show your 19th century cards

[zljones]

Happy new year. Apparently less than 10 graded SGC and PSA examples of my N172 Comiskey exist. Show me some other rare 19th century of even common 19th century it's all eye candy to me.

[CW]

Happy New Year to you (and everyone) as well, Zach. ^^^ Awesome cards to start the thread.

[zljones]

Once upon a time, I considered trying to get N172s of all of the Canadian teams. I abandoned the idea early, because of how difficult the Toronto players are. I'm guessing a certain London player was going to be just as tough...How many Corcoran variations do you have with London, out of curiousity?


Great cards all!

Regards,

Richard.

8 of the 34 are London, 5 of the hands at chest pose and 3 of the hands at shoulder. They are very tough to find, I believe I have all of the ones I've ever seen, don't remember any getting away but I could be wrong. Also the other London player, Pettee is very hard to find. I won one many years ago off ebay and since then I've seen 2-3 of him on London

Anyone know what ever happened to this 27 foot long bat? It would be hard to misplace something that large. I wonder if it still exists or if it became firewood.

My reply everytime simply is ...... why should I, I love flipping thru my album and enjoying these beautiful gems......the way they were meant to be.

Furthermore, during the past 26 years (thanks Barry Sloate for the 42 - N162's you sold me in 1985), I have put together another 2.5 sets of these
in the process of Up-Grading this set. So, why do I need a Grading Co. doing what I have already done ?

Those are some mighty nice Old Judges, Ken. Especially like the Pud Galvin, that's one of the tougher ones to come by.

[dstudeba]

Love the N175 Conner Brian!!

[bcbgcbrcb]

Here's one of my favorites, not a card but a nearly impossible to find Negro League HOF'er, Frank Grant...........

[z28jd]

Because this thread is too good to die, I figured I'd keep it going with a card I finally got to scan. OJ Nyce on Burlington. He's the only player from the set on this team so it is super rare and try finding a nicer one. Heck I've tried finding a lower grade one so I could sell this one and use the difference to buy more cards!

[bn2cardz]

These are the only two I currently own, but I may need to sell soon to help support the family. Though I plan on holding off as long as possible.
