Why I collect

Great pose --- I like it even more when it is on the front AND the back

Cool cards. Has anyone ever floated a theory as to why so many Jennings apparently survived relative to the rest of the set?

I never really followed the Tango Egg cards, but here is what I understand. A very large percentage of all Tango Eggs come from a find (in Louisiana 1990's?). There were various quantities of each subject in the find, some with large amounts like the Jennings, and most of the cards are in better condition. The find has been discussed on the board before. I believe there is a Louisiana cards website that might have more detailed information...ah found it louisianacards.com

Think E98 Black Swamp Find, just 20 or so years earlier.

Had some fun rooting up this letter on the web concerning the Tango Eggs find.

Wow. Letter is cool.

All I need to do is find an unknown set of cards from 100 years ago and I'm set.

Cool cards guys. I like that ghost....such a clear image.

I remember this discovery well from when it happened. Somewhere I still have the issue of SCD announcing the find.

The Louisiana card web-site is something else....

Incredible research, thanks for sharing!
