Yes Barry this was the best condition small group of SLC cards consigned to auction that I remember. However the very best was the W600 lot in the Copeland Collection. The reserve of $100K was not met. That minimum bid would be easily met today.

Tom started collecting these cards at a fairly good time but quit too early.
Scott started late but is making up for lost time.

The SLC card series was first offered to their readers at the end of the 1902 baseball season. In ordering these cards the choice of player was made by the reader. No player was more popular during those few early years than Wagner. Mathewson was still new.
