So I went with my mother to SGC today to drop off my submission, and two other people were waiting to be helped. I casually asked them what they were picked up, and the man said, "a Honus Wagner, THE Honus Wagner." I pretty much looked like this :shock: The story behind this was an 83 year old man left his estate to a church, including 194 REALLY old cards, including Ty Cobb red backs, Cy Young with the hand showing, Walter Johnson, Nap Lajoie, etc. etc, all the huge names in T206. Along with that was a 1911 Sporting News (?) Cy Young, didn't really get a close look at it, but I got a close look at this:
It was incredible. My brother who also collects turned down going with me to go to a swim club :lol: he's going to be pissed once he finds out I saw it in person. All the T206 cards were trimmed, but still beautiful.. A really incredible experience, the collection is being auctioned up through Heritage, I'm going to try to follow it if it is possible..
Thanks for the read!
