Barry -- if you press the control and + button on your keyboard at the same time [command and the + button if you're on a Mac] you can zoom the screen larger. The image blurs a bit but it'll grow and is still plenty readable. You can use Control and - to zoom out again and control + 0 (control button and zero) to return to your regular zoom level when you're done.


Regards,

Richard.

Just for you Barry. Is that better?

[barrysloate]

Thanks Leon, and Richard too. Now I will read it.

[barrysloate]

Glad I read it. Now if the set was still referred to as 521 in 1945, do we know the year, or even the precise date, when Burdick renamed it T206?

Leon,

Where can I view this entire letter. It is great information.

Thanks,

[Leon]

Here is another page.....Love the pricing of cards...

15lbs for $1.65...OH my GOD!

What kind of fool would buy that Leon you and I both know we've been getting 15lbs bags for the $1.07 range for years now.

Cheers,

John

I would have only offered up to $1.28 for 15lbs. I think this included shipping though .

ps...and I love the exact science of "one scoop shovel to a sack, about 15 lbs"

I wonder if the old copper coins he hoarded were large cents?

I also found it interesting that even way back when collectors figured out that by buying large groups they could not only complete sets but also upgrade their cards and sell off the duplicates. That hasn't changed and never will.

That's excellent !!!

Leon- do you know what cards he is refering to when he says "coffee cards"?

Thanks-

Clayton
