"The Monster" is the name I gave T206

Posted By: Frank Wakefield

I think missing in action is a correct email address for Mr. Heitman, although it may well not be his only one.

Has a complete, I mean 524 card complete, set of the white border tobacco cards, T206, ever sold at one time to one buyer?? I think The Monster is still an appropriate name.

I think of the inspiration for Mr. Ritter's book, Ecclesiasticus, chapter 44 verse 7. And I think of the Commandments. Ten of 'em, there is one about honoring father and mother, but not one about honoring a son or daughter... And I think that is for good reason.

So I acknowledge a debt of gratitude to Mr. Heitman, for his early hobby work. Realistically, almost all modern collectors of T206 benefit from Mr. Heitman's efforts years ago.

What was it that great pitcher for the New York Mammoths, Henry Wiggen said at the end... "From here on in, I rag nobody."
