Anyhow, here is the story....the entire story. By circa 1985, I had acquired 12 of the T206 backs for my T-brand sub-set. I figured the DRUM was to be
the toughest of the basic 17 brands that I was looking for to complete this run.

Barry Sloate helped me with several tough backs; and, found this Moeller card. DRUM cards (if you could find them) back then were selling for $200 to
$400 (Vg to Ex cards). Barry offered this card to me for $100.

Summer of '08, Toby Peterson emailed me to offer me a Frank Delehanty DRUM card. I needed this card to complete my first "A--B--C--D" connection.









Therefore, I called Barry Arnold, since I knew he needed a DRUM card for his T206 back's run. I let him have this Moeller card for $99.

Ted...I WAS serious!!!!!!! 30 yrs ago? why not only $5????? After I guessed $5 I was thinking maybe u got it in a lot for even less???

I picked up my only drum...now long gone at a silver spring armory show around 1992 for $37. The Solly Hofman that Chris B used to own.

OK, you paid $37 for your Hofman.....of which there are 2 graded, and a possible 3rd exists (as, it's been rumored).

I paid $100 for Moeller.....and, only one exists.

Therefore, if this stuff is a linear factor, since my DRUM is 3 times more rare than your Hofman.....our purchase prices are equivalent.

Anyhow, that's how my engineering mind sees this

Ted is able to remember how much he paid for a card thirty years ago. I can't, although I vaguely remember that Drum because of the missing corner.

One thing I do remember well is buying a modest collection of T206 from a family and finding two Drums in the group. That floored me. But don't ask who the two players were.

Bill Heitman's book "The Monster" (circa 1980) first got me going on T206's. But, you really got me involved in the "nitty-gritty" of the T206 cards by clueing me in,
and providing me some of the tougher front / back combos.

The first one you sold me was this Lundgren / EPDG in 1984 for $ 75. ...................v

Regarding the DRUM card....recall that we made a bet in 1985 that it would take me at least a year to acquire a DRUM. Circa Spring 1985, you surprised me when
you told me you had a DRUM card for me. I got quite a chuckle telling you that you lost our bet....by your own doing.

Those early 1980's were great times in this hobby.

I was just taking my 10 year hiatus............only for a few years(1985-1995 about)......

college, girls, a band, motorcycles.......................not a bad hiatus.........

since then, those things are gone!


but returned to the cardboard hard core and never looked back

Only 5 graded of Davy Jones....and, my ungraded card.

Hey, wasn't this guy the lead singer of The Monkees in the 1960's ?

Chase and Chance with LENOX backs are very rare (less than 5 of each).

After a good number of years in Pennsylvania, my blue Chase now has a nice home in Canada.

Hey guys

There is still lots of room here for your rare T206 cards, so why not post them.


Thanks,
