To me the hidden gem is the Morey article, which I just forwarded to him for his review and comment. Imagine that's where a lot of the signed Max Carey cards were sourced, and Tommy Leach as well...

Here's another column by Morey from the June 30, 1962 Card Collector. He gives the address of another T206er, Hans Lobert.

The fellow willing to pay $5.00 for a "Ty Cobb" back was a wise fellow.

Paying 5x book for a Wagner --- ludicrous !!!!!!!!!!!

"some dealers have been asking, and I suppose getting, 50c for these cards from kids who know no better." ---- Wish I was one of them

Fun stuff.

Why don't we just all pool our resources and hire Dr. Emmett Brown to convert an old Delorean....
