Some more 33' Saints...marching in!

This...I find interesting.

Check out this link to a previous REA auction:

I find it interesting that the customer requested certain players including Otto Bluege...who was out of stock at the time...yet to this day the Otto Bluege card is uncatalogued.

... again the sepia-toned photo with the dark areas that fluoresce when tilted into the light ; the other is the standard glossy black and white ..two different graders gave him two different names , no doubt attempting to be helpful ;

...in a perfect world the standard protocol for flips would be whatever is on the card..... I still love that '' Gill'' in this thread from a couple days ago...

[MikeGarcia]

...again , I don't trust the grader's notation 100%....

....without scrapbooks , grampas , and attics , we would have slim pickins on vintage...

...I've seen very few like the Max Carey ; there are a lot like the larger Rube Benton ; Pepper Martin might be aged and faded somewhat or maybe not. Need to see another one for comparison.
...The shorter , wider Rube Benton is the same photograph but not a Worch Cigar issue.... very slightly thinner stock ; but it's big and from the 1930's so I had to have it ; anyone recognize what set it might be from ???
....It would be great if the member with those two fantastic Lefty Groves could post them again , side by side , with a tweak more contrast , so the details are defined and exposed .
Thanks , MikeGarcia
