First ever T206

[T206Collector]

Congrats!

Here's my first T206. Still have it. Purchased for $350 during the summer of 1997. A friend's cousin was selling his grandfather's tobacco card collection to get some cash for a visit to Vegas. I'm pretty sure I got the better deal...

Great minds something something.

Here's my first. Purchased circa 1996 at a Gloria Rothstein show in White Plains for something like $85. I bought it with my confirmation money:

. sorry i dont know where the not out of a pack came from. first t206 Street Portrait in rather nice shape. bought it at a small lancaster show around 1981 (9 years old). Long since gone, I do have my first ever vintage card purchase though. A 1951 topps Gl Hodges in VG condition i think i paid around a dime for it from Vince at Renningers in 1979.

Thanks for the encouragement guys. I can't wait to get my next cards now :-) . I also ordered "The T206 Collection" book to read up on the players and learn their histories as I get the cards.

I'll probably wait a bit on the Christy Matthewsons , but those are some beautiful cards!
