"Southern Find"
I should also note that there is another card find that had T213's from the mid 1990's that has taken the name "Southern Find". The card find I am referring to was also called the Southern Find (because of the Company name involved) but it was several years prior and I think the names were mixed together due to pre-internet word of mouth information. This T206 find is unparalleled as far as I know...

Correct
The southern find was absolutely written about several times in SCD. It was an impressive collection of beautiful t206 cards. The first find from late 80s.

It sounds very similar to the E98 Black Swamp Find. It is encouraging to hear this story (for me, for the first time as well), as I had always assumed that the cleanest T206s were either trimmed, or had been soaked out of a scrapbook once upon a time.
Thanks for sharing. Would love to hear/read/see any more details.

i never heard the southern find consisted of "uncirculated" cards? In fact if they were uncirculated then why are so many that ended up in the harris collection suspected of being trimmed?

One of the local guys here (Virginia) was involved in the original Southern Find of T206s. I think I even have one or two of the cards from that find - still raw. I'll try to get a photo/scan of them.
I'll see if I can get him to chime in here with some more details. I believe he is a member.

Many of the T206 "Southern Find" cards were graded by SGC (SBC at the time?). There were many pristine cards - 92s, 96s and 98s. I need to find my notes, but if my memory serves me correctly, I remember multiples of McGraw finger in air, Keeler batting, Johnson portrait, Waddell pitching and Young side view. There were also some T3s. They were nice, but I do not think that they were in the same sort of condition as the T206s. Tony Galovich bought quite a few of the cards raw and sold them to some coin dealers who immediately had them graded.
