"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.

Hey Dan- Phenomenal find. You have some really high grade ones there, and you know how those can add up.

I had a smaller find a few years ago; it is a total rush! Congrats!

I was told by the family that they were kept in a small box until just before Pop visited them years ago. The family had gone to see Jack Byrd in Gaitherburg and purchased T sleeves where they remain as we speak.

Another neat tidbit was that they still had our modest business card that dad had made up for us way back then, D & D Sports and our old home phone on it. That was neat to see as well.

All of the cards don't look like these unfortunately. There are many nice one but some have a small penciled number on the front which is just a grade killer.

Thanks to all for the kind words and yes, being able to do this with pop was really special!

Hi Dan,
Nice..... I love finds.... There is nothing better than going through 400-500 "new" cards from the original owner. You get to see the slight differences in cuts and sizes that most collectors never get to see...
Be well Brian

PS Being able to spend quality time with Dad, doing what you both enjoy is priceless..... What a nice early Father's Day present...

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

Congratulations, Dan. Hope to see you in Cleveland. Mark

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.
