Seth B.When I was younger, my favorite card store got a 9-card binder page of T206s. This was in 1989 when a 1986 Donruss Jose Canseco was the holy grail, and my Dad brought me fancy-schmancy "Upper Deck" cards from a business trip to Seattle, as you couldn't get them nationwide yet. (I pulled a very valuable Ricky Jordan rookie, there's a bust!)
I went with my usual card allowance, but pooled my resources, and bought a VG-EX Jack Bliss card, which I still own, for ten bucks. It was an ENORMOUS amount for me at the time for one card. I remember the dealer had a Cy Young pitching with the entire front skinned except for the name, he was selling it for 25 dollars, but I decided to go for the whole card.
Anyway, the Bliss was always my favorite card until I stopped collecting around '94. When I started again, I dumped the modern stuff, and pursued more Jack Bliss-esque cards. There you go.
