Thanks Tim and JC,
I've been on the hunt for awhile, it's about the cleanest "2" I've seen and came at a fair price.

In my mailbox yesterday. Slowly continuing my journey on this 1935 Goudey set. Also, this is the first Greenberg in my collection. Happy to have it.

Nice pickups, Phil! Let me guess, the "big one off my checklist" is the E106 of Germany Schaefer - right? If nothing else, it's the most colorful of your pickups and my favorite.

Daryl, your cards proved that the theory that Mello Mint must have put the gum inside the card and then pushed up the sides, leaving creases in the middle. I once had a beautiful Wagner batting except for the creases straight down the middle.

John, there are many without the vertical crease as well. I think it’s been said that some employees may have taken Newman the Mailman’s approach and folded the cards before inserting them into the packs, while others did not.

There were also “free sample” packs that were wider and didn’t need the cards to be folded in order to fit.

Thanks Val, I was mesmerized by the Schaefer also, love the horizontal look, matches the Matty horizontal. A card doesn't always have to valuable to be valuable to me.

Picked this up from the card show this past weekend.
