I was the very last person to cash out at this auction; and, while I was waiting for my wife to arrive to pick me up I had a nice conversation with Blaine.
He certainly is one cool guy....and, with a great sense of humor.
He noted that I won quite a number of Tobacco cards. I remarked that I was very pleased with the auction. And especially, these 10 cards.....I showed
him 10 of the 12 cards pictured here (minus the McGraw & Gandil, which I already had). I explained to Blaine that the Tobacco advertising backs (Sweet
Caporal 460, Factory #42) on these 10 cards are tough to find. Furthermore, finding all 10 cards (that I needed) in the same collection is virtually impos-
sible. I certainly was one very happy dude that frigid icy day.
