30+ DRUM T206's in Hunt's Auction!

wow, i just got my catalog, they have 5 seperate lots of (6) DRUM cards for sale...they are all SGC "A" due to trimming at the top...

most importantly, they ALSO have a RED COBB DRUM! (i know that subject was discussed at great length here)...

they appear to be from the same find, as they all are in the same condition.

thoughts?

Remembering several months ago a lot of back collectors suggested the Drum cards were more scarce then the Broad Leaf cards because the BL 350 was far more common. Does this kind of volume change that any?

i am not sure if this large offering changes the perception of the rarity of drums...but i know you would NEVER see such a collection of BL 460's in one offering...

I recall that discussion about backs and many people preferred the set of 14 different backs noting the BL460 was just too hard to get and 350 helped to complete the set - too those folks the Drum was the sets key card....30 of them in one auction - amazing.

PS anyone interested in sharing on one of those lots - I'd like to get one for my backs set.

part of the reason is that BL 460's have a much smaller subset of possibilities -- whereas the possibilities with Drum backs is pretty expansive...

Just curious: how is it that they are all trimmed the same way? Obviously one owner did this -- but any ideas as to why?

Yes, he trimmed them because he wanted them to be shorter.

Scott <=== not real bright, but he gets this one!

Probably the same guy who trimmed his 51 Bowmans to fit with the 49's and 50's (anyone want half a Ford rookie?)

Edited for spelling because the coffee hasn't kicked in yet

Too bad that Hunt's requires registering a credit card just to bid. They're one of only two auction houses I refuse to bid in because of that. Almost all others will accept references instead.
