Bob BannonHi,
I need to thank everyone who was kind enough to help us with this quest. As I explained to Chuck Paris, our greatest benefactor, we started less than 2 years ago with 14 cards remaining from a collection that had been stolen from our Father.
Well 5 days ago we presented the old man with 461 T206 cards. It was the first time I'd ever seen him cry.
It definately would not have happened were it not for the kindness of some of the people in this forum.
Thank you, Bob
PS, Dad has given us permission to continue this journey, (not sure how much time we have). But on the chance you have any of these we are still going to work on this. Happy to buy or trade:
