No, I’m not selling my collection.

[Howe’s Hunter]

I’ve know for a couple weeks now that this lot would be showing up in a Goldin auction soon.

Steve Lucas reached out to me a couple weeks ago saying they had a bunch of Howe’s cards that had come in as part of a larger collection.

That collection was the “find” that showed up just before the National of more than 6,000 T206s. Turns out 950 of them have Howe’s stamp. From what Steve was able to tell me, the family says the gentleman who they belonged to purchased them around 1972, which fits the timeline of what Howe’a daughters friend, who saw Howe’s complete collection several times had told me. Howe sold most between 1969 and 1972.

Steve let me know a few details and I appreciate the heads up. But a collection in this condition, and just the sheer number of cards is way above my pay-grade as a low-level state employee.

I’m keeping the 393 I’ve been able to acquire since taking on rebuilding the collection full time in 2007. Just in a couple weeks, someone will have a bigger chunk of the collection.

Guess I’m glad I bought the URL howemccormickcollection years ago.

Good luck to anyone bidding and thanks to all on this board for your support through the years.

Hopefully some of these can find their way to you as well.

I'm down for some crowd funding on this one Ed, we have to keep you in the lead. Set up a go fund me and I'll contribute. Plus I would love to have a Howes E-card.

Wow, 950 cards. Are they going to list them one by one, in small groups, or the whole thing in one lot? I know I've chipped in a card or 2, but I won't be able to chip in 950 cards. Hopefully a few or more go your way.

How can I find out if there's T206 Taylor with Howe's stamp?

[Howe’s Hunter]

I had asked if it might be possible to get front and back scans of all before the auction, but that’s really an impracticality just because of the sheer volume.

I have no Dummy Taylors in the 393 I have, but Goldin says to contact them with questions …
