Are Tango Eggs Real?

[barrysloate]

I have a silly question- where does everybody find these Seinfeld photos? No matter what line someone mentions, the exact photo from that scene is posted on the board. Where do these images come from?

Barry, in that instance you type the words:

seinfeld
elaine
fake

into a google search field. When the web results pop up, just click on the word "images" at the very top left of the google search result pages and you'll be taken to several pages of photos. That photo was about the 9th image on the search I just ran.

Good goin' with that tip Anthony. Now she'll never be able to get his butt out of the house. <:

All are vintage (made in ca.1915), 99% were unissued.

I did find one Tango Jennings about 1999 on eBay that was F/G with dirt, creases, and rounded corners. bought in a lot of 5-6 that had a couple D303 Mothers cards (even rare than Tangos), and some T213-2s. Bought from a lady in Louisiana.

I have never seen a worn example since that one, but they are out there.

I know this isn't anything earth shattering, but I stumbled across this while surfing the web. At least we know that L. Frank & Co. existed.

also found this link, which semi-chronicles what happened to the warehouse...

Hi Mr Mint, I'll take the Tango Egg Buck Weaver for $30 Please

Below is a pic of the famous Mr Mints scam ad from 18 years ago for the Tango's after the hoard was discovered.

Notice the $30 and $95 ea. prices

From what Ive heard years later, he didnt even own the cards (yet or ever?) at the time and made the ad just to see what demand they would have.
What a loser!


I also tried to buy 1 of ea. and was told I was too late (like everyone else).

PS the SCD guides need to update the info that there are est.20 Jennings, there are really like 100-200.

Thank goodness such conduct doesn't happen today in our hobby.
