Dave HornishThe article stated most cards would be graded by SGC and be designated as from the Lionel Carter collection. A few cards are going to be graded by PSA, apparently with no provenance. According to the story, with the exception of his CJ's and some 60's cards, the condition on the cards is superb. He seems to have a NM 33 Goudey Lajoie, a mint 38 Goudey DiMaggio and some nice E92 Nadja's and Diamond Stars among (many) other things. Everything was kept out of the light and properly stored.
Carter did not use sheets or slabs but rather designed his own archival storage system. Doug Allen mentions they may keep all the T206's in the original album and sell it as one lot but that was not definite. Everything else is boing slabbed and sold solo it looks like. This should generate some serious money if the condition holds up on the grading.
