I am disappointed in how the listing implies it’s my collection for sale.
The reference to a modern collector, using the internet and phone calls and contacts to rebuild this collect.
The collection for sale was more than likely purchased at one time in the early 70s. The family that consigned the cards admitted that is when the gentleman bought them. Long before the internet, or calling and making contacts to acquire them.
I had previously made contact with and purchased cards from a gentleman who bought an almost complete collection of the Cleveland cards from a Wirt Gammon (not sure if the name now), a card dealer in Florida in 1972. Again, that would make sense and follows the timeline that they were purchased around that time in one group.
Interestingly, I know Howe had five Cobb cards (two green backs, one each of the others), but none in this collection, unless Goldin is holding on to any others to get them graded and sold individually.
