Bescher is by far one of the most common Tango Eggs and it is probably just the winner of this lot dumping them gradually.

I remember seeing that crazy REA lot and thinking...if these were mine, I wouldn't consign them as a group lot in an auction. There were 37 Beschers and 14 Jennings cards. That's nuts! Here is a a group shot of most of the 55 cards of the lot.

Default Makes you wonder...

how many other future HOF/star players that kid gave up in trades back in the day to get more Beschers? What was he was thinking?!

Or was the lot acquired in more modern times? And again, what was that guy thinking?

Most Tango Eggs were discovered as part of a huge find. Players were not equally distributed. There have been a few threads on the subject over the years. Here is one that includes a copy of the letter released by the family who made the find outlining a very rough number of each player included: https://www.net54baseball.com/showth...ght=tango+eggs

Quit posting links that are rabbit holes!

That's a lot of Bescher's shown above.

I don't have a Tango Eggs Bescher, but I want to buy one. For the same reason I don't own a 1956 Topps Mantle, I'm always looking for a bargain.
