Can u remember ur 1st T206 u acquired?

Had 3 to 4 t206 cubs in poor/ fair condition that I bought from a vendor at an annual festival in a small Midwest town. Later traded them to board members for E121 cards. No more t206 in my collection.

McGraw portrait no cap, 2006. Still have it and always will. The Ken Burns series turned me on to the dead ball era and McGraw's story captivated me. This turned into about 50 more, then sold most of them off to fund other purchases, when I started to uncover other sets, through this board.

Larry Schafly, Piedmont around 1990-1992 at a small baseball card stand in the Williamsburg Pottery mall in Williamsburg, Virginia. I would ride my bike about 6-10 miles to get there, have lunch and buy cards. I went back a couple of weeks later for got a Donnie Bush, Piedmont.

My first T206 was a Hooks Wiltse Pitching. It was a Piedmont Factory 42. At the time, Factory 42's were getting alot more interest and was able to pick it up at a PSA 2 for $44.95 and I still have the same card.

My first was Nap Rucker (throwing) EX in 2005 and it was an Ebay purchase. I just wanted one for my collection. Liked the card so much, within a week I called Shoebox cards and purchased a Bresnahan (with bat) EX.

BleedinBlue - I remember Teletrade and used to buy a few of cards from them.

I posted this recently on another thread, but heck I will post it again with modifications to focus on the T206's.

I was driven by my folks to a card show near LAX in 1981, and the first dealer inside (yes, I remember it was on the right side) had some beat up old cards in their case. Two of the five I ended up with were:

T206 Mathewson Dark Cap
T206 Johnson pitching

Both were around F-G condition. These cards started me on the path to low-grade collecting bliss. I still have them, and if I had to get rid of all my cards I have collected except one, I would hang onto the Matty - what a classic card.
