Default ID for Cap Anson Card...

Posted By: Julie Vognar

But I'd say the stain is a definite drawback (because it's the BACK, not the front, that gets pasted in the scrapbook). Ideally, no stain, front or back, all the embossing shows, front and back, no paper residue, front or back--and I've seen about 3 of these, none of which were for sale.

Depends on how bad you want the card. I just recently won a Scrapps O'Neill (lots of bidding, but card went for 319.00)), with a show-through stain on neck and bottom of face--I'd been collecting Scrapps for 13 years, and never gotten an O'Neill! I just got tired of waiting. But I thought the price was fair. (What does it list for, $1000, and a tough card to find?)

Even real nice Scrapps seldon go for what they list for--most people don't like them. Too weird. They're often in auctions. Thompson's hard to find. You did O.K.
