Brian,

Until the small horde of AB packs surfaced in about 2006, there were no AB packs floating around to debunk the myth. It's a relatively new discovery.

Ted - Your post about the boys and the T-206 knowledge warmed my heart. I had little hope that such fans of T-206 existed at that age.
Its really, really good to see.

I loved the story about the kid Brothers. It's nice to see another Doyle error but those young ones in the hobby is a very cool thing.

It was refreshing to see how enthusiastic Zack and Ben were about BB cards. I was their age when I first collected BB
cards in 1947. We certainly didn't have personal computers in those days......nor did we have a TV set. But, we had a
really big library in town with loads of books on BB.

Back in the early 80's, I would always make it a point to show them to younger kids than me. Without exception; they were always fascinated by those turn of the century cards. I don't know why, but kids always loved those cards. It's good to see that a few kids are still into those cards. I hope somehow; since it is only 2 hours away; that those kids make it to Baltimore next year! I know it is an expensive trip; but usually free admission for kids at the National *or we'll have to convince Mike; John and Bob to make an exception*

That show is known for Doyle's appearing. There have been three now (two of which were real) that made their first appearence at that show. I was telling Leon the story at lunch today about the first two

Those kids came by my table and asked for Nap Rucker. I was taken a back and asked why he wanted a Rucker. He just said he didn't know and looked a bit more.

I didn't talk to them as much as Ted, but maybe I should have. Nice to see young blood.
