Closed Auction: ebay M116 Wagner

Posted By: JC

I first met Harold about 30 years ago at a coin auction in Chicago. Hard to forget because he was high bidder on nearly every gold coin that came up for sale. Found out he was also a sportscard and autograph collector and later bought an Alexander Cartwright signed calling card from him (he had two of them!) For those who don't know what an old fashioned calling card is, they were an equivalent of the modern business card. Back in the old days, notable persons would leave one signed on your door if you weren't home when they stopped by. Got it authenticated several years ago and then sold it for quite a sum. Have never met the grandson. Harold was a little mysterious. He gave me an address that turned out to be a remailing service when I bought the Cartwright card and that's how we corresponded. Never did find out where he actually lived.
