Very rare blank back cards from T68. The Nero is the personal catch for me, as I grew up with Tacitus.

I bought 2 boxes of Bar's Pieces of the Past Super Premium Whatever edition. Each box has a 1/1 card and a relic. Each of the base subjects comes in a few different colors to produce enough 1/1's to have more than 107 boxes. You can get them for like $35-$40, so I spun the wheel and tried it.

First box on the left, a win. JFK 1/1 and the relic is from the real Messrs. Smith & Wesson, so perfect for my interests. Who knows what the relic item is from, probably a random newspaper clipping or letterhead. Not a fan of these relics, but I understand the hobby expectation of relics in modern and the difficulty in doing 'true' relics of old-time history figures without a massive budget and resulting huge cost of a box.

2nd box is a dud, this Hamilton is fugly. Hopefully I can trade it for a Sullivan or Jeffries boxing card from the set. The Seabiscuit relic is a piece from a horse saddle, kind of cool in an odd way. I support history cards and creativity

[G1911]

2 of the 4 plates of the most popular general of late 1861 and early 1862. Highly controversial performance in his time, Lee considered him his greatest adversary and sung his praises. Few others did as time went on.
