This was a big purchase I made yesterday. It included a few Old Judge, Allen and Ginter, and an E107 Baseball cards. Some tobacco cigar and cigarette packs and a tobacco tin. And a load of Allen and Ginter N28 cards of Billiards, Rowing, American Indians plus a lot of other non sport cards from the tobacco era.
The store owner called me because someone came in with this load of cards in the pictured tobacco tin. He usually calls me to help ID this older stuff along with an approximate value so he knows what to offer. By the time I got there he already made an offer and the lady accepted. She should have waited for me to get there because she got only a fraction of what she should have gotten. It did not help when she had the few baseball A&G's mixed in with the billiard players. Anyway, I bought the 8 of 10 baseball cards he had. The following day I went back to make an offer of the other 2 baseball cards and while negotiating I ended up buying the entire lot. So.......
