Default Tango Eggs Hughie Jennings

The one thing that pissed me off right after the hoard was discovered!

Back in the early 90's there was a full page ad placed by Al Rosen (Mr. Mint) in the SCD for these cards at crazy cheap prices, with a phone number. I called within seconds of seeing the ad, and was told all the cards were sold.

I think it was Brian that told me the ad was a fake and was placed by Rosen to see what type of demand the Tango Egg cards would bring. If I remember right Mr. Rosen didnt even own them at the time but was thinking of buying them and wanted to know how they might sell.

Was this the story Brian???

PS I also owned a sharp cornered Tango Chace with surface chipping all over the back, but it was part of the find, just bad cardboard.
