I sold them to Jim at my cost and was content in the knowledge that I had helped out a fellow collector. That feeling was validated when Jim posted the link to his ImageEvent Southern League display and I could take pleasure in knowing that I had a small part in that spectacular collection. Fast forward to yesterday, the mail arrives with a registered surprise, contained within this beautiful card, one venerable collector helping out a T206 newbie put together a back collection. Thank you very much, Jim. That was a righteous thing you did.

Jim, is one of the most stand up guys in the hobby. Great story.
