Jim, Jeff P. can have the dibs on this one. I call dibs on the 1987 Topps set newly discovered.

Fantastic Dan - thanks for the info!

Dan- I never agreed with the idea that by keeping a set secret it would make it more valuable. After all, the only way to ever reap the gains is to eventually publicize it...or are you bemoaning the fact that a small hoard was discovered? Either way, the example you have is still valuable.

I say publicize the SOB!

Hey, Dan:

Can you make the sample scan the Lefty Grove card? Please?

danmckee · #6 10-28-2009, 04:48 PM

I have about 14 examples Barry, and I can assure you that mine will not be public information. As I have kept the issue secret for all of these years.

What amazes me is that SGC slabbed them, not having any clue of what they are. They are labeled 1921 Baltimore Orioles.

All they have to do is pick the phone up and call me, I have offered my services to them several times. But Bill Huggins was the one that took the initiative of contacting me to find out what they were.

I love SGC, but I wish they would use me for what little I am worth. Dan.

Everyone, scans of the new slab on the E93 Cobb (unaltered is mentioned on slab) and each card of the 1921 Orioles Tip Top find will be available on our website shortly. Thanks

James

See Dan, if it were me I would gladly share the checklist...but that's me. I understand you feel differently.

I do see your side Barry, but I have been paying extra money for years for stuff cause I get beat up with "its uncataloged". This is a long going debate and I know I am in the minority on this board but I have several long time collectors that agree with me that are not on this board.

danmckee · #10 10-28-2009, 05:06 PM

Remember, I am sharing the ad piece with the board, Lyman for Oldcardboard and Huggins and Scott. I could keep that hush hush as well but it does bring validity to the issue.

I understand why Dan does this. If he's still in the market to buy these going forward, publicizing their existence may run the prices up.

If he were in the market to sell, it would be understandable to handle it differently.

I have no problem with a collector handling it either way.
