Out w/SGC for slabbing right now. Hopefully won't be rejected as too delicate to undergo the process. N269:

I feel like we need to set a timer until Brian's Goudey Ruth makes its appearance.

Here is my 1933 Goudey Ruth...just kidding. Goudeys are thick and fairly indestructible cards...you have to mean spirited for them to end up looking like mine. Instead I show this T216 Kotton of Evers. The cards from this set are on very thin paper, and if not careful, they end up looking like this:

This postcard was in pretty rough shape when I rescued it from a cigar box at a local paper show. The crease down the middle is pretty deep and not many more fibers holding it together.

Sure any given card can be fragile if it's beat up enough. For a fragile set, however, I nominate T201. They printed those things on tissue paper and encouraged you to bend them in the middle. I've got a Matthewson that is never ever going to leave its card saver because the top half is still connected to the bottom half mostly through force of habit.
