Update on the Howe McCormick collection

[Bridwell]

Back in 1990 I did some business with a guy from New York. After a few conversations I somehow mentioned my hobby of card collecting and he said that he had once owned one of the few Honus Wagner T206's. He had acquired it in 1976 in Florida. I asked about it and he said he paid only $500 for it, and sold it a little later for a small profit. I'm pretty sure he said it was a Piedmont back.

One of many great threads! Love the hunt!

376, wow, that's awesome. I didn't realize you had that many. That Red Chance double-name is great.

I saw that Perry Lipe the other day on eBay. Another Lipe went for over $300 the other day as well...Rob

The gauntlet has been thrown down - the whereabouts of this card need to be found - perhaps at least a good color copy could be provided for the collection.
