Yes... knowing these things are of no consequence to relevance...

As to It was an attempt to converse with Mr David!
And it work'd... Sort of...

So "My Apologies" go out to the Entire McDonald Clan!
For what ever I did I did it to do it, and now it is done...
Thank You David for Your heartfelt note desiring my attention (:

Anyways... Mr Carter was a Jedi Guardian Collector, He should get more pub!
I actually can't believe that His Mastro CD isn't on Youtube or the like!?!?

My Favorite Card of Lionel's

Hiya Denny
All in good fun.
That's a rip-snortin' portrait of the Christian Gentleman.
Some lucky lad pulled this handsome Matty out of a box of Cracker Jack 108 years ago. Eventually Mr Carter acquired it. Many decades later it found its way, sans "the famous confection", to your old cyberpal Kawika, just a few degrees of separation from Sailor Jack and Bingo a century ago. Life is indeed grand.
Speaking of the Mastro CD, it is on YouTube after all. Here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=50pkXT_UPm0
The fellow who posted it gives a short intro about Lionel Carter. The CD content starts at 6:40 +/-



I'll throw in this old photo for good measure.

Always nice to see old threads resurrected. I love the makeshift "card binders" Mr. Carter created. I do have a vast appreciation to how the hobby was handled in it's early years (along with a healthy appreciation for other things from the mid 20th century) I suppose the grass is always greener, you always want what you didn't/can't have.

As a side note is there a term for being Nostalgic for a time you didn't live in? Because I very much get that feeling at times!

Just saw this old post, remembered I had the dvd. Just watched it again. Some nice cards.. What was the final sale price on the collection. Thanks

What a fascinating video. A nostalgic look back to the hobby beginnings when trust and trades were everything. The Carters are Rockwellian Americana. I love the comment that Sunday nights were card mounting nights, listening to Jack Benny on the radio. Fittingly, the 30's music that played in the background was Jack Benny's theme song, Love in Bloom.
