Back in the hobby!

[Archive]

Posted By: <b>Mike</b><p>Hello All,<br /> I was very much into pre war(especially 19th Century) cards years ago. I was a poor college student with a somewhat unhealthy love for vintage cards(considering my income). Now, several years later I am finding my way back into the hobby. I am particularly interested in lower grade 19th Century HOFers, if anyone has some available. I purchased an 1888 Goodwin Champs Brouthers recently on e-bay and believe it to be real, but there are other G Champs online right now that are a bit suspect(but also seem real).<br /><br />So tell me, is this Brouthers the real McCoy?<br /><br /><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=31719&item=5147746216&rd=1" target=_new>http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=31719&item=5147746216&rd=1</a>

Posted By: <b>Judge Dred</b><p>Ditto what John said. I've bid on a lot of that seller's items because I'm fairly certain they're the real deal.
