Help with a dealer needed

Hi,
Has anybody dealt with Frank Ward of FKW Century Old Cards? I emailed him a couple of times because I am interested in a couple of cards that he has for sale. He has yet to get back to me (it has only been a couple of days). I am only impatient because I lose out so often on 19th century material I am afraid he will sell them. Does he usually respond quickly?

Frank Ward is an A+ guy and an A+ dealer. If he hasn't responded - there is a reason. Give him time - you won't regret it.

Thanks everybody for the posts. Frank got back to me (as soon as he was able to) and I ordered a Tobin Lithograph card of Tim Keefe from him. I was very happy with his responses, description of the card and scan. I am really excited about receiving this card as it is my first 19th century card.

Very significant" Where'll you have it?" because after that year, a batter could no longer ask for a "High one," or a "low one."

a bit rough, but I guess that's O.K. If you want a nice one, check out Verkman's catalogue.

If you see an item on his site that interests you, I wouldn't get too excited - last time I looked (not that I do it often), a card I picked up close to a year ago from someone else was still advertised on his site, with a price tag.

Julie: Did you buy the Anson he graded as NREX? I thought that card looked pretty good on the scan. Thanks for the tip on Verkman's Anson. I have only dealt with him once and it went okay but I do hear plenty of negative comments about him. Who is Terry Knouse and does he sell a lot of 19th century material?
I was thinking of getting the Buchner card of Brouthers from Frank plus a card of Keeler but I will probably wait until I get the Keefe first.

Terry Knouse is the only full time seller of 19th century cards in America. His prices are usually high--he also buys high. He is computer illiterate, advertises regularly in VCBC, goes to the big shows and the good small ones, and his address is:

Terry Knouse
River Street
Wapwallopen, PA, 18660

Oh, if you ever run into him at a show, and see something on his table you want, that you think you could pay for over the period of a year,--that's fine with him.
