Late 1970s, Nazir Grotto monthly show in Canton, Ohio: Ty Cobb red portrait. I think the price was $40 or so. Of course, being a clueless, high school know-it-all, I sold it a few months later for a $10 profit. |

If I wouldn't have dug up my first post on this forum I wouldn't honestly know but I would have said 4 or 5 years ago... which is off. I purchased my first T206 in November of 2004 - not even 3 years ago... which blows my mind. I feel like I've been collecting them much longer but that's the power of the T206 set! |

Bought years ago in an old CSA grading company slab. Submitted to PSA for crossover when no club membership was required. Very pleased it came back in this PSA 5 case. |

I remember my first purchase because it was at a Coin and Baseball Card Convention. When I entered the convention hall I discovered that there were all coin dealers except for one baseball card dealer. I had brought some cards to trade and at first I thought it was hopeless because there was only one dealer. But I got lucky. |

More than 35 years ago I bought 5 or 10 via an ad in the back of the Sporting News (I think). I don't remember all of them but I'm pretty sure that one was a Mathewson portrait. And I know that none of the cards cost more than $2. |

Killian pitching, bought (I think ) in 1983. It still has, to this day, flecks of tobacco on it. I think I paid $11 but it might have been less. It's VG-EX and that seems high for back then. I didn't buy another for 10 years then I bought a Polar Bear Back at a show, then nothing until 2007. Collecting Superbas but contemplating attempting the (almost) full Monster. |

I have no clue who was first nor do I even have any recollection of the circumstances. I do rememeber how I really got into T206 when this old time collector in Virginia sent me his T206 album containing over 700 cards and asked me what I had for trade. Ended up trading him my 53 Bowman color set. |

I think it was in 1988 that I purchased my first t206. Actually it was a group of about 130 of which all in the condition as the ones I have scanned. There were lots of Hall of Famers many of which I still have. I have sold the only Cobb (bat on) from this bunch. I paid $100.00 for the lot which works out to about 75 cents per card. The seller, like me, had no idea what they were,(he had found them in an attic of a farmhouse they were renovating). Anyway, the odd thing about this find is that there were a lot of color variations and (no Bs) in the lot. These cards actually stayed in my garage until 2001 when I discovered ebay and vintage baseball cards. I've got to say it's been a lot of fun collecting T206s and T205s. |

I bought 2 t206's as my first t206's back in 1994, Schmidt Portrait and Wiltse Throwing. The Schmidt is EX and the Wiltse is vg-ex, both still in my possession and ungraded. I paid $10 each for them at a local civic center card show. |

When I did collect baseball, Bill Campbell of Cinn. was my first back in the the late 70's. Thought he resembled Bill Campbell, pitcher for the Red Sox at the time. The card was a nice EX and cost me 2.00, all that I had in my pocket at the time. |

In 1961 I joined the Army, and I was in basic training at Fort Dix, in New Jersey. One weekend, I got a pass and went to Philadelphia. By some chance, I wandered into an antique store and asked if they had anything related to baseball. He pulled out a box that must have had 1000 T206's in it, although at that time I did not know what they were. The price was $1 each. That seemed like an outrageous price, because my Topps and Bowman cards had cost me only 1/100th of that, and they were bigger! I had only $35 with me, which was half of a month's pay at that time. But I pored through the cards, and found the 35 best........all Hall of Famers, and all in excellent condition, and I bought them. I had no idea that card collecting was a "hobby," or that these cards would eventually become valuable, but I knew what I liked. The players, as I recall, included Mathewson, Tinker, Evers, Chance, Cobb, Young, Brown, Collins.......but no Wagner or Plank, unfortunately. I mounted the cards in a large frame, which hung in my office for years. Around 1981, the first Beckett catalog was published. I bought a copy, and discovered that there were other collectors in the world, and my T206 collection took off from there. |

I was 15 or so and actually reluctant- I think the book on a Winfield rookie was fairly high at the time. The guy was selling cards out of his house- odd set up, but what did I know |
