Wow.
Not sure I want to engage, young dude... but here goes.

I got the Speaker and 5 other T206 cards from the CCC sometime around 1968 or 69. I won't tell you what I paid, since that appears to offend you. If you're a baseball fan, you might be able to guess what 3 of the other cards are. Hint: not the Dutchman, sadly.

If you don't know what the CCC was, ask Symphonic or one of the OGs of card collecting here to explain it to you.

The card is not in a holder because I took it out to photograph it for my archives. I keep it in a thick plastic holder in a bank vault.

Concerning authenticity - in the 1960s and 70s, cards were not worth much. A 52 Mantle could be had for about twenty bucks. Counterfeiting cards was not a thing, since nobody wanted old cards. The first Beckett price guide didn't come out until 1979. Unless I decide to grade the Speaker, its only authenticity will be my personal life history.

Ok sounds good. Doesn't offend me, I'm not upset that you do it. I don't take it as an insult, just an observation I was curious about.
As for the Speaker... I apologize if I offended YOU. Obviously a youngster like me doesn't have the experience or knowledge like someone who's been around cards as long as you. But you have to admit T206 cards are some of the most counterfeit cards out there. You could have gotten it 10 years ago.
But... yet again, we find ourselves at a crossroad. How bout we drop all of it and get back to showing cards? Deal?

Metsman with a very strong showing today!

1966 Topps started off in a strong fashion with Mays (#1), Mantle (#50), Rose (#30) and Koufax (#100) in its' first 100 cards. Add my favorite player back then, Willie Horton to the mix and that was a really awesome start to a set for me personally.
