There were 51 Rose Co. cards, with 50 different. The average condition was very good.
Chicago (AL) - Altrock, Jones, Donohue, Parent, Anderson; Cincinnati (NL) - Lobert, McLean, Mitchell, Ewing, Weimer, Hulswitt, Coakley, Mowery; Boston (AL) - Wagner, Hale, Lord, Pruiett, Winter; Washington (AL) - F. Delehanty, McBride, Milan, Freeman; Athletics (AL) - Schreck, Oldring, Dygert; Philadelphia (NL) - Magee, Sparks, Grant, Bransfield; New York (AL) - Orth (2), Hemphill, Glade, Newton; St. Louis (NL) Beebe, Karger, O'Rourke; St. Louis (AL) - Stone, Jones, Howell, Powell, Williams; Cleveland (AL) - Bradley, Leibhardt, Rhoades; Boston (NL) - Ritchey, Beaumont, Brown; Brooklyn (NL) - McIntire, Maloney; Deteroit (AL) - Schmidt.

In addition to the Rose Co. postcards, I purchased A.C. Dietsche postcards of the Michigan football (15 diff.) Detroit Tigers, Series I and Series II (28 in all) and Chicago Cubs (15). There were also 11 different 1908 Wolverine News postcards plus 3 from H.M. Taylor.
There were also 50 PT-3 pins, 7 Buster Brown Detroit Tigers pins including Cobb and 4 PB-3 Morton's Pennant Winners pins including Cobb.
The coin store dealer wanted $400 and said he wouldn't take a penny less. I couldn't get my credit card out fast enough. All of this great buy is long gone, but will always be remembered.

Those were the good old days Nick . Lots of deals in those days. Joe
