My First 1909 T206: A Philadelphia Athletic!!

[Utleyfan]

Just won this off eBay:



Harry Krause of the Philadelphia Athletics, Topps T206 1909.

I'm very happy with this purchase, as I have been hunting down Topps T206's since summertime ever since I read The Glory of Their Times and read about players from this era. I sort of lost interest but recently somehow had an urge to get one.

Pretty happy especially because it is of a Philadelphia Athletic.

Thanks for looking

That is awesome! I know it may seem incredible, but I remember back in the '70's, Larry Fritsch, I believe, used to sell T206's for a dollar a piece. Good times! I picked up Christy Mathewson, John McGraw, and Joe Tinker for a buck each. I think I picked up Frank Chance for $10.
