So I suspect it’s possible that we’ll learn more in the future, although considering how much I have tied up in this one, I hope that there’s not a gigantic stash of a few thousand that will come out from someone’s secret hidden supply.

I have found that the best way to make more of a card appear, is to pay high end of market for a copy of that card. Works for me every time!

Definitely seems like a pretty solid inducement to flush out previously undiscovered specimens. The SGC version sold around a year or so ago for $100k+. So if they’re out there, I would expect them to come out at that price point. But maybe they’re waiting for 7 figures before they leak out.

When I reentered the hobby in the mid 90's, I decided to focus on pre-war and Cracker Jacks in particular, since I knew, like so many, they were popular, held their value or appreciated over time and were so damn attractive compared to other E cards.

So I picked up a bunch, all raw because grading companies were just entering the picture, and reasonable, dirt cheap by today's standard. I decide to keep two of the same player because to me he represented the essence of the dead ball era, and that would be Fred Clarke. I still have both the '14 and '15 in my PC

A great player/manger who played and managed tough. Perched on some bats, looking out at the horizon for answers how to get the Pirates out of their slump.
Tough on the testicles, though.

Not sure this is my precious, but this is definitely one of favorites

Hard to beat a card of Moonlight Graham. Can’t be too many of those out there. That has to be one of the best postcards out there.
