Brad GreenAnyone live in Michigan? Anyone interested in buying some baseball cards? A woman in Michigan has advertised in the Sports Collector's Digest classifieds several times about the 1933 Goudeys and 4/1's (Goudey's, I guess) that she has for sale. I called her about six months ago to see what she had. Her husband collected cards for many years. He died a few years ago and now she's trying to sell the cards. She has all the latest price guides and I'm sure she is trying to get book value for them. Not sure of the exact condition, although she said her husband took care of the cards and that they are in nice condition. My guess is that she's trying to get Nr-MT book value for them, even though they may not be in Nr-MT condition.
She has had experience with dealer's in the past. She did not view them as good experiences. So, if you call her and knock on her door, I wouldn't claim to be a dealer.
I will not publish her phone number here, although her phone number is listed in the classifieds of the August 11 issue of SCD. Her area code is 586.
If you email me, I will send you her phone number. After all, it has already been published in the SCD. It is an unlisted phone number.
I hope that someone who lives in Michigan will go check out her cards. You're probably not going to get the greatest deal since she has all the latest price guides, but it would be nice to get the cards into the open market.
As always, I would be interested in any Lefty Grove cards that she might have. However, I don't think buying them from her without seeing them would be a good idea.
Please report your findings if you decide to call or visit her.
