Scrapbook That Was In BST

[Texxxx]

For those people that where bidding on the scrapbook a while back I am the one that got it. I didn't get it to make money. I thought it would be a great project to play with and get some of the cards I needed. Of course I am planning to trade quite a few of the ones I have duplicates of for ones I need. As far as removing them it was easy. I started with some beaters of course in case I ruined them. Had to soak for about 2 hours to get them off easy. They cleaned up real nice. Lots of glue all over them. There colors are fantastic with out hardly any fading at all. The reds and blues are very bright. Now on to the backs. They where all SC and Pied 350's except 11 SC 150's and 1 EPDG that was on the Cy Young(Bare Hand). Too bad it only graded a 30.
I sent SGC 49 of them to get graded. I only sent the ones I thought had a chance of grading a 40 or better except the 2 Red Cobbs.
Here is how they came back:
Cobb(Red Portrait) 30
Cobb(Red Portrait) 30
Brown(Chicago shirt) 50
Flick 50
Mathewson(Dark Cap) 50
Mathewson(Dark Cap) 30
Young(Bare Hand) EPDG 30
Red Ames(Hands above Head) 70
Batch 60
9 Commons 50
20 Commons 40
11 Commons 30 - At least 7 of these will get regraded

The rest are poor to good or have Ex fronts with paperloss on back.

It was great dealing with you on it Bruce. Sounds like you did an outstanding job at soaking them off.

Just blows my mind all Piedmont and SC except for one EPDG.

My scanner ***** so let me take some pictures and I will get them up.

Here are a few of them. Some of them will get here tomorrow or Monday and I will get some more posted if you want to see them.

From paper to plastic. They do look mighty fine though, nice pickup!

[asphaltman]

Those look great Bruce. I can't even believe it's the same cards.

Bruce -

If you wouldn't mind, i'd love to see the back of the Cy Young when you get a chance as well.

Wow! Nice! Congrats Bruce, you did a splendid job. Those cards look so much better outside of the scrapbook.

Lovely Day...

So would you part with the Cobbs?
Sorry, had to ask.
