Pre-War card find in Montana

[conor912]

The phrases "obviously knew what he was doing" and "placing rubber bands around them" seem mispaired.

Look forward to seeing them as well. Don't really care about the written words just the card beauty.

This shop owner must only deal with new stuff, like most shop owners now days. To maximize profits why would you send vintage cards to Beckett? Also who would call '33 Goudey's as a "rare brand of card"? Then to top it off he can't distinguish between a 1914 and 1915 Cracker Jack, instead lumps them as one grouping (or at least that is how I read that part since they don't distinguish what year the Jackson is from).

And I was thinking about the Beckett line when i read the story. Remember that Beckett still has very good equity as a hobby name and not all store owners are even aware of PSA or SGC. Thus the owner knew Beckett had a grading service and sent in cards accordingly.

Really? Some store owners have never heard of PSA or SGC? I hope they have at least heard of the internet.

Well, it wouldn't surprise me with the guy in the article. He apparently hasn't heard of any Babe Ruth cards before the '33 Goudey..

In part, he may have been making it simple for the reporter and readers who know little about cards. And reporters have been known to paraphrase from memory.
