Just a friendly bump to get some more interesting stories on how you got started on your adventure collecting T206 cards......whether it was putting together the set,
or specializing in your particular project(s) regarding T206's.

Before I leave you, here's my short-story regarding my first DRUM card. Circa 1984 at Willow Grove, a mid-west dealer had four DRUM cards for sale. He wanted $100
for each of them (they were VgEx cards). I offered $350 for the four. He adamantly said....NO !
I said I'd think about them. The more I thought about them, the more I wanted them. At the end of the day, I went back to his table with $400, but he had sold them.

I told Barry Sloate about my foolish regret regarding the four DRUMS. Barry made me a $100 bet that I would not find another T206 DRUM within a year.
Six months later, Barry says he has a DRUM card for me. And, I can have it for free since he lost our bet. So here is my first DRUM card.
If I recall correctly, it is the only known DRUM card of Moeller. However, I may be proven wrong about that.

Well, no responses to my request here, so here's my follow-up DRUM story(s)............


Twelve years ago at the Reading Philly Show, Toby (bigfish) "made my day". I acquired this Frank Delehanty DRUM from Toby to complete my first A - B - C - D subset.







Then, around that time (2009), Barry Arnold, a good ole Net54 buddy contacted me wondering if I had a extra DRUM card so he could complete his T206 back collection.
I offered Barry my Moeller DRUM card, and he was really happy with the very reasonable deal we made for it. I received this DRUM card from Barry (Sloate), and gave it
to Barry Arnold)



This Elberfeld is my nicest looking DRUM card. He is one of 36 (or 37 **) subjects from the 350/460 series which were printed with the DRUM back.


. .


** Note.....Mullin (batting) in this series has not yet been confirmed with a DRUM back.



Alright, this is the last time here that I will ask for your stories. I'm sure that some of you have some exciting T206 story (or two) to share with us here.

Yes we did, and I sort of regret doing that deal.

All our other cash / trade deals have been fine.

Take care,

Hey guys,

It's been a while since we displayed these type of T206's, so let's do it again. Especially the T206's that have a different name on Top from the name on the Bottom.

I'll start this show with Hannifan and Schulte. My Schulte card is also a Blank-Back (with a bit of paper-loss in the upper left corner).

I forget who got what card, to be honest, as I think I owned both of those two different times...funny how some cards go through ours hands multiple times. Neither one is currently in my collection, anyway.

Whenever we've done deals, I think we can agree they were fair during that time.
