Posted By: <b>Brian McQueen</b><p><br />I had the good fortune of picking up this significant group within the past couple weeks. I normally don't post about recent acquisitions however since these cards are hard to find just for viewing - let alone made available for sale - I thought I'd post some scans of the group.<br /><br />All in all, this group consists of 65 of the 72 cards in the set. Many are still in nice shape and there are a few "hand cut" examples in the collection as well. <br /><br />I'll start by posting the Portland players I have and can get some of the other teams in later on today. This team includes the card of Peckinpaugh in the second row.<br /><br />For those curious, the missing cards are Fitzgerald, Heister, LaLonge, Lewis and ORourke from Sacramento, Daley from LA and Berry from San Francisco.<br /><br /><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1141967252.JPG">

Posted By: <b>peter ullman</b><p>wow...awesome find!!! How will you sell them? Lately there have been lots of small hoards(yours is a big hoard!) or rare cards that have really driven prices down (ie. butter creams, t222, etc)<br /><br />pete in mn

Posted By: <b>Paul Stratton</b><p>Nice collection. That's the biggest group I've ever seen together. Are these on par with the t209's and t210's as far as scarcity? I only have two of them but they are favorites of mine.

Posted By: <b>Zach Rice</b><p>These are much tougher than the average T209 or T210, very impressive Brian. I further the above question, how did you do it ?!?!<img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14> Amazing group.

Posted By: <b>martin dalziel</b><p><br />Fantastic cards. Thanks for posting them.<br /><br />I think its interesting that there are a couple of different uniform styles for the Portland players. D311's are a one year issue, correct?<br /><br />Also, Buddy Ryan of Portland (i'm assuming its Buddy) looks like a black man.

Posted By: <b>Scott Gross</b><p>........... UNREAL ............. Absolutely beautiful .....<br /><br />I really like the "Why, I ought'a give ya' the back of my hand" Mohler pose ....<img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14><br /><br />As a Vernon fan (for no other reason that I like their art-deco funky Tiger logo), I have a comment and a question:<br /><br />1 -- Suprised no Carlisle card.<br />2 -- Did Hap Hogan really have a glass eye ?? (I can't image a catcher with no depth perception).<br /><br />Thanks for sharing .....

Posted By: <b>PC</b><p>Love the Castleton. Is he batting cross-handed? Made me realize that I haven't seen that many mid-swing cards in vintage sets. The Wares pose is also unique.<br /><br />Real interesting set. Congrats.
