Posted By: <b>James Feagin</b><p>I've been trying to find a resource for Obak cards which shows what the majority of the set looks like. Since that hasn't worked out, I'm turning to you. Please show off your most colorful and pretty Obak cards and help me learn about these!

Posted By: <b>Bob B</b><p>Are you sure that Kuhn card isn't from the late 60's/early 70's?

Posted By: <b>Chris Mc</b><p>Hey MW, how did you get SGC to grade that? I thought they wouldn't grade the 1909's because they were all hand cut? Beautiful card!

Posted By: <b>Brian</b><p>On 1909s, if the back is framed, you have a good shot at grading. If the back is frameless, then the likelihood decreases greatly... Search this site for a couple of threads that discuss this at length.<br /><br /><br /><img src="http://home.insightbb.com/~scantland/1909Obak/T212-1_Martinke_Back.jpg"><br /><img src="http://www.oldcardboard.com/t/t212/t212r.jpg"><br />
