Default recent small "find"

Posted By: leon

Recently I was fortunate enough to find (and buy) some cards left to a gentleman in Northern California. They have been stored in a closet since 1956. The grandson said he got them when his grandmother passed away in 1992. The grandfather, who was born in 1904, had parents/grandparents that came from England for the gold rush (and did quite well) collected them as a kid. He got married and moved to San Francisco in 1922 where he became successful in business. They went through the depression and I am told the cards are about all they kept....as they weren't worth anything at the time. The grandson was born in 1957 so he never knew his grandfather yet got the cards as an inheritance. Here is what I was able to acquire....

37 Zeenuts w/coupons - all from '13,'14, and '15

2 '15 Zeenuts without coupons of Risberg and L.Williams

5 Texas Tommy's- one being Marsans (SGC50) and another of an uncatalogued player, and 3 commons

1 E90-2 Wagner (SGC20) but looks nice

1 T212 Obak- Weaver (SGC30) looks like a 50 to me??

1 D310 Pacific Coast Biscuit Weaver SGC10

40 Western Playground Association cards (only complete set known)


He still has a few more common cards he doesn't care to sell right now. I thought it was rather interesting to know that there are still finds to be had and just thought I would mention it since these are "new" cards to the hobby...and welcome additions to the collection ....regards all

ps...I sent some in to be graded so I can put them on the SGC set registry for type cards.

Leon:

I think you're being overly modest when you call this a "small" find given the size and composition of the lot. (A "small" find to me would be two or three cards.)

Very nice pickup!

Kevin

P.S. So how many offers have you gotten so far?

Congratulations Leon:

Doesn't get much better than that find.

We all dream of finding the "big" one! Hopefully you can savor this find for a long time. The rest of us will be content on finding the card at the top of our hotlists...seen any Roger Bresnahan T222s in Ex or better condition in your travels?

Enjoy
