t207 Donnelly

Hi Leon,
Thanks for showing that Weaver! Man, it's a beauty and perhaps my favorite card of him!
Interesting story on the T207 Smokey Joe Wood card is that Joe Wood was a guest at a Boston Show in 1980 (Joe's son was a prominant dealer here in New England for decades) and he was signing. However, promoter Joe King ( I bought the promoters collection and MAN was it loaded!) did not have anything available to get signed.
I scoured the room and bought a triple folder and a 207 from Ernie White ( remember him? Founded Tuff Stuff) and Mr. Wood signed them for me. I had them but sold them in the early 1990's.
Like you, Leon, I love the stories such as this to go with the cards! Alas, I'm an old man with many tales such as this from my interesting life with cards. I'm glad we can share them along with our cards here on Net 54.
Everyone, have a wonderful New Year!
Your Friend,
Bill Hedin
PS: This is my 700th post,lol, I guess I talk too much! :O)

Hi Bill: Thanks for the interesting Joe Wood signing story!

And I still need a Broadleaf, Anon or any back Bushelman so he gets my vote for being tough since I finished the rest of the Boston American subset at least 2 years ago .

Thanks for the kind words! I have so many fond memories such as those and I'm really happy to share them. I really get smiling when you & Leon mentioned them!

I have to say that our hobby has been simply wonderful to guys like me.
I mean, making a living in this hobby/industry all these decades has been great. For me, it's the people like all of you here that keep me going! I never log out of Net 54 and I check it constantly to see if I missed anything!

I'm getting some T 207's, too! This thread sparked my interest so I picked up a few cards already! Leon is good for the card economy by giving us Net 54!

Thanks for giving me a fun project to work on!

Regards,
Bill

I've been meaning to add these two links to this thread and ask if the t207 collectors found these prices to be as expected?

SGC 30 Mogridge $647

SGC 10 Donlin $873

Yes. They are tough! However, I would rather wait on a higher grade. A PSA 5.5 Donlin sold recently for under $4K. The only 2 higher graded are MC.
