I saw that yesterday...what an incredible find.

Brooklyn Atlantics
 

Does anyone know what color their uniforms were? I haven't been able to find a color photo of the Atlantics in my research. I purchased a ball cap(pill box) that is red and white with a red A the same as on the uniforms from this card.
My cap is made of wool, with a leather lining on the inside also with some red bleeding into the white, it is old but i think maybe it is a reproduction.

I saw this yesterday and my first thought was that it is Interesting that the creighton was not part of the find

I thought of that too David, but I don't think the fact that Creighton is missing means anything. It's a great find, especially the Atlantics. That's the plum of the group.

Some are so obviously trimmed that I'd be happy to take those "rags" off their hands for cheap...

Now with the snarkiness out of the way, a serious question.

On something like the Atlantic 9 card, does condition really even matter if it's new to the hobby? I would imagine the answer is no, but wondered what impact that might have on the bidding. I realize time will tell, but thought I'd ask anyway.

Great stuff!

Bill

Great stuff. Some neat boxing CDV's buried in there to.

Yes saw those David. Nicest one is the C.D. Fredricks of Heenan.

Bill- there are only a few known Atlantics, and they are all trimmed. I have never heard of an untrimmed one. And the condition of this new one is as nice as any of the others. Might even be the best.

Nice group of cards.What a find!
