Default THANKS, BUT I STILL CAN'T FIND #109 CARD CLARKE DO YOU THINK BECKETT HAS THE WRONG # CARD?

I'm not sure why you are having a hard time. The card is a 1911 S74 White Silk Fred Clarke that still retains the backing. The #109 Beckett threw on the slab is meaningless. In the 2009 SCD the card lists in top shape for $300. You should expect between $140-275 for the item if the only thing really wrong with it is the crease that almost always is found on these cards.

Do yourself a favor and buy the SCD, the Beckett Almanac is a decent companion to the SCD but the SCD is unparalleled in its scope on prewar. If I was a modern card collector the exact opposite is true (ie Beckett is the place to go).
