Collectors Digest- Sept. 1965- Egan on collecting

[David R]

Great post Leon.

I liked the reference to the ad posted by Mr. Gammon in which he announced that he had three t206 Wagners available for trade. I liked even more the author's reaction to Mr. Gammon's ad: "imagine that" - three copies of a card that is worth $150 or better.

It's neat to see people from past generations commenting on even earlier generations. It reminded me of that movie "Midnight in Paris," where people think that their present is not nearly as glamorous, exciting or important as the past. Everyone has their own perception of the "good old days." I hope there will be enough people collecting 30 years from now to look back and say, boy I remember back in 2013 when you could buy a t206 red Cobb in presentable condition for under $1000.
