Ted ZanidakisInteresting post, it brings back many memories of buying cards from Frank Nagy.
If I can find some of Frank's monthly mail auctions and the nice notes he included with the cards I won,
I'll post them. I won a "ton" of cards from Frank from 1980 to 1994, he offered cards in all conditions;
but, when he advertised them as near mint....you could shave with them (they were that sharp).
In the early days, I aquired ExMt T-cards from him for $4 apiece, or Goudey's and PlayBall's for $5 apiece,
or even 1949 Leaf BB Scarce #s for $20 apiece (these cards go for $600-$1000, nowadays).
Obviously this was during the "pre-plastics" era....but, there was never, ever any concerns regarding
Frank's cards.
A true gentleman and one of the greatest guys this hobby has ever known.
