Thanks Michael.

One of the first cards I bought when I got into T206s.

At age 11 I bought the Koufax in 1974 from a neighbor with my allowance. I saved for three weeks to raise the $5. The Mathewson I picked up in 1981 at my first card show. I don't recall what I paid. I know it was more than the Koufax but as an unemployed high school senior it was obviously fairly cheap. I loved the artistry of both cards. They were mesmerizing. I remember being amazed how good thier condition was despite being vintage. The cellphone pics don't do them justice. I weny through great efforts to care for them. Although I was curious I never got them graded. I still get a thrill looking at them. They bring back some great memories.

My dad gave me this card in 1979 or 1980 when I started collecting. We found it in a book of his when we searched the grandparents' house for his shoebox of cards (which apparently hit the burn pile in the 60's). It's the one card I'll never get rid of.

I bought this Babe Ruth back in 1980 or 1981 for $20.00 at Columbus Flea Market in NJ. There were two brothers selling off their collection and would save certain cards for my Dad and me to purchase and this is one is part of the few we purchased. We would see them almost every Sunday morning at the Flea Market

This was my Dad's card and he gave it to me
