Matty dark cap for me back in 2002. I still remember being blown away when I first looked at it after taking out of the package. I still have it too.

I have collected cards since 1979 when my dad purchased me some 1979 Topps packs so I could get a Thurman Munson card.I was hooked.I joined the old Piedmont Sports Collector's Club in Greenville, South Carolina the same year.
I attended my first card show in 1980 in Greenville, SC with $55.00 in my pocket.For $55.00 that day I brought home 1955 Topps Sandy Koufax Ex+, 1956 Topps Duke Snider Ex+, 1953 Topps Pee Wee Reese NrMt, 1954 Bowman Pee Wee Reese Ex+, 1966 Topps Sandy Koufax NrMt, 1960 Fleer Ted Williams NrMt-Mt, 1960 Fleer Ty Cobb NrMt-Mt, 1963 Fleer Willie Mays NrMt, T 206 Nap Rucker Ex, T 206 Zack Wheat Ex+, T 206 Tris Speaker Vg, and 12 common Brooklyn Dodgers cards from the 1950's Topps. My best purchase of tobacco cards was at a Civil War Estate Sale in Richmond, VA in 1987.I bought a wooden sewing box containing 453 T 206 cards for $400.00 plus 135 T205 cards for $110.50. I miss those old days.

1988, Charlottesville, Va. My first T206s purchased were a group of 130 or so with Cobb, Johnson and maybe 15 other hall of famers. I paid $100.00 for the bunch even though i didn't know what they were. i just liked them (liked them ever since). First single card purchase was at Southern Cards (Marco) on main street right after his Richmond find. It was a vg-x Pattee for $5.00.

January 2011: I was watching Ken Burns' baseball documentary, and was reminded of the sad lexicon (Tinker to Evers to Chance). I'm a huge Cubs fan and thought it'd be neat to own old baseball cards of them. Looked on eBay, realized it was a "Freaking huge deal", and then did research on the whole Cubs set, and bought a George Brown Chicago raw (Good condition), for 14$. Found Net54 in Feb, and put the whole Cubs set together, then put it together in Sov/EPDG/Tolstoi - and here I am, deeply engrossed in the hobby, a year later.
BTW, looking to put together T205 Cubs sovereign/AB/Cycle, and T207 Cubs (need Saier, Miller, Tinker, Schulte). Shameless plug.

Yep, still have it! (Thanks, Keith!)
 Sold it at one point and bought it back a few years ago. Keeping it this time!
