Posted By: Frank WakefieldMastro lot #1324 is auctioned on Thursday, December 18, 2008. The lot has 27 different SGC graded T210s. I am after the Whitaker series 6 card, and don't look forward to buying all 27 to get one card. So I need a partner or two... I'll split it halves, thirds, or any way anyone wants, as long as I get Whitaker. Email fwakefield1@comcast.net Thanks for looking. In the catalog, Mastro sagiciously listed the cards by grade, 60 through 20. I've listed them below by series, then alphabetically. Series 1 Pelky sgc40 Series 2 Archer sgc30 Brown sgc40 Bussey sgc40 Clunk sgc30 Doyle sgc20 Series 3 Corkill sgc40 Series 4 Wills sgc20 Series 5 Dobard sgc50 Rickard sgc30 Wehrell sgc40 Series 6 Kuhlman sgc30 Van Landinham Shelbyville sgc20 Whitaker sgc40 Series 7 Gates sgc30 Griffin sgc50 Ham sgc20 Hyames sgc40 Reeves sgc30 Series 8 Bayless sgc60 Erloff sgc20 Keupper sgc30 McCreery sgc40 Pepe sgc40 Pratt sgc30 Seitz sgc40 Smith sgc40

Posted By: andy beckeri'd really be interested in the lot if the cards were raw. paying for all that plastic just doesn't make sense to me.

Posted By: Frank WakefieldI agree, Andy. Fortunately few are super high grade. If I get my hands on Whitaker I'm busting him out!!!

Posted By: Frank WakefieldRob, I'll photoshop a Puckett card for you, if you like. I'll even scan an 87 WS ticket stub from a game when Kirby was crunching the ball, and work that in there, too. I didn't say he wasn't a good ballplayer. I said he was very good half a dozen years, good half a dozen more... just not my idea of HOF.

Posted By: Jason Lgood one, Rob! heh heh heh...I love the ongoing Puckett dialogue. That would be an interesting card...Puckett in a T210. Where's Wonka when needed?!?! In fact, I would love to see Puckett in all of the T cards!

Posted By: Todd Schultzit's all good on Puckett. I'm just sparrin a little with Frank on that one, and my bark might be abit bigger than my bite. I see Frank as one of the good guys--he sold me a cool t210 on the BST awhile back that I still enjoy alot: <img src="http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff265/nolemmings/10t210_lawrence-1.jpg" alt="[linked image]"> Frank, good luck on your quest. I don't really chase the set--I'm looking for an EX graded card of one from each series for type, but times is tough down here these days. BTW, you said you might photoshop a '87 World Series ticket stub--where you were seated at the Dome? <img src="/images/happy.gif" height="14" width="14" alt="happy.gif">

Posted By: leonIf I am not mistaking I am responsible for the operations of the entombing of your T210. Even our illustrious Mr.Wakefield knows a card slabbed by a reputable company usually brings more than a nude one. I worked with him some time ago to get a few nice ones graded...As I recall I was pretty close to guessing the grades before they were done... Nice card......

Posted By: Todd Schultzway to lend a hand. I would have bought this card slabbed or raw, but I must say, T210s look striking in those SGC slabs. This one really caught my eye. Another addiction in the making.

Posted By: Frank WakefieldLeon, you're correct, that Lawrence card is one of those I sent you to forward on to SGC. I recall that you correctly sussed out the grade each of the cards would get. I was ok with those grades, for a while. Then, with surprise, I later see other T210s with similar grades but with much more border chipping. Either mine were undergraded, or SGC got less picky about grading them later on. Todd, I'm glad that card has an appreciative home!! Aside from the overwhelming number of different Old Mill red border cards, as well as the obscurity of many of the subjects, the fragility of the cards is an impediment to the series being broadly collected. I love 'em! I have 2 partners for some of the cards, still need partners for these: Series 1 Pelky sgc40 Series 2 Archer sgc30 Brown sgc40 Bussey sgc40 Clunk sgc30 Doyle sgc20 Series 3 Corkill sgc40 Series 5 Dobard sgc50 Rickard sgc30 Wehrell sgc40 Series 7 Gates sgc30 Griffin sgc50 Reeves sgc30 Series 8 Bayless sgc60 McCreery sgc40 Pratt sgc30 Seitz sgc40 Smith sgc40

Posted By: Rob D.Roger, Awesome card. It's a little disappointing that the ticket to the Hall of Fame he's holding in his hand got cropped out of the photo.
