I bought my dream card

[skelly423]

Thanks for the warm welcome. If I had the means 10 years ago, I would have bought it, but as many of you know, school, marriage, kids, and life in general can put those plans on the back-burner. It's not the $5k PSA 5 I could have had 10 years ago, but it's plenty good enough for me.

I've noticed a few of you have referenced wide borders. What's the significance of that? Does it relate to trimmed sides (or, more specifically, lack thereof)?

If (or more likely, when) I buy more t206, I'll be sure to share them here.

Exactly - borders like on this card are a nice sign that the card hasn't been on the receiving end of a haircut. Too often you see a numerically graded T206 that you'd expect to have an American Beauty back (which are narrower) but it's not. This card looks great!
