Those who dealt with Frank will remember his primitive, but very effective packaging. Heavy cardboard wrapped with butcher paper & string. Frank chain smoked & the aroma would last for days in my P.O. Box. Very pleasant, honest, generous and knowledgeable individual to deal with

I'm wondering why so many "AUT" cards - did he trim a lot of his cards?

Cool thread! Nice to see the man was an asset to the hobby. I feel
fortunate to have one of his old cards in my collection, and it's one of
my favorites. The card didn't move too far, as I'm only 50 miles away
from Grosse Ile.

As a wise man once said (to paraphrase)... we don't own these cards,
we just hold onto them for the next guy to enjoy.

Blair- I've wondered the same thing, he had an awful lot of pre-war cards that were trimmed. I am speculating that back in the day condition was not paramount, it was all about acquiring what you didn't have. There was no ebay or internet auctions so finding them was tougher. Also I seem to remember that many collectors trimmed down caramel cards so they fit in those T206ish holders, never dreaming what they would one day be worth. Even Lionel Carter who had immaculate and spectacular cards post war had a lot of authentic cards from the pre-World War I era.
