Nice guess, but no. This guy was a true businessman and a dealer I could respect - no card stayed with him longer than a few days before he sold it and moved on. I stood in front of his table one day when he took in a great collection of T206s. Within 10 minutes he offered me the 4 Cobbs for $100 each (about Ex or better). I foolishly said no, and they were sold to the guy standing next to me.
Honestly, at that time I think very few people would have been at all impressed by a "backs collection"...
