T206 Tolstoi Ty Cobb Red Portrait PSA 2

[darwinbulldog]

I try to stay away from T206s. I really do, but then when nothing else I want comes up for sale...

[Cerberus]

Never thought I'd be able to add an unopened, properly dated Old Mill slide pack, to my collection. Many thanks to a long-time pack collector (and member of this board), who contacted me after uncovering what is perhaps a once-in-a-lifetime "find" of several of these packs, along with at least a portion of the carton they came in! If you're wondering about the "overstamp," it is factory info only. Now, if only I could find a reliable TPG to certify and slab this baby:

Cool! Maybe a T206 Cobb in there? T210 Jackson? What could have come in it?

That is just amazing! Is there way to tell if a card is in there?

Over the years, some have suggested that an xray or MRI might reveal the contents of these packs--I'm not really sure about that. There is, of course, another method to "find out if a card is in there," but that of course is NOT going to happen. Thank you all for the positive comments, both here and via pm's.

Michael-

Beautiful pack. Save your money on the x-ray; it doesn't work!

First ever vintage card purchase. Not prewar...unless you count Vietnam.

Congrats on the nice pickup! Would be awesome to see the pack opened at The National this year.
