Derek G.You've all been a great help! I don't believe I have ever owned (nor will ever own) an Australian baseball or cricket card, so, JasonL, I will let you keep that distinction as the "authority on rare Australian b'ball cards"...I have been working on a collection of the "earliest" cards of each HOF. I obviously don't expect to ever own the 1893 Just So Cy Young card (or the 1889 Cabinet that preceeds it) or any of the 1904 Allegheny Card Co. issues, but just coming close to completing this "set" would be a worthwhile mission. I do have a few E103's, some OJ's, some Zeenuts, etc., but I still have a long way to go!
Given that this forum is for pre-war cards, I am probably now the undisputed expert on this forum for Rickey Henderson baseball cards and collectibles. I doubt this will ever come in handy, but you never know.
I look forward to sharing my collection (and "expertise") once I have a scanner and some free time!
Cheers, ~Derek
