View Full Version : Huggins and Scott winnings 7/28/10
I have had my eye on one of these, that a major dealer has, for about 3 yrs. He has a price of about $1400 on it and I never wanted to pay that much. So I can put this one to bed now.....And picked up one other card for resale but this is for the collection....Anyone else snag anything?

Nice! Were those issued as strips with bread? Do you think they cut them first and gave just one?
This is just a guess but I would guess they were made as strips first. Then cut up and passed out with loaves of bread and maybe even put in with them. There are quite a few different stamps on the backs of strip cards. I really enjoy collecting them.....here are a few others that have been shown before but go along with it...

that I have one type card that is missing from Leon's fabulous type-card collection! :(
When I first saw this card in the H&S auction catalog, I had no doubt where it was headed to - Congratulations!

Yours is great too Val. The diamond shape makes it look like they may have used a machine to cut it. (maybe)
Leon, great early Fleer card. Its gotta be the one of the first, right?

I was fortunate enough to pick up two of the Sporting Boiler Team Photo Premiums, Chicago (NL) & Detroit. By the way, does anyone know the approximate size of these pieces (that info was not included in the descriptions)? I should have asked before the auction ended and now I imagine that it might be tough to make an inquiry like that to the auction house while they are invoicing, collecting monies, shipping, etc.

I believe that Fleer stamp was Fleer's first attempt at distributing cards. BTW Matt, in a follow up to your PM, the cataloged stamped backs are also usually worth a touch more than the uncataloged ones.
And also, we have to watch out for fakes. There were a few trying to be sold on this board a year or so ago but they got picked off in about 2 seconds. Some people think all of these stamps are easy to fake. Some people don't know what they are talking about too :).
and thanks for the Congrats, Val....yes, I had also told someone else that that Wools Bread card would find a home in TX..
