T206 find at an antique show over the weekend

This past weekend I came across an antique dealer at a show who had a book of about 100 t206s that he was selling for someone who had inherited them. He had most of the HOFers in the set except for the obvious rarities. Condition on the cards ranged from good to excellent, and most had piedmont backs. I blew my wad cherry-picking about 10 cards, which he sold me for a reasonable price. An interesting thing is that every card measured exactly the same. Since then a big-time investor has swooped in and offered him big-time cash, so I can stop thinking about spending more money. I've been going to antique shows for years and this is the first time this has happened. As you would guess I'm really beside myself with glee at having cashed in on the opportunity to expand my collection with such clean cards.

Thanks for the opportunity to share my story.
