That's it! Thanks.

Great looking Gehringer. Much nicer than the number on the flip.

Thanks! It has a SMALL crease through the face area, but it's hardly noticeable, especially in a picture. It also has a small stain-type mark on the top, but again, hardly noticeable.

I have been taught to buy the card, not the grade. VERY happy with this, especially for the price.

Picked up something from the Cardinals Gas House Gang era.

The last 2 words appear to me to be "Candy Co." The "C" looks the same to me as the "C" in Collins. Perhaps it is "Collins Hershey Candy Co."

Val, I think you may be right, I went with the Pa. theme and "read" Reading into it.

T207 - Double milestone pickup.
 

Haven't posted since spring, pretty much no activity... this was an accidental pickup that hit two milestones:

* 100th different T207 Napoleon back
* Completes the T207 Cincinnati front/back runs.

Not much to see, just a serendipitous pickup.

It says Collins-Hencke Candy Co. (part of the "Co." at the end is cut off so it looks funny)

They were the successors to Collins-McCarthy Candy Co.

Prior to any Zeenut cards it was actually the Getleson-Collins Co.

Some time prior to 1911 it had become the Collins-McCarthy Candy Co (I have a 1911 Zeenut w/ the C-McC back stamp and later was Collins-Hencke

Will 2016 be the year of the Cubbies?

Wow nice Dean. Tough to find that card in such nice shape.

Nice centering.

Thanks Luke. Wasn't a card on my radar but couldn't pass it up.

Cool Pickups, Aaron!

I also purchased both of these earlier this year (though the Cobb was a '5')

Great minds think alike?

Chris Bland (the-Illini) was scanning cards last week to list for sale when he noticed Howe's stamp on the back of this Gandil. Chick is now #296 in the rebuilt collection. Thanks, Chris.

Ed: If there's ever a Collectors Hall of Fame you are going in on the first ballot. The resurrected Howe McCormick T206 collection is beyond astounding.

Ed great colors on the Gandil! Sweet card

Found these at the Long Beach Coin and Card show...

Beauties AJ!!
