Comments: My first Willis was a T206 purchased in March, 2003 on eBay. In May, 2004 I upgraded to a GAI 6.5 after a purchase from E&L Sportscards (Larry Gladstone). In May, 2005 I replaced the T206 with a PSA 8 1906 Fan Craze card via eBay. Then, in September, 2005 changed my mind again when I found a E95 Philadelphia Caramel Willis card graded PSA 5 through the Net54 board - the same seller who sold me a E95 Bender a few months earlier.

UPDATE: In Dec 2015 I found this PSA 7 listed on eBay but have not been able to pull the trigger.  Great card - wish I could do it:

UPDATE: In December 2019, Heritage Auctions offered up a beautiful EX-MT card and I had to take the plunge. I ended up winning their auction and had myself an upgrade. Upon receipt I was stunned at the bright color and overall condition of the card.
