You and the others are welcome, Jim. Recently I picked up some more boxes stuffed with this kind of stuff. It is nice being able to show a glimpse of what it used to be like in our hobby, before most of us (but not all of us) were in it. Here is a page from the 2nd issue of this magazine, entitled "Price List #2...January 1, 1964". There was a question about the album mentioned and here is the back cover of this issue to help with a full description.

T205 and T206 were issued between 1900 and 1915? Is that the extent of the knowledge back then?

Don't know but the T205s were priced at 50% more than T206s. Some things do change.

and I will add this Beatles Concert Poster found in the same box of stuff. Can you imagine seeing them....and for free!! It is approximately 8 1/2 x 12.

"Beatles for Free"

Yeah, but who wants to sit through Derry and The Seniors!?

I just spoke to a gentleman who does Beatles Posters like I do type cards . He says there is a 98-99% chance it's not a real poster....Time will tell....and I am out nothing if it isn't. But if it were real I have a feeling it could be somewhat valuable...

I'll take the '52 Topps set for $34.75 please...with inflation that's only about $266, aka about the same price as 6 to 10 '52 commons nowadays

If someone on here is working on a time machine , I'll donate $1.

If Beatle poster is real , I'd be interested also. Seen The Beatles in 1966.


Leon, thanks for posting.

My dad was born in 1922 and collected 1933 and 1934 Goudey's. He never even knew or seen tobacco cards when he was young.

Mid-January 1961 The Beatles consisted of ( John, Paul, Geoge, Pete Best and Stu Stucliffe).
