I have at least a baker's dozen or so of Lionel Carter Collection cards and
no Harris.
Several years ago, before the death of Mr. Carter, we had quite a few threads dealing with our deepest respect for this fine gentleman. I bought and
continue to buy cards from his collection with no concern for what the holders may or may not be. Jeff L's keen Emory eye for these things continues!
all the best,
barry

Barry- I meant no disrespect, sorry.

I did not think any disrespect was intentional,kevin.
thank you for your kind response.
I remember these old times on the board before and during the period
of the theft of some of Mr. Carter's collection, his subsequent decision to
put his collection up for sale, his 90th birthday, and his death not long
after.

all the best, Kevin

Many of the Harris cards came from the Copeland collection. Copeland was one of the first guys to pay big bucks for cherry cards. As most folks know scores of dealers took advantage of this and really took Copeland to the cleaners with scores of hacked cards.

It think this is why folks look at them the way they do.
