W601 Sporting Life "Show'em if you got'em"

[Bicem]

Thanks! I started buying them one by one, then the great Steve Murray was nice enough to help me complete it. Pretty tough set to complete, but now with yours I know of at least 3 of them, probably a couple more tucked away in private collections. Did you buy your set through Lipset, I know he auctioned one off a few years ago.

No I did not buy mine from Lew. I got mine from a Ephemera show in the mid 80's. I paid $30 bucks each and $75 for the Detroit. The dealer had $50 each on them and $100 for the Detroit but I talked her down :-) Man those where the days! I know of the set Lew had, one in another collection, yours and mine. So that is a lot more than I thought complete. I wonder how many more there could be? Do you have any W601's full size?

Steve very nice W601's! I just love how they really covered all the teams. Is that all that you have? Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for the scan of the Boston, Jeff. I love the early Carrigan shot.

Wow, nice prices! I had to pay a little more than that.

Did you see the Detroit card in SCP that recently sold for just under $10k?

I don't have any of the full-size Premiums, I did have the 1905 Detroit one but had to give it up in order to get the PC.

No I didn't??? I have been out of the hobby for a few years. But wow $10k really??? I guess the rookie card collectors have finally said "Ok postcards are cards." It really shocks me sometimes when things go so far up in price, but like I said before these are so tough to find. I guess we can both sau we are glad we got yours early! Now if I could have only loved the carmels cards a little sooner.
