Patrick McMenemyI originally owned a George Gibson D322 that had 2 creases that divided the card into 4 equal sections. It came from one of the hobbies' greatest dealers. When it arrived, and I saw the creases, I was truly disappointed. It had been advertised as being in very good condition.
I set out to replace that sad example with the best example I could find, since I loved the card's design and colors. It took me more than 5 years to find a decent looking George Gibson D322 again. Shortly after I began reading the old "Full Count" message board, one of the regular posters mentioned in a thread that he had accidentally won a lot of 1910 Tip Top Bread cards. I was fortunate enough to be able to trade a Gabby Street T206 (catching) card that was a partial color scrap to that gentleman. That gentleman was Doug Allen, who was just about to begin a new job in the industry.
This card has been the centerpiece of my collection ever since it arrived from Chicago.
I would love to see that old creased George Gibson if someone has it.
