What year(s) is that from? Why isn't it stated?? Isn't that virtually the first thing a person looks for on a slab?

[MR RAREBACK]

1902-1911

Sometime between 1904 and 1912.

I concur and I don't like cabinets.

It seems like people know a lot about these specific cards, but they aren't saying who they belong to or whether they will be up for sale ....

This seems to be the Copeland group that sold back in March of 1991. That group had a total of 70 cabinets including over 50 different Hall of Famers (counting different poses). I was at the auction and the lot did not meet its minimum bid, but sold privately immediately afterwards. I remember that the overall condition of the lot was absolutely amazing. I have not corresponded with their current owner, but, as far as I know, he just got them graded and they are going right back into his collection.

There are other HOFers that were just graded as part of this collection as wel. The only reason why they are 1/0 is because PSA just started differentiating the four different mounts. All of these cards were known to exist.

Condition wise, this is the finest collection of W600 Hall of Famers that I know of. I would love to see them come to the market.

Those card doctors are creating some nice beauties these days!

Gotta have it!

Seems like the response now every time someone shows a really nice anything. Yes, everything really nice is doctored somehow and fake.

Nothing personal but these responses always come off like a lot of sour grapes.

+1 as I would think just the price of the Wagner or the Cobb would double what the cost of the entire group cost back in 1991.

Now that PSA gives a better description on W600s by including the Cabinet mount type, wonder how much would they charge to reholder ones graded before the change? This one of Cy is type 2
