T205 Set and More at My National Booth
 

If you jump to the Non Sports listing, you will find a listing of my new non sports acquisitions during 2010 which I will have at Booth 125P at the Baltimore National next week. Some of my new sports items include:

1- T205 set -- it's a great looking set that you can buy ungraded from me for grading. Check it out -- you will be surprised.

2- Best condition graded Toleteros -- Easter, Wilson, Perez, Collins, Fields, Easterling and more

3- Gorgeous graded Venezuelan Spahn. Many (Over 100) more Cuban rare older cards.

4- Japanese Kabaya Leaf graded and ungraded. Many other earleir Japanese cards.

5- Johnston Cookies unopened.

6- 50+ Unopened 1964 Standups packs -- stars showing Mantle, Clemente, Aaaron; Semistars - Boyer, Cepeda, Groat, etc.; Most single prints

7- Uncut 1941 Play Ball sheet 8 cards -- 6 are high numbers; 2 of those are stars -- Chuck Klein -- stunning condition.

8- Just picked up 1948-49 Leaf cards

9- Check out my T205's (over 200), T 206's (over 500), T210's (over 50, many Old Mill Series 8's), and many other early tobacco cards. I also now have 3 stunning Sawyer Biscuit cards.

10- Almost Forgot -- 1955 and 1960 Amour Coins -- many rare colors -- including light orange/peach Snider, lime green Snider, Yellow Snider, Black Snider, and more.

RARE Daley 1960 coin in a 1 of 1 color [/COLOR]-- PSA graded -- come see it on display -- but it is for sale.

Just too much to remember--

Steve,

Nice talking with you on the phone.

Looking forward to your email.

I posted the following at the Non sport site but it mostly relates to my baseball tobacco cards. Thanks and if you are as honest as I am then this should not offend you in any way. If not, such is life!

I would love to hear from some tobacco card dealers about their experiences as well.

National Dealers: How do you protect against Theft?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I've done 27 of the National shows and have noticed a large jump in people stealing things in the past few years as the economy went sour. Last year, I also only accepted checks from people who left the merchandise with me for future delivery--they paid the shipping and insurance. This years it's cash - or -checks with merchandise held -- no exceptions. Truthfully, most customers are fine with that.

This year, I have talked with my partner Mitch and we are also instituting a new policy: We will only help one customer each at a time. If we have merchandise from the showcase out for one customer, we will not help another customer until the finish of the current transaction. We will also not be handing large stacks of cards to anyone throughout the show. We will be limiting the number of cards that we remove from our showcases to 20 cards each in a stack that we provide to customers to review. We will be making sure that we get all 20 cards back.

My big beef is not with the non sports dealers or customers, my main beef is with some of the sports card dealers themselves (and some of their customers). In particular, the Tobacco card entusiasts. Without going into too much detail, they are very good at palming cards that they move to the top or bottom of the stack. I also know who they are -- so I'll be on alert for them. But there are many more from where they come from.

Anyone have any better ideas? How do you protect against theft from your booth at a large show such as the National?
