For the adventurous ....try for a T206 Southern Leaguer "C-H-O-P" sub-set

[tedzan]

There are 16 Southern Leaguer (SL) subjects that can be found with these 4 backs. Needless to say, in your search you'll find the brown HINDU version
to be quite tough. The real trick to completing this C-H-O-P sub-set, of any of these Southern Association subjects, is finding their 1910 COUPON card.
Thanks to Jeremy, my Ted Breitenstein set is complete. Ted Breitenstein has always been my favorite SL for several reasons previously mentioned.

Nice going with your four Harry Bay cards.

Keep searching for the 1910 COUPON Bernhard....and, between us we'll have the "3 - B's" on this list of 16
Southern Leaguer's "C-H-O-P-ped".

Hey guys....as most of you know, I'm not really into graded cards; however, I feel that my brown HINDU Teddy B. was
grossly under-graded by SGC.

The only flaw on this card is this 45-degree diagonal crease in the lower left corner, which barely appears on its back.


I guess I could crack it out and submit this card to PSA to grade it. But, I've never been fond of PSA. Approx. 10 years
ago I got into a heated argument with PSA when they claimed that my 1949 BOWMAN Stan Musial was "trimmed".

I then submitted it to SGC and Derek Grady graded it for me.

Any and all opinions are greatly appreciated regarding this subject..

Thanks,

mighty fine corners on the Ted B. .
I think minimally a 50 would make sense.
I wouldn't send it anywhere else---you know it's a beaut and that's what counts.
all the best,ole buddy.

Yes, you are correct, a VgEx grade would have been fine with me.

Being as it may, I think I will pop out the Teddy B. from its plastic
capsule and allow the cardboard to breathe.
Brown HINDU cards as sharp as this one are not very often seen.

Take care old friend.

I acquired this HINDU Breitenstein about 12 years ago. I sold it to a friend at the Ft. Washington Show. He had it graded. Subsequently, we made
a deal and I recovered this card from him. I always thought it deserved a better grade than it was given. Therefore, I cracked it open; and, it will
now reside in high quality mylar.

Perhaps, I will next free my 1910 COUPON Ted Breitenstein card.
