Default Purchased the $5 T206 Elberfeld Washington card

Through an ad I posted on craigslist. The dealer I purchased it from said a board member made an offer for all his t206s that was too low. I also bought several Baltimore '14 CJs priced according to the book and 5 Baltimore OJs he purchased from a Baltimore collector.

The beater t206s that included the Elberfeld he said came from a widow's basement or attic in Gloucester -- a red flag I could afford to overlook at that price in the heat of the moment.

It was an hour's drive that was well worth it thanks to the encouragement of several board members.
