In the next couple of weeks, there are two auctions with fairly large lots of Howe McCormick stamped cards. While I wouldn’t be able to bid and win on lots that large, I would like to contact the winner of either or both lots, if they happen to be members of this board. There is a total of eight cards from the two lots that would fill holes in my quest to now build a complete T206 set of cards with Howe’s stamp on the back.
In a Huggins and Scott auction that begins July 21, there is ….

From that lot, two cards – Gray and Mowrey – I would be very interested in. There are two Mowrey’s in the lot, so it would be like getting rid of a dupe for the winner.
In the upcoming REA Summer Auction, lot 403 has 47 Howe-stamped cards.
Of those - Carr, Fiene/portrait, Lord, Mullen, Murphy/batting, and J Tannehill, Washington - would be the ones I am interested in obtaining.
As always, thanks to everyone on the board for the help the past 16 years in first trying to rebuild Howe’s collection, and then refining that when we found out exactly now large it was. If you happen to be a winner of either of these lots, congratulations, and I hope to hear from you.
