I am banned from submitting to PSA. See past T206 Magie threads where I sued PSA and Joe called me and whispered pleasantries in my ear.

There is absolutely nothing like making a fresh discovery (even though you knew about these for some time). One of the few things in life that really gets the juices flowing.

"The T205 Richie is the only non-Piedmont and is a Green Broadleaf."

They must of been out of Piedmonts at the 7-11 that day! Great find Dan and Dad. Congrats!

Congrats, Dan

There's not much that is more fun than that. Well, maybe a few things. Can't wait to see them at the Philly show.

Nice acquisition. If you're ever looking to move some T205's I can provide a good home.

Thanks for all of the kind words fellow collectors. I will have this collection including a picture of the gent who smoked the Piedmont cigs at the National Wed through Friday for people to see it just as I got it. I think it is neat to see an original grouping from a single owner that pulled them from the packs. Dan.
