Posted By: <b>Bob Lemke</b><p>The first group of about 100 of these will go on sale on eBay on Monday for 10 days. Mint Xpress is handling the sale. I have closely examined many of these cards and at arm's length they are gorgeous. It's only when the guys at SCDA got ahold of them under halogen lamps and magnifiers that the factory-created flaws are visible and noted on the slabs. What's really great about these is that they are an original one-owner old collection and have not seen the light of day for over 85 years. For 99% of collectors, even if they buy an SCD 4 VG/EX, it will still be the nicest T206 they have ever owned. I learned a ton about the original printing process and what damage could be caused through my study of these cards. I've got my finger on the "bid" button.

Posted By: <b>Bob Lemke</b><p>David, I've started a column for SCD on the subject; it's too deep to be adequately covered for this message board and I'm current swamped with Standard Catalog work.

Posted By: <b>David</b><p>Bob, thanks for the note. I half-figured it would be material for an SCD article, and realize that we don't pay your salary for you to write articles here. Best wishes

Posted By: <b>Bob Lemke</b><p>They're still scrambling to get the first 120 or so cards posted, but key words will be SCD (not SCDA) and T206 (not T 206 or T-206). Should be up Monday night.

Posted By: <b>Brueso</b><p>There are some beauties. How much do you think Kit Young will snap up for resale to Topps?
