January Pickups

[Brian Van Horn]

Brian,

Here is what I have been able to decipher from the back of the card:

"Most prominent movie actors and actresses in the country. We have made up an album which will hold the complete (obliterated) On receipt of 15 cents (obliterated) will send a blank album to any address in the United States.

Then on the last line it seems to indicate "Confectionery Company."

I spoke with one member and am in the process of contacting another on this card. The one member indicated an eBay lot which has the exact same wording on the back with the exception of the "confectionery" part.

Here is the link (yes, I bought the other item as well):

Chris - that's awesome! I think I had about 9 diff. M101-6's in the 90's before I gave up. I just couldn't take not adding to my collection for like 2 years.
Congrats on having nerves of steel!

Good job Chris--way to take them out of circulation for the rest of us

Tony, I still have the m101-6 Sisler you sold me more than 9 years ago. Should have jumped on the Collins then too

That's cool to hear that you still have it. Nice to know it's in a safe place! Post a photo sometime, I'd like to see it again. I don't even remember which ones I had it's so long ago

Thanks for the kind words everyone - it can be an excruciating set to try and find examples from. Only good thing about their scarcity is that the droughts keep me from going broke!

Got a 2nd chance on this E90-1 Cobb and pulled the trigger, after having it offered (at same price) about 2 years back. I've never been centering obsessed, which is good for this one... now just hope those 1908 rumors end up being true

[Vintagecatcher]

Honored to add this upgrade to my collection that was once owned by Lionel Carter.

Those are beautiful. When I see pictures like this, I so badly want to start collecting this set, one by one.

[MikeGarcia]

.... Dilemma : but I still love the rattys..... logic dictates that I bite the bullet , cull the herd , and sell the what-are-now-dupes......but we all know that ain't gonna happen anytime soon... ah well they don't take up much space and the memories of originally obtaining them - priceless.


....the only people that understand this situation are all in here...

I posted this Dockman Tinker earlier in the thread when it was raw. Just picked it up from Beckett today. Only 4 PSA and 1 SCG graded higher, so I was happy.
