Harrisonburg Collector Completes T206 set (INCLUDING Wagner)

[iggyman]

Hot of the press, Norman B. Good completes the monster!

All 552 cards. Nicely displayed too (although the pic shows T204's and T212's(?) in the background). Pure speculation on my part, but he probably overpaid for the T206 Wagner and Plank cards. Oh well, I guess some things never change.

I might have imagined this, but I could have sworn I've seen some T206 back stamps with the name "Norman B. Goode"???



Lovely Day...

those are some HUGE borders on the Wagner and Plank cards!

must be factory proofs or something

It mentions baseball cards with Hustler backs. Is this the origin, or an extension of the myth?

I think I've seen a back stamp with Goode on it as well. Or maybe we shared the same dream?

Good question! This article was printed on April 30th 1950 and implied that Norman had Hustler backs. We will never know the turth, but that sure does create some nice speculation.

I think it is an extension of the myth. Hustler is listed in the first edition of the ACC. Uzit is also spelled "Usit" in there, as it is in the article. I am guessing the author of the article just pulled some names of brands from ACC.

P.S. Thanks for posting this.
