Not claiming any or all the Hamric's 3x5s currently listed for sale previously resided in my vintage autograph collection before I sold it back in 2022. But I accumulated 10-12 Hamric items over 25+ years of collection. And key to that count was the opportunity to meet and regularly deal with super collector James Grant MacAlister. He provided me with several 3x5s and the only signed personal Hamric check that I have encountered over those years. I often wonder if there are any remaining collectors with collections of the magnitude of JMG whose items have yet to see the light of day again. Jack Smalling use to be in that camp but he since sold his collection afew years ago, via Heritage Auctions I believe.

JGM also provided me with a quantity of Duke Maas 3x5s over the years. I sold/traded several of those 3x5s to vintage autograph dealer Ron Gordon at an early 2000's National Show. The rest were sold with my collection. Curious as to whether those have made it out into the marketplace.
