I don't remember the specific show (some show in Northern Virginia), and I am not sure the year (probably around 1986), but my first T206 was a Bresnahan Batting, and I am pretty sure it was a Piedmont (not sure the series). I loved it. It was so small and old and I thought it was very special. Whenever I "traded" with friends -- and we did that all the time -- everyone wanted my tobacco card, but no 1975 Gary Carter, 1983 Boggs or 1984 Donruss Mattingly could pry Roger from me. I don't think i knew at the time that he was a Hall of Famer.
A few years later I picked up a Cy Young with Glove, which then became my all-time favorite card. Each time I got back into collecting (this being my 3rd time), Cy Young with Glove with an early must purchase.
