T-shirt to chase the dream.....

If you were 9 in 1909 you would be 111 going on 112. Don't count on it.

A collector didn't need to be alive in 1909 to have collected T206's.

I got my 1100 t205's and t206's in ND in 1971-2 from a guy who collected them as a kid in NYC. He was very happy to have found someone who was interested in them!

Maybe the t-shirt would read something like this?

Honk if you have seen this man?

Years ago I bought some very large Detroit Tiger photos, I mean very large, 5 were 30" x 40" and one was 40'" x 60'. They were done by the Detroit News in the 1930's. Anyway the person I bought them from was 93 years old, this was around 1980. He had many T206 cards in a scrapbook. That was the last original collector of T206 cards that I knew. He would be 125 today. You can see one of the photos as my avatar, Ty Cobb.

Don't you think if you had a t-shirt sayying "ask me about your baseball cards" you would have tons of people telling you all about thier "investments" from 1988 - 1995? It happens to me all of the time and I don't have the shirt. It goes something like this
"Hey. Arn't you that guy who collectects old ball cards?"
"Yes. I have a few."
"Well I got a bunch up in my attic from when I was a kid. I still think I got one of those McGwire rookies. I even got a few packs of Upper Deck. In a few years I'll cash those in and take a nice vacation. You want to see them?"
"Uh....Sure. I guess so."
Then the let down and dissapointment comes or the disbelief and something about how I don't know what I'm talking about.
Not sure about wearing a shirt to get to look at someone elses collection of 92 Score cards.
Just my opinion,
Drew
