first off great great thread!!!

i must say ever since i was young i have always loved old stuff...the older the better i still own a 1797 penny, why becaus it is old, i love old books i just love old stuff. then i was into the whole pack stuff the thrill of the pull...but i would get great cards sell them then either boom they went way up or..i would keep them..those cards always went way down in value lol, so i would from time to time see older cards 50's or 60's i loved the older look the older feel, so i would buy them but i live on the west coast, well try finding t206 or that era on the west coast in the 90's good luck so i could never get the tobacco cards till the dawn of ebay and other great sites, now i collect old judges and t206's t205's why because they are old and i can afford beaters lol
