Backstory - Morehouse Bakery Ruth, Jackson et al discovery in Mass

[jbsports33]

I have been all over this story today, Jeff! Really cool and glad it's helped expand your knowledge. Did see you at the Boston show (Shriner's Show) and noticed you had some great stuff - just did not get a chance to say hi! Over the years it's funny the story mentioned the old Standard Catalog (2001). That was my first book when I really started in pre-war, had so many great resources and used that with the auction catalog from Barry Halper. I was so hooked by then; I never have stopped buying and selling pre-war. Those Morehouse cards are so unique to the hobby that you should get lots of interest.

I am familiar with Lawrence ,MA history and was up there years ago talking with the historical society about boxing history and sports traditions. Still have one of the original photos we ended up talking about. I have had many boxings pieces in the past and New England in general has some of the best history about the sport. Lawrence was the scene of many boxing matches, and the local baseball field was used for many of them from the 1890s to about the 1940s.

About 15 years ago I helped someone sell the rarest boxing card from the 1948 Leaf set. I as well use my hobby experiences to help others sell and have helped many throughout New England over the years. Great way to give back a bit, the knowledge, and experiences. I know we ran into each other a few times, but if you ever what to talk, come by the Dedham, MA show sometime!

Good Luck and your website looks great!
