Default Great T206 "finds" come in 3's.....?

Posted By: Bill Todd


Ted's prediction appears to be spot on. A local storefront dealer near me has picked up a collection of about 900 cards out of Southern Pennsylvania. There are a bunch on non-sport, and some caramel, but the T-206s number “in the hundreds.” They’ve done a back review, and come up with a number of Old Mills and one Broadleaf (on eBay right now), but I don’t have any more info on front/back combinations.

The last I heard they’re planning to dribble the cards out on the Bay over the next few months. And when I was in last weekend, I heard that this may be only the first half of the collection.

Unfortunately for the hobby, these guys are much more into modern than vintage, and so are less likely to put much effort into a census. The only recourse may be to watch their offerings. Ebay handle is burtonscards.
