What was your first T card?

[Zach Wheat]

My first T card was a T206 portrait of Walter Johnson (no pic right now). The card was a throw in when I was buying a nice looking Koufax rookie. Got hooked on T cards...

My uncle died when I was 7. He had 4 daughters and I was his only godson so his wife gave me all his baseball cards. He had shoeboxes full of small cards ( I now know they were all T205 and T206 cards) and weird square cards with Goudey on them. I was only interested in current topps cards at the time. I remember using the Goudey cards in my spokes on my bike to make it sound "cool". My mom threw them all away when I went to college. My youngest daughter got into the 2002 Topps T cards. Hit on a t206 Bradley buyback insert. It brought back memories of my uncle and I did some research. I now have about 100 t206 cards and add a couple of cards a year to my collection.

Not many of us can say we put Goudey cards in our bicycle spokes!

Probably sometime in the late 1980's, my dad picked up our first T206. And yes, it was because of the 'stache.

My first was a T206 Oscar Stanage (SC) in the early eighties on a card shop on Lincoln in Anaheim, CA. My Dad bought it for me for $9, and I have been working on a back run for the past few years. I need a Tolstoi and a Broadleaf. I will call it a day after the Tolstoi.

Funny thing is I work in the area and frequently pass by the location which is an insurance company now.

I bought this on eBay and nearly had a heart attack when I won it. I didn't even know what the OC on the flip meant.

Maybe "Outstanding Condition"?

T206 Matty dark cap was my first T-card. I sold the original years ago. But it has been replaced with another example.
