T207 Red Cross Find of 6 Cards Including Lowdermilk

[canjond]

Completely new to the hobby. Here's the story from the gentleman who owns them:

"I got these cards in Baton Rouge ~ 1940 from my grandmother's storage/attic whatever. They came from my uncle who died in ~ 1936. They were in my mothers attic, she died in 1992 and I found them again after those years. I do plan to put in auction or something. I'm 81 yrs old and not a collector."

Apparently there are 90 additional cards in the find. Wonder if there are any Kottons, Minos, etc?

Wow a Lowdermilk T207 Red Cross. This about doubles the number of know Red Cross backs with this find, doesn't it?

That's a monumental find, as not only are the cards rare, but the first non-Chicago player has been found.

And it's six new ones, not five.

I hope they pop up in an auction soon. I'd love to have one of those Red Cross backs although I am sure the Lowdermilk will go through the roof!
