How was Larry? He was sort of this Larger Than Life kind of guy…at least to 12 year old me, he was. Man, I remember that day with dad. What a great memory.

Hi Kevin

You'll get a "kick" out of this......

HOF weekend 1989, we dined at the Pepper Mill Inn in Cooperstown. The hostess set us up in their Greenhouse dining room. At one end of this dining
room sat Larry Fritsch (6-foot-6 tall), and at the other end of this dining room sat Dallas Green (6-foot-5 tall).

When we were through eating, we joined Larry, and asked him why you two big guys were situated at opposite ends of the dining room ?

Larry responded...."I guess the hostess situated Dallas and I at opposite ends of the room in order to balance out the weight in room"
He certainly had a great sense of humor.


I appreciate your lunch/dinner offer, however I haven't shown-off my collection in years. Simply because, my Grandson Ron (in Maine) owns a lot of it.
But, you can see (and hear about) my collection by tuning in to my various threads which I have posted on Net54 since 2005.

Always read your stuff. Wish I invested more in my collection then blowing all that money on wine, women and song…

Settled at $1,323,000

It was at $800k last night before extended bidding.

I honestly thought it might go a bit higher. I wonder if all the caveats about how it was removed from the scrapbook impacted the bidding?

Seems like a distinct possibility.

Another possibility:

I'm not much of a T206 collector, so don't hate me for saying this, but $1.3M+ is already a hell of a lot of money...

[53toppscollector]

Ha, sure. But this card is also like 5 times more rare than a Wagner

still amazed at the price considering it is not a Wagner and yes it is rare but it one of the most expensive "error" cards

[Rhotchkiss]

As someone who recently sold a psa 3.5, I think last night’s price was pretty spot on.

It’s a hell of a card and the key to having a complete 524 set of the greatest card set of all time. I climbed that mountain and my set is retired and preserved on the registry, which is why I ultimately chose to exit the investment.

Congrats to the winner. Not many can’t say they held, let alone owned, a t206 Doyle NY Natl
