Here are T205 Hof guys…and then T206 Sammy Strang…he played the Mighty Vols!! Went by Strang Nicklin originally…View attachment 649480
Fun fact: Born in Chattanooga, TN, he transferred from UNC to UT and was captain of the first undefeated football team. First athlete from UT to play MLB and first to play in the World Series. He actually ended up getting Tennessee blacklisted due to playing noncollegiate teams and playing professionally.
 
never had them graded

most of the cards were bought from ages 7 thru 14. Had a lot of fun when my son started collecting amid the griffey rookie ahe upper etc. explosion.

he was lucky kid and it was the first time I had ever bought a wax box or complete sealed set
Well if you still have your stuff from your youth and have the right players in the right condition it would be beneficial to have them graded….you may be sitting on nothing or a gold mine! All depends!

Parents hated that he played baseball…believe father was mayor of Chattanooga..so he changed his name not to disgrace the family
