Can u remember ur 1st T206 u acquired?

[ephus]

I bought this card when I was about 10 or 11 at a card show in Cincinnati. I bought it raw. It was the final day of a 3 day show and the guy set up nextto my Dad was running a half price sale on Sunday. The Marty was priced at $1000 so it was $500 now. All I had was $450 (that was alot of $$ for my age and I had to sell alot just trying to get close enough to make a run at my favorite player and card at the time). The dealer said no to the $450 and my Dad looks over from the table next to the dealer and says, "Come on, give the kid a break, he's got cash in hand. You get a sale you need and he gets a card he wants....you both win" (or something like that). He gave in and it's been mine ever since.I had it graded years later. I still give my Dad credit for helping me acquire one of my favorites.
