Need Help with these cards

[kdixon]

I bought these cards about 10 years ago at a card show in KC. I dont know a thing about them, I bought them because I collect Wheat. Has anyone ever seen or heard of Queen City Cigar Store or Pete And Jerry? Oldcardboard issue #26 mentions Queen City Cigar Store as a previously unknown sponser but I dont have the magazine. Any help would be appreciated.

wow,

if a common fetched that price, imagine what a zach wheat might fetch!

[kdixon]

Wow, thanks Matt for the link. I have 2 other cards I bought the same day but they are blank backed. I think I will get them graded.

Nice find Kenny. Wonder what the blank backs are worth?

[kdixon]

I have no idea what any of them are worth WatersJ.

I like those cards a lot, but they seem to have a strange sort of soiling to them. Also, from the back scans they look as if they might be of thinner stock or even paper. Can you tell us more about them?

[kmac32]

Very cool. The blank backs are probably W 575-1 cards

They feel about the same as some other cards I have from that era. They seem to have a little bit of a dirty feel to them. I wonder where the other cards like this were found. I found these in KC I said about 10 years ago but could have been like 7years ago or 15 years ago, I really cant remember but know I have had them quite a while. Thanks for comments guys, I really appreciate it.

Does anyone know in what part of the country the card that was sold in Robert Edwards Auction was found? I cant find a whole lot by using google on the cards. Does anyone know where I can get any more info on the issue? I said the cards feel a little dirty, actually I would say maybe a little dusty instead. They may clean up a little bit but I didnt want to do any thing to them. Feel free to contact me if you know more about the cards.

No information about these cards, just a comment...all of these cards can be found in the E121 related sets except for the Art Fletcher, which I have never seen before. Anyone else recognize this fielding pose of Fletcher from another series, perhaps the Collins-McCarthy issue?

Always neat to see something different--thanks Kenny.

That pose is in the Collins-McCarthy set.

Edit: These look more e121 related...
