Another chance at Lections
 

This isn't the first time I have seen a rare item come out.....and come out again..

Wow, that is a complete bullshit move by the seller. Any idea why they backed out of the first sale? Do they think they can get more? I guess they possibly can now that all this attention is being given to the lot.

(for those who may not have seen this thread)

edit: not the same lot as pointed out below. My mistake -- no BS from the seller here.

is that a different "Set?"

the ruth card is definitely not the same?

Different set...

This one is not a set. There are 3 Chance's and 2 Shawkey's, and 2 Ehmke's.

Wow, I know they are rare but those might be the worst condition baseball cards I have ever seen! I am sure there are people out there who will want these bad, but personally I would rather have a hole in my collection than that many holes in a card!

agreed...no thanks on the lections...even without holes I've never been a fan!!!!

Wow, I would've never expected another complete set! (or group, in this case)

Previous negative comment about the seller retracted. My bad.

Man those are rough even for my standards...and I am practically a collector with no standards.

The overall area on the cards consumed by holes is almost greater than the remaining cardboard...which of course is good for card flexibility, or for their use as a sieve.

I've many times wondered why those cards were hole-punched like that. This is far from the first grouping to have these holes, so it is not just one little kid back in the day run amok. Maybe they were good for a free ride at the fair, maybe they were redeemable if the kid collected signatures or did some other service? Neither of these is a very satisfactory explanation, but there should be one somewhere.

It also escapes me as to why these would have survived in such rough shape. It's one thing to put cards in your bike spokes or carry them around until they were worn and creased, but this just seems like overkill by someone who couldn't possibly see these as a collectible, right? I mean, why save something you seemingly have gone out of your way to nearly completely deface (in some cases literally)?

I find it interesting that the hole punches are different shapes and sizes too, as if punched by some crazed kid on Christmas morning with a multi-hole hole puncher that was under the tree.

Wonder if the kid got carpal tunnel.

Starting to wonder how many of these continue to surface in Upstate New York at the same auction house.

Wow, condition on these is pretty god awful. Looks like a dog got at them.

I think termites got to them.

No his wrist just went dead for a while...carpal tunnel hadn't yet been invented.

From a short while back....these at 120 a piece might not have been a bad deal. :eek:

Pretty non descripti cards, half of which look like a German Shepherd puppy had at them. Pass.
