Just So Tobacco Cards

[Andy Baran]

I'm not sure how many members of this board are on Facebook, but David Levin posted pictures this week of some newly discovered Just So Tobacco cards (not new players), including Jesse Burkett. Prior to this, the Burkett that I had restored and later sold (quite a few years ago) was the only known example. I'm hoping that either David is on this board, or that another board member may know the story behind this discovery. I personally (and I'm sure others) would love to know the details.

but the first time i saw them they were already sold.

[Andy Baran]

You are correct. I believe that David posted them after he had already sold them.

[BobbyVCP]

David has his select clientele that he goes to first on any new discovery. Only if they pass does he then offer it elsewhere.

Fantastic cards...........saw them on FB too and wondered their origin...........

Anyone care to speculate on what the Burkett sold for?

You can say that again, Eric.

Simply an incredible find. And a bargain if the Burkett only brought in the 40K range. I know someone who paid that much for a W600 Burkett.

Yeah 40k sounds too low
Incredible find
Maybe there's another Cy out there waiting to be found

Great find!! I love hearing about new discoveries/finds like this.

It would be great if a new Just So Cy Young in out there somewhere. Odds are there probably is.

My hunch is that it sold for 62.5 after negotiation. Cy Young would be a great find and would be nice to see it in an auction.

$40k questions: Horsepower? fuel mileage? cargo space?

$100k questions: Number of bedrooms? garage? kitchen space?

Where do you live that those are 100K questions? Because I think moving there might be a good option if there's any decent jobs.

Around here the 100K real estate questions are things like Nearest recent murder? Bike gang next door " friendly" to neighbors? Does it have its own bathroom?

Agreed. 100k isn't even a decent downpayment around here...

Ditto for the Washington, DC, area.

Haha, I just moved from the New York to the DC metro area hoping it would be a slightly better quality of life. Guess I was wrong there
