UK OJs
John, Jim B, et al.
Thank you! It was and is a pleasure to see these cards survive in this condition. There are certainly many other good looking OJs, some being in your collections, but always nice to see the population grow. On average, it seems that the cards that have been cared for by the British have fared better than those here in the States. Unfortunately, not many have been cared for by the Brits. I do wonder when these cards found their way to Britain. Was a British collector responsible for the cards crossing the Atlantic or did Goodwin send a small number of cards in their export products? I suspect a collector was responsible for the cards crossing the Atlantic shortly after they were produced. Interestingly, all but one card from the grouping of ten were from 1889, the lone exception being Radbourne's 1887 card which had a little more wear on it (but still beautiful). I bid on what I felt were the highest graded examples, especially those with a healthy border size. I won each one I bid on except the final card, Swartzel, as my total bill was adding up quickly and I wasn't 100% comfortable with buying outside the US. Congrats to those who won the other five examples, they were all good buys.

I can't beat those Old Judges that Joe picked up, but I did grab a nice item this week...my first (and only) Honus Wagner card!
It's a 1909 R.W. Johnston Studios Triple-Fold PC (postally used in 1909). When fully expanded, the PC width is too large for my scanner, so I showed only two of the panels (one of which includes Wagner, third from end).
