"I sell some cards through one of the last existing card shops in my area and there is a elderly gentleman that brings some vintage in from time to time. We became friendly and he showed me some of his private collection with time I was able to purchase my first card a Ruth strip in amazing condition but it came with a catch he would only sell me that card if I bought the Cobb from the same series in the same condition. From then on he let me pay with payments and I have gotten some amazing pieces like a small black and white hand tinted Ruth/ Gehrig tobacco that only one other has ever been seen at auction. Anyways these two he had (Anson/King) and I fell I love with them it took me 5 months to pay him for these so yes I am very surprised to hear that a similar card went for so little." Meanwhile, here's the link to the completed ebay item for the card that he won last month. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1888-Goodwin...item19dd54dce6 Last edited by Gobucsmagic74; 07-21-2013 at 11:33 AM.

Sounds like both the elderly gentleman and the card shop owner knew little to nothing about the set.

goodwin had an "outpost"
in austrailia at an interesting time in card production history. My N162 album came to me by way of austrailia and I bought a few "footballers" and other goodwin related items that were available during that time period....

What's the world coming too when you can’t take the word of guy named "Tbags” when it comes to provenance on something of value?
 I guess the “Old Man” was in Australia yet it took 5 mos. to pay him on the eBay sale…must have sent the payment by tramp steamer.
