We Didn't Start the Fire....Yada Yada Yada
 

On a slow Friday night with no Strassberg news/threads to report and since my wife didn't seem all that thrilled with Frank Nagy's near divorce.....nor the part about the $1,000 Wagner....nor the mistreatment of Burbicks collection....nor a new Feller find......and not even the fact that some Michigan dude was willing to pay above book value for Kellogg cards. Thus, because of my wife's indifference; I figured I would share this old 1971 article about baseball cards!

I copied it the best I could, but ended-up with three somewhat readable files.....

LOVELY DAY...

Thanks for posting. Enjoyed the read.

Very interesting look in to the past, thanks for sharing.

thanks...Corson
 

Thanks Iggy....and we should all know it was Walt Corson they were speaking about, that was ill, and Nagy went to see to buy the collection. Here is what I believe is Walt Corson's personal "American Book of Checklists"- (Bray) 1950.....regards

First time I ever saw a copy of The American Book of Checklists-thanks for posting Leon!

Very nice checklist Leon (I'm jealous). I didn't realize it was Walt Corson's collection that was referenced in the article. I found this old Net54 post, which references a letter written by Nagy.

Goodness gracious! Walt must have had an incredible collection!!! Let me get this straight, Nagy purchased 400,000 cards in 1966 from Walt. Yet, check-out this quote in the letter by Nagy...."By the time I had the opportunity to get his collection many of his cards were sold..... "

Lovely Day...
