1988, Charlottesville, Va. My first T206s purchased were a group of 130 or so with Cobb, Johnson and maybe 15 other hall of famers. I paid $100.00 for the bunch even though i didn't know what they were. i just liked them (liked them ever since). First single card purchase was at Southern Cards (Marco) on main street right after his Richmond find. It was a vg-x Pattee for $5.00.

January 2011: I was watching Ken Burns' baseball documentary, and was reminded of the sad lexicon (Tinker to Evers to Chance). I'm a huge Cubs fan and thought it'd be neat to own old baseball cards of them. Looked on eBay, realized it was a "Freaking huge deal", and then did research on the whole Cubs set, and bought a George Brown Chicago raw (Good condition), for 14$. Found Net54 in Feb, and put the whole Cubs set together, then put it together in Sov/EPDG/Tolstoi - and here I am, deeply engrossed in the hobby, a year later.

BTW, looking to put together T205 Cubs sovereign/AB/Cycle, and T207 Cubs (need Saier, Miller, Tinker, Schulte). Shameless plug.

Yep, still have it! (Thanks, Keith!)


Sold it at one point and bought it back a few years ago. Keeping it this time!
