Posted By: <b>barrysloate</b><p>Since I have been asked by literally hundreds of people (okay, three people) for an early preview of my May 15 auction, here are some of the highlights:<br /><br />* A nice grouping of 19th century cabinet cards, including a team photo of the 1888 St. Louis Browns, a studio cabinet of Bid McPhee, and Newsboys of George Van Haltren and Parke Wilson.<br /><br />*Some superb 19th century cards, including a high grade N162 Mike Kelly, high grade N172 Old Judges including Connie Mack, Kid Nichols, Ned Hanlon, Amos Rusie, and the rare Cushman, Toledo.<br /><br />* Many high quality E-cards, including an E107 Type 2 of Rube Waddell, numerous Honus Wagner and Christy Mathewson cards, and many rare issues such as E103 and E106.<br /><br />* A superb group of tobacco cards, including many high grade T206 Hall of Famers and rare backs, some high quality T205's and some rare T207's.<br /><br />* Many high quality 1930's gum cards, including a nice group of EX-MT and NR MT Hall of Famers.<br /><br /><br />And that's it, there's absolutely nothing else...well in truth, there's MUCH, MUCH MORE, but everyone says that and I like to be different.<br /><br />That's just a smattering to whet your appetite.<br />

Posted By: <b>john/z28jd</b><p> You know if enough people ask we will basically be able to piece together the whole auction or possibly end it early. Barry I'd like you to end the Cushman card early and I'm willing to pay partially in cash and the rest could be pictures of me and the Cushman card doing things together(clean things!) like riding a roller coaster,sharing an ice cream float,watching a baseball game and me tucking him in the safe at night. The smiles you get from the pictures would far outweigh the money the card is worth and the knowledge that you made me broke,or even worse,sell off something to get it. I trust you'll make the right decision

Posted By: <b>barrysloate</b><p>Hey John- missed your post. I never had a Cushman before, and can't recall one for sale in a long time, so I'm curious about that one too. Also have an Alcott, Mansfields that could get interesting. We'll see.

Barry Sloate Auctions Now Open for Bidding
 

Posted By: <b>Jay</b><p>Barry--If I am not mistaken, Cushman-Toledo was a team variation found in the 1980s. It was for a long time thought to be a very rare card but many copies have surfaced and it is now, at best, just a scarcer than average card.

Barry Sloate Auctions Now Open for Bidding
 

Posted By: <b>barrysloate</b><p>I know Cushman is not Gibson or Flynn, but I think a number of collectors do still need it. Let's call it a second tier rarity.

Posted By: <b>Jay</b><p>Barry--Cushman is slightly more common than the average spotted tie. That's a far stretch from Gibson or Flynn.

Posted By: <b>Dan Bretta</b><p>Okay, got a question that's probably been answered a million times, but here goes...lot 91 is listed as "Harry McIntyre" when it is clearly "Matty McIntyre"....the card doesn't say "Harry" on it anywhere so why did PSA slab this as "Harry"?

Barry Sloate Auctions Now Open for Bidding
 

Posted By: <b>barrysloate</b><p>Wow, even I didn't know it was mislabeled. I think any time two contemporary players share a last name, there is a chance for this kind of error. How did Irv Young get confused with Cy Young, or Larry Doyle with Joe?<br /><br />For that matter, look at lot #112. How does Miller Huggins get confused with Harry Howell (not a good day for Harrys).

Barry Sloate Auctions Now Open for Bidding
 

Posted By: <b>Dan Bretta</b><p>In this case I don't think it's necessarily PSA's fault as it's listed as Harry McIntyre in one of my old SCD's and even VCP (who has it listed correctly as a Matty McIntyre card) has this card listed as "Harry on the card" which I don't understand because the Ramly's don't have first names anywhere on the card.

Barry Sloate Auctions Now Open for Bidding
 

Posted By: <b>barrysloate</b><p>Harry was a pitcher for Brooklyn and I think Chicago, and both McIntyre's are in the T205 and T206 set. So PSA should have labeled it Matty, who played outfield for Detroit (I've already corrected it on my website).

Barry Sloate Auctions Now Open for Bidding
 

Posted By: <b>Dan Bretta</b><p>Barry, you and I would know that, but the person that grades thousands of ballplayer cards probably just looks at the checklist and I'm guessing when this got slabbed the checklist said "Harry McIntyre".

Barry Sloate Auctions Now Open for Bidding
 

Posted By: <b>barrysloate</b><p>Absolutely correct (even though I blew the call). But that was my original point earler in the thread- that a printer/designer would not know the players either, thus picturing Irv Young on an E97 and calling it Cy Young.<br /><br />PSA should have at least known that Harry McIntyre is not in the T204 set. Do the graders have easy access to set checklists? That would be a useful tool.

Posted By: <b>barrysloate</b><p>Leon- which word is misspelled? "Desirable" is correct. I must be missing something.<br /><br />Chris- thanks, I will fix that. Again, confusion with same last name.<br /><br />Anthony- that M116 Cobb is like folk art. I think it's a cool piece, just not super valuable.<br /><br />Edited to add: Leon, I think you mean I got "Heilmann" wrong, but I believe he did spell it with two "n's", and the card and label are wrong. Anybody know for sure?<br /><br />And Dave: 10:00 AM Thursday<br />

Posted By: <b>Bill Heitman</b><p>I want to clarify my earlier comment. It was not meant in a demeaning way. Over the years. I sometimes have thought that I had an unbelievable amount of cards. And then I'd do a buying trip or place a classified ad in some far away city--and I was always amazed at how much was really out there and how little I actually had. One person's collection is really very little compared to everything that's out there. I'm amazed at what people have and I appreciate how little it actually is.
