Barker cards not only used to belong to a great collector, but to a time when collecting was a whole different animal, and the blank back of a card was a dandy place to store information--where better? It sort of puts our modern being-wrapped-up with condition sensitivity to shame.
I don't care how much it's worth; it's worth a lot to me! But I should point out that if I bid 2301 on the card, someone else has to have bid about 2200 (I never offered a limit bid, and bid altogether very sparingly).
I have one other Barker card, my Zeenut McMullen (his only card). I have two other Hoys--both Old Judges. But I spoke about those before--or at least one of them.
