Old Mill Cigarette Silks
 
Posted By: <b>Ron Atkinson</b><p>I just found a Fred Snodgrass (NY Giants) at an antique store. It is in incredible shape. I took a chance and bought it for $70. Is anyone aware of any reprints of this issue? I think GAI is the only company that grades these. Does anyone know any different?

Posted By: <b>leon</b><p>I am unaware of reprints of the Silks. As far as I know only GAI has been grading them but you might check the Beckett guys too. Sounds like a nice silk. IF you can post a scan we would love to see it (note reference to "we")......regards

Posted By: <b>Jimmy</b><p>Silks have to be in real nice shape to get a decent grade, and as Leon stated above there are no reprints. I think it would be too difficult and expensive.<br /><br />Jimmy<br />

Posted By: <b>Ron Atkinson</b><p>Here is a pic of my snodgrass silk just back from Beckett grading. I knew they were tough graders but I was expecting a 6 or 7. Ron Atkinson <img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1217805033.JPG"> <img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1217805033.JPG">
