Default Tango eggs

Brian Daniels is the Expert on these. If I remember right he was one of the first to handle the "discovery" back in the early 90's. The Jennings along with the Bescher are the most common. I believe there are a couple hundred Jennings known, far more than the 20 the price guides have noted. I have handled at least 6-7 different Jennings over the years.

Below is an original SCD ad Mr Mint had printed on June, 12, 1992 right after the discovery. It was a scam, he made the ad just to see what the demand would be on the cards. If I remember right he didnt even own them yet at the time. I called right away and wanted to buy one of each but he said they were all sold.

An unusual note, many think these cards were not known until the hoard was discovered, but back in the late 90s I owned one that was beat up and worn with many creases and rounded corners. I bought it from a lady in Louisiana. I wish I still had it, it proved the cards were out there but extremely rare before the discovery.
