The first card, T206 Hannifan, was my very first prewar card, first T206, and most importantly, my first Jersey City Skeeters card. I wanted a T206 since I was a kid and at the end of my college career I decided to get one. I got a Kit Young catalog and rifled through it and got to the T206 section. There was one image as an example and then just a list of cards available. I picked this card because it was a Jersey City card and I'm from Jersey so it seemed a natural choice. I loved it when it arrived and couldn't believe I finally had a T206. It was a Sovereign back as well. No backs were listed in the catalog, it was before backs were a big thing.
This not only made me love prewar cards and start my prewar collecting, it also started my Jersey City Skeeters collection. The second card shown is my T215 Red Cross Billy Purtell Jersey City card which has one card (this card) graded by SGC and no cards graded by PSA at this time. So I'm defintiely keeping this one as I wouldn't be able to replace it any time soon even IF there are any others out there that aren't graded.
Take care fellas.
