Great story...


I found this website 3 years ago while searching for my great/great grand dad’s tobacco card...
Been hooked ever since.

Great job!

Send me your address and I'll send this one out gratis. Not high grade but you can't beat the price. The card shown earlier in this thread is my personal copy from my website.

That's GREAT!

Looks like he threw the baseball right through the card!


And kudos for generosity!

Just wanted to post how much I love this thread and Rhett's generous offer. So glad the OP was able to find a card of his grandfather.

This has been one of my favorite posts recently. Thanks OP and glad you are getting g-pa's card.

Rhett, you are amazing. Fantastic example for us all.

It does look like he threw the ball through the card. Lol

The OP originally contacted me at VCP and I directed him here. I knew with Z's basically never selling on eBay or auction one of you here would be able to help him out. I talked to him on the phone at length and glad he got taken care of....outstanding community.
