What was your first T card?

[Rich Klein]

a T206 McGinnity and maybe Marquard for common prices since they were priced that way and I knew they were HOFers and thus had to be better than commons.

Can't think of when they left me but they are long gone

Miller Huggins hands at mouth T206 from a White Plains show when I was ten. I think I paid $15 for it. Still have it tucked away.

My first T card was this T206 Hannifan about 25 years ago from a Kit Young catalog. Thus began my Jersey City collection and prewar at the same time.

For me it was a T206 Fred Clarke holding bat. I saw an ad in the back of a magazine around 1982 when I was 10. You send them $3 and a SASE and they'll send you one T206. You pick the team, they pick the player. I picked the Pirates because, hey, Honus Wagner, right? Ended up with a HOFer.

Wish I still had it, but I sold it in my teens when girls became more important than baseball cards

T206 Tris Speaker that was pretty darn rough. Long go, but looking to replace it in the coming days.

I got my first pre-War card circa 1990 in a trade with Bill Huggins (RIP Bill), before Huggins & Scott Auctions came into being, at his House of Cards store in a MD suburb of DC. I traded Bill some some pristine 1960 Topps cards (from my childhood collection that, thankfully, Mom didn't toss out after I left home) for a T207 Recruit of Walter Johnson.

My first was a T206 Otto Knabe which I bought from Jim Elder of Odessa, FL for 50 cents in 1973. I bought four for $2 but he only had one available so I got a credit for $1.50. I was 13 years old and my Dad would tease me that I would never see the $1.50 again!
