Charles Bray Collection

[benjulmag]

I always get a kick when I see tobacco cards from pioneers such as Bray, Nagy and Carter, who came around when cards had no value, had the pick of the litter and wouldn't you know it decided to pass on all those 7s, 8s and 9s they could have had.

That assumes that those 7,8, and 9s existed back then...

Ah yes, sorry I am a little slow.

You're both anti-grade-ites.

Carter's cards are usually high grade, but most of the time the sellers don't even mention his name, if they do, they add a premium. The Bray cards that I see are mostly collector grade. I think they are neat, but would not pay extra.

One of you smart guys has to be able to answer some of my other Q’s...

How many t206s were in it?
Did they all go to PSA at the same time?
Why was it broken up?
Who sold the collection?
Anything else of interest about the Bray t206s...

Most interested in total number of Bray Collection t206s
