Show and/or Tell us about your 1st Tobacco card

Posted By: Rhett Yeakley

When I was 9 and my brother was 10 my father gave us each one T206 card. I got the only player in the t206 set to sport a mustache (John Titus) and my brother got Pryor McElveen. About the same time my father also bought us each a 1933 Goudey (I got Pepper Martin and Rhys got a yellow background O'Doul). I still have the Martin but have long since traded away the Titus (really wish I had kept it). Every time I see a Titus it reminds me of how excited I was when I got it.

The first card I ever purchased myself was a fairly nice 1957 Don Drysdale RC, which I took to church to show of to my friends and creased it in my pant pocket, I think I actually cried. (In my defense I was 10)

Great memories.
