Julie VognarI wrongly contributed to the "card show from nowhere" thread that Mark Macrae was only doing a Thanksgiving show this year because of the national. HE'S ALSO HAVING ONE THE 26th OF JUNE. As he just pointed out to me in no uncertain terms (one of them there lurkers, you know).
Mark has stuff from virtually every decade, and specializes in California stuff for his own collection (which isn't to say that he doesn't collect almost everything else). Many unslabbed as well as some slabbed cards can be found at his show at St. Leander's Church, San Leandro, CA, across from the Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) station in San leandro--just south of Oakland and across the bay from San Francisco.
I have personally bought from him (these just come to mind) : a T206 Plank, a 1885 Harper's Woodcut of "The Baseball Champions of 1885," (12 individual portraits--a big one)a W504 Ruth, many Colgans of all kinds, a Texas Tommy Mack, a Cleveland Fatima, a T206 McGraw with sweater, and from others at his show, a signed photo of Roy--gorgeous, and a rookie Lemieux, a Batter-Up Greenberg (mint) and a Lawrie's catcher (1884), a 1997 Calbee Matsui, many T202s from John Spaulding (now retired), photos of Jackie Robinson, "The Glory of Their Times,"--lots more of course.
