T206 possibilities near Cooperstown
Hi Jantz,
I know you are working on a T206 collection, so you might be interested in this. There is an antique store near Oeneda on Route 7 about 20 miles south of Cooperstown. The owner's name is Don F. (I can't think of his name at the moment, but I have is card around here somewhere). He has a large number of T206s (hundreds) and other vintage cards. I buy Ts from him every year on induction weekend at the baseball card show in the VFW hall in Cooperstown. I bought a nice Gandil from him this year. He is willing to discount his cards and his prices are similar to what you will pay on the BST. Ted Z. knows Don very well and could probably get you more information. In the meantime I will try to find the name and number of his antique shop. I could drive right to it, but I can't remember the name of the store. You might want to call him ahead of time and let him know when you are coming. He told me that he keeps the bulk of his collection at home for safety.
Anyway, enjoy your trip to Cooperstown. There is plenty to do and the museum alone is worth the trip.
Best wishes,
Joe
