Hello All,
A quick introduction, my name is Greg Capps and I am the Coin, Currency, and Sports Memorabilia Specialist at Brunk Auctions in scenic Asheville, North Carolina. I came up collecting in the 1980s with Don Mattingly and Dale Murphy being among my favorites to watch. Like many of us, I worked at a card shop in the 1990s "junk wax" era, when shops could be found on almost every corner of any well-populated town.
Fast forward to today and I am bringing a nice "Olde Tyme" collection of tobacco and gum cards, ranging from 1910 to 1975. These were collected prior to 1983 and until recently had not seen the inside of a grading slab. Many others in the collection remain raw to this day - giving the new owner the choice of whether to 'send off' or to enjoy the cards in their natural state.
The highlight would have to be the MAGIE spelling error (Lot 24)

but other high grade tobacco cards include multiple Cobbs (Lots 36-39)

a visually appealing 1952 Topps Pafko (Lot 170)

and multiple Babe Ruth signed baseballs, JSA authenticated (Lots 9 & 17)

I'm sure you will find something to scratch that collecting itch of yours!
