Downs T206

[vthobby]

I have an interesting thought on where and why the top is missing.

In 1932, before robbing the jewelry store, he remembered that damn T206 in his pocket in which he wrote the address to the store on the top white border. Not wanting that evidence on him, he cleanly cut it off........the store owner found the card on the ground outside after the robbery.

He instantly recognized the mug on the card (albeit, a younger version!) and Mr. Downs was in effect "Down for the Count!"

This could have happened.....?!?!?!? In my dreams!

Peace, Mike

I have no proof it DIDN'T happen! ....also I can't PROVE this painting I have of dogs playing poker wasn't painted by Rembrandt

Your dogs playing poker might not have been painted by Rembrandt but I enjoy them as much as any Rembrandt I have seen.

Got my Downs today! Love it! (love all my cards). The background is a near match for the Ritter card I already had.
You know as much as my collector lust makes me want to collect OJ I have to admit there is scarcely a set out there more beautiful than the humble T206.

Back in his day he is what would have been called a "rounder"
