Congratulations!

Do you have a favorite card from the set or one that has a special story for you?

I do...but not just one...a collection.

I got started because a guy I used to play softball with reached out to the guy who runs the league (who used to be a card shop owner in the 80's...got all of that so far???) and asked if he knew anyone who would be interested in his deceased Uncle's collection from when he was a kid. The guy who runs the league pointed him in my direction. He was excited because he had a couple of Mantle cards...

But when we met he had a tin can of 105 T206's cards, and my jaw dropped. I could barely contain my excitement!

The guy with the collection was thrilled because I told him I wouldn't buy them for the price he was asking....I would pay him 2.5 times the asking price!!! I didn't want a reputation for taking advantage of anyone.

At the time I didn't have any T206 cards in my collection but always admired them. Below are pics of the collection, with the highlights being the Johnson Portrait, Red Cobb, and 3 Cy Youngs among many more....it totally jumpstarted the desire to bring the Monster down.

Pics below

P.S. Never bought any of the Mantle cards...lol...had all of them already and didn't have the money to buy them after the T206 purchase anyway...

Green Cobb is wicked! Congrats!

I had a buddy up here in Canada offer me his PSA 5 green Cobb, but as much as I liked it, I had to pass because I'm totally clueless when it comes to these cards! There are the Sweet Caps, Piedmonts, Hindus, Turks, Punjabis, Scandinavians, etc. And then there is the 150 subjects, 350, 350-450, 451-666, etc. Way too confusing!
