Posted By: <b>Bill Cornell</b><p>I had posted about this terrific <a href="http://www.network54.com/Forum/thread?forumid=153652&messageid=1018836686&lp=1019153323">cabinet set</a> back in April and got some good info. Bob Lemke mentioned that the 2003 SCD Catalog will include a few new additions.<BR><BR>Saw today that Mike Wheat's <a href="http://www.mikewheatcards.com/new_list.asp?whichpage=%20%202&sql=SELECT+%2A+FROM+new4+WHERE+%28%60PRICE%60+%3E+ 0%29&name=New+Listings">current acquisition list</a> has 3 of these listed, all Cubs HOFers. A cool 5K or so will take 'em all. I often find his prices a bit ahead-of-their-time, although I suppose for items this unusual you can aim high...<BR><BR>Interestingly, his copy of Chance is not the same one that was <a href="http://www.huntauctions.com/online/imageviewer.cfm?auction_num=4&lot_num=523&lot_qual=">auctioned off by Hunt's</a> a few years ago. I wondered whether these cabinets were unique, but apparently there are at least a few copies of some players out there. This is a very useful feature of Hunt's, I think, and one that Mastro should emulate - let us see the historical data!<BR><BR>Bill<BR><BR>

Posted By: <b>Bill Cornell</b><p>Just about to gripe about how I was quickly banished to page 2 after a thoughtful post about an obscure issue <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14>, then found it back at the top of the heap...

Posted By: <b>leon</b><p>Those are some great vintage poses. I always like the true "picture" cards a lot. You can actually see the difficult times (not $250,000,000 contracts) in the lines of their faces....great undervalued set....IMHO...regards all

Posted By: <b>David</b><p>How about the c. 1905 Faulk Cabinet Set of New York Giants (with the browing/purplish mounts), including McGinnity and Mathewson. As more than on example exists for some (though are still rare), I've wondered if this was commercially issued. I owned a few of them (including a trimmed McGinnity) a while back, but can't remember whether or not the mounts indicated the player names/teams (I think not)-- which would suggest they were for public consumption.
