What We Need Right Now...

I have a feeling grading card company inserts would just not properly showcase this funhouse T206.

Seldom have I sent cards to a TPG and only cards that I intended to sell/trade. While I don't crack graded cards out of their slabs, many/most of my cards are raw, especially those acquired 20 years or more ago. As I work on a master set of Sam Rice's cards, I'm thrilled to have these off-condition cards, especially because they are rare/scarce.

It's not pre-war, but here's a raw card I bought about 25 years ago before slabs were as plentiful as they are now.

Almost all my cards are not graded. I do put them in sleeves and toploaders though.

Here's one that once was a very hot card....



Sorry, couldn't resist.

Reminds me of that T206 "Hooker nailed to a stud" card that someone showed here about a hundred years ago.

I am posting the pix from the thread above. Auction is to help out BobbyVCP's best friend who has Parkinson's. I know about Parkinson's because I have it. Great cause and a great card, an autographed 34 Goudey Charley Gehringer. Fits beautifully into this thread. And as Phil says, the best autograph there is.

Here's some low grade raw HOFers. First Marquard is a Miners Extra, the Baker a purple back. Other two are Honest Long Cut blacks. Multiple Cobb's are going to kill me when I get around to them...
