New to Forum. Old to cardboard

Posted By: Brian Lindholme

Hello all...
I am composing my first post to thank you all for some entertaining and educational content on this forum. Good stuff !
I have a large vintage collection going...a sprinkle of Type Cards along with a bundle of pre-war HOFers (everyone's favorite, I gather). I guess that makes me fit in a bit...but I'm not so sure when I read about the huge prices laid out for graded items in recent auctions. Wow...I am almost thinking that I should send in all my old cards to SCG (see...I'm learning already and then SELL them all for outrageous profit !
Naw...what was I thinking just now? I love these silly pieces of cardboard and I'm gonna keep 'em !
Here's my top 10 highlights & favorites :

A)80% of the T205 set, mostly VG/EX. Mostly ungraded.
B)A playing years card of at least all post-1900 HOFers.
C)E105 Mello-Mint Honus Wagner EX+
D)Uncle Jacks Candy Hack Wilson
E)M116 Walter Johnson
F)1933 DeLong Lefty Grove
G)E105 Mello-Mint Nap Lajoie
H)T3 Willie Keeler
I)1914 Cracker Jack GC Alexander
J)Fan Craze Jack Chesbro

Anyways, a couple of you guys already know me from OBC. To the rest, I bid a hearty hello to. I'll be reading as often as possible. Maybe share a scan or two.
For now,
Brian (familytoad)

Guys, I have a bunch of scans to share, but many of them are bad scans of really nice cards. I'm going to upgrade my scans ! LOL !

Here is one of my favorite cards...I wish I had the $$$ To buy all the Cracker Jack cards as they might be a candidate for most addictive set. I have about 10 cards so I doubt I'll ever pursue the set...unless my redneck retirement plan (two Lotto tickets each paycheck) comes through.


Take care,
Brian
