N300 Mayo's Cut Plug Set

Not the prettiest card, but heck of a pedigree. Was once owned by another board member right here!

Yes this is definitely a cool set to collect. I have been stumbling along for years with this set. I second the previous comment about watching for cards with borders being touched up....hard to pick up in scans but significantly easier to see in person. Fortunately most marker ink bleeds through to other layers of paper or the markers aren't made of true black ink - so there is some color discrepancy when you look closely. Good thing it is hard to make a truly black ink!

Don't expect to add a lot of cards quickly to your set. And it would help to subscribe to an auction alert site. There are 8+ cards with alternate uniforms, spellings or no uniforms, I believe. Delahanty seems to be a difficult card to get, as is the Brothers Louisville version. And for whatever reason, there are a couple of commons - Haddock being one - that are more difficult to find.

Happy hunting....

I only have a few of these, but love the set. They are some of my favorite cards. Good luck!
