In 1984, I was 17 and had been collecting T206's for about 5 years. I received a phone call that a Magie was available for $1000. Along with the Magie was another 20-25 HOF'S available. I scraped up the $1000 and then traded a 1965 set and a partial 1953 Bowman set. One of the most incredible days of my collecting life making that deal !! Boy have times changed !!

When I was 12 years old in 1979 I inherited $3000. Coincidentally I saw an ad right around that time advertising a T206 Wagner for $3000. I think the ad was in CPU (Card Priced Update). I tried desperately to convince my parents to let me spend my inheritance on it. They just thought I was naive little kid who did not understand. Hmmm....
