It is amazing how much a T206 with a rare front back combo will fetch when 2 feverish, deep-pocket collectors get locked into a Mortal Kombat duel.
I know this feeling first hand in my quest for a T206 McGraw back run. A opportunity arose for a JM with an Old Mill back, of which there are very few. Fortunately for me, the seller was a stalwart here on the board. Expensive yes, but worth it to me. Of course, I dream of Ted Z's Uzit, which I am sure is one of a kind. But projects for guys like us just fuels our love of pre-war.
