Default Question about Herpolsheimer's 1921 cards

Posted By: fkw

My theory...... they were first discovered in the 1970's and put into a garage sale or flea market and thats were the penciled "$" price mark on back came from. The other 11 missing cards were either sold then (or maybe some didnt make it through the years and were lost). The cards that didnt sell in this garage sale were then put back away for another 30 years or so until being rediscovered a couple years ago in the eBay era (easy to sell) and then to the hobby.

BTW 2 of the 11 Ive owned didnt have any pencil price on the back.
