Thanks for the story, I had never heard it before, and had no idea it was Bill Haber on the box. But, I'm not a football collector, so may never have even seen the box before.
Bill Haber was a very good friend of mine. He and I were two of the 16 Founding Members of SABR, at Cooperstown in 1971. Now I'm the only one left. Bill brought along his T206 set, in a binder, to the meeting. It hurt me to see the T206 Honus Wagner card. It was the same one that Wirt Gammon had offered me for $500 a year or two before. But I was in college, where was I going to get $500? Bill had a job - and $500 - so he got the card! I did get most of the rest of the set from Wirt over the years - but could still use a Wagner!
