Lionel Carter Letter about the hobby - 2003

[T206Collector]

After I won Lionel's T206 Plank card in the 2007 Mastro Auction, I called him and interviewed him about the card and his collection. I also corresponded with him a bit. You can listen to my interview, and read some of the letters on my website, here:

George Vrechek wrote some pieces about Carter for SCD awhile back and they are archived over at the OBC website in the Library section: http://www.oldbaseball.com/

Well worth a read!

Just catching up on this, and am with both John and Peter in the ranks of cynics about how the whole process went down, though am glad that he did not lose his life's effort all together.

Some folks have reassembled a number of his T207s - my two contributions:

One of my favorite cards for sheer visual effect (in person)



and a (rare?) brown-ink back
