Here in Portland , it is all over the news TV Radio Papers I went to my homepage this morning on Yahoo and it was the lead story---I believe most of the serious collectors know about this auction coming up---I will be there and hopefully can snag a Ty Cobb card but it will not be easy going to be some high prices anyway I look forward to it just wish it wasnt 4 months away Good Luck to all----Don

Wowwwwwww.

You are beyond fortunate to be consigned a find like this.

Congratulations!

Any chance you have some Brown Hindu portraits of the Big Train and Cy Young for us boys to fight over?

WOW What a amazing find/hoard really makes me wonder how many other collections are out there like this just waiting to see the light of day. I live in a city with a lot of pre-turn of the century homes, every now and then, when I'm walking by them I wonder what might be hiding in the walls, attic's and crawl spaces... Really interested in what T205's were in this collection as well as their condition?

Ralph, the only way to know is to start sneaking into people's houses when they are away, tearing out walls and looking around. I bet if you do that to 100 houses, you'll find something. You could also be in the news.
