Best story on where that card came from.........

My story sounds like one you would never beleive on ebay. It wasn't my grandfather, but it was that generation. It was the great uncle of my wife. And, there really was a trunk in the attic. It wasn't a lost collection, just a storage place.

My father-in-law got the collection from his uncle as the uncle got older, with the uncle's consent, from the trunk. My FIL never bought any more, bit did put all the cards into vinyl holders in a notebook.

The collection: About 500 T206's, about 100 of which were duplicates. Mostly VG + grades, no rarities. About 100 T205's in G condition, which may be a little generous. Also about 20 T210's, all from Virginia, mostly G condition. One of these became Ben's lost Zimmerman.

My MIL moved across country, from Virginia. Helping her unpack, she handed me the notebook with all the cards. So, it does happen. I've been filling out the monser collection, only missing 3 cards to complete the set, minus the big ones.
