Dave WilliamsI picked up my first T 206's at a junk barn in Georgia in the mid 70's, McGinitty and Casey. I was about 13 or so.
I loved history, so I was always going to garage sales and flea markets asking for old Cardinal cards, which at the time were mainly 60's and back.
I got some more T206's at a flea market, including Deacon Phillippe, who was my hero after reading a Fleer WS cartoon card about all the complete games he threw in the WS one year.
Went to college, had no money, then sunk gobs in 80's wax cases......
About 1993 I had an epiphany when the price guides were listing 10 pages of the current year cards, and 1/2 page of pre 1970, and slowly returned to vintage stuff.
