Hardly on topic but my 7 yr old little girl finally slept in her OWN bed last night for the first time. As all of you parents know that is a wonderful thing. Back to topic......the "find" from N.California that had seemingly run away never to be heard from again emailed me on Christmas day. He said he wanted to sell 100 more cards. I immediately emailed and said "ok which ones and how much?" I think that question messed him all up so after 4 days of not hearing back I called him. Yesterday I overnighted him a check for 416 cards.......they should be (and I use that term on purpose)

16 small Pacific coast ones ( D311's )

47 Obak "red backs"....(I would think 1911's)

35 Obak "blue print backs" (my guess is 09's and '10's)

1 caramel (who knows...anyone but Cobb, Wagner, or Weaver is a common to him ? )

3 Old Mill (my guess is T210 but could be T206)

1 T206 Cobby Sweet Cap.....in PR condition..( remember he only knows Wagner, Cobb, and Weaver) and I had to pay more for this one

11 large Pacific Coast ones ( I would think D310)

170 Zeenuts with dark fronts (my guess is '11's and mostly '12's)

132 mixed bag of poor cards...( God only knows....I do know there should be at least 1 beat up T217 and one rat-eaten T4).........this is the potentially most exciting though....who knows what this could be?? kinda rollin' the dice as I did pay him decent money for the whole group...also think the group will not be in quite as good of condition as the rest I have gotten.

I should have them in the next 2-3 days and will give an update...... all he still has is the Colgans and Zeenuts w/o coupons (my guess is 100-200 cards).....I tried to get those too but it confused him too much.......just thought I would post something mildly interesting so we can get off of some of the other subjects for a minute.......breast regards (for you Jay B.)
