Mike- Congrats and good luck on Donnelly. Toughie but others much tougher so I think you'll get him soon. As far as the National goes, 2 years ago I stumbled on a couple selling cards with a small table and little fanfare who had some really nice red Cycle backs in a binder and I bought several. Many years ago (1995) at the National a seller had a whole slew, almost a complete set in vg-ex to exmt condition in a small box under his table, not even shown. I asked if he had any and he said he did and let me have the box and I thumbed through them and bought about 50 while I was working on the set. He gave me a terrific price because he said he had had them a while and they weren't selling like the other tobacco cards. If I knew then what I know now I would have bought every scarce back card he had. Oh well,... In any event, be sure and ask each dealer for T207s, many don't display them although as the years have gone by they have garnered a little more respect.
