Can u remember ur 1st T206 u acquired?

1981 at Willow Grove......I recall acquiring this Hal Chase from Wayne Miller. Wayne was the "T206 King" back then. He would set-up at the show with
many 100's of T206 cards.
Wayne was set-up at Tables #27-28 at this show. From March 1983 - 1992, I was set up at Tables #38-39 (across the aisle from Wayne). I acquired
many T206's from Wayne back then. Those were really great times in this hobby.

For an example of how inexpensive T206's were in the early 1980's. From Bob O'Leary in 1982, I bought a Green Cobb for only $15....it was RAW.
Both Bob and I agreed that this Cobb was VgEx (Gee....whatever happened to good ole 2-party grading).

c. 1992 at a small card show at the Trolley Station Mall in Bethlehem, PA (Jay Wolt- remember the Trolley Station?).

after i got these first 3 cards (which i still own), i was hooked. i then met Jay, and bought many T206's from him over the years. As i've probably mentioned here before, i would visit Jay's shop in P-Burg, NJ and he'd give me a history lesson on each player and the game at that time (dead ball era). i cherish those visits with him.

Funny thing, Ted, I bought my first T206s from Wayne as well--a Johnson pitching if I remember correctly. And yes, I still have it. During the week Wayne kept some of his inventory in a small coin and stamp shop in Laurel, MD. He'd come in on Friday mornings to scoop everything up and take it to his next show. When he came back in on Monday mornings he'd have all the purchases from the show. I got to see some fabulous things, and even buy one or two from him on my limited budget.

Sorry Adam, I guess I should have thought about that!
