. The Honda is long gone and just a memory.
