So there was a 101 yr old NJ man who passed away

[William Todd]

I wonder who smoked all the cigarettes as it probably wasn't the 101 year old. Great find and I will be watching the t207's especially. Good job Leon.

My understanding is the 101 yr old gentleman smoked them as a young man. As for those T207s, I don't want to jinx them, but when I put them under high magnification on the corners there is almost no fuzz ...They will be sent for grading on Monday.......we shall see.

I spoke with the consignor this morning. She said she will do a write up this week and I will be able to post it. I am pretty sure it will include some neat pictures. Also, I guess the gentleman who originally collected these might not have been a smoker. We'll see what more comes out as she converses with the family. As for a count of cards, it is 225. Scott and I are sending in around 20 to be graded today, SGC of course. There will also be some Sweet Caporal pins but they are being sent this week so not sure what they entail. The breakdown is as follows on the cards...

T205- 8 w/assorted backs but no real rare ones..common players
T207- 2 Broadleafs which are getting graded and 9 Recruits...all commons

T206- (3-4 have the GOOD stamp on back?)

AB350 no frame... 1
AB350 w/frame... 19
Cycle 350... 36
Cycle 460... 1
EPDG... 1
Old Mill... 1
Pied 150... 4
Pied 350... 40
Pied 350/460... 1 (not fact 42)
Polar Bear... 7
SC150... 36
SC350... 53
SC 350/460... 2
Tolstoi... 4

So there you have it.......

The two Broadleafs are the plums of the collection.

I am a little disappointed. The cards look better to me but I am biased.

The Saier is an 82 and the Tyler is an 80.

Want to be really disappointed by the grades next time have me drop them off.

Aren't those still among the finest known of each card?

For SGC several grades higher on each and for PSA close to the highest, i think....there might be a PSA 7 of one of them.
