But, not to long ago someone on the board brought up an auction that was being held in Kansas. Living in Ohio I obviously couldn't go. But, lucky for me my brother lived only 1/2 hour from the auction house and he went for me. Sad to say that my brother doesn't know about vintage baseball cards, but he did manage to buy 13 Pinkerton postcards that included a Matty, 2 Evers cards, Lajoie, Baker, I think Collins and the rest were commons. Set my brother back $25 for all of them. I guess the auction was filled with pre-war cards, but he didn't buy any because he didn't know what he was looking at. While talking to him on the phone after the auction he said that the place had about 100 unopened packs of Plow Boy tobacco. Had a ton of other Pinkerton cards as well, but they were mixed in with other things. I sure wish I could have been there - but that is just my luck. I can't complain too much since I did manage to get something out of the deal.
