Very cool poster - don't recall seeing it before.

Leon,
I do get the point. I can only tell you and I think Matt can verify that I sent him a list of cards last week and on it was a 1934 Annis Furs Gehringer PC. Now I may have listed it as such bc subconciously I recalled seeing the poster at some point. I'm so old I'm not sure.

[Matt]

I vouch - especially since he got the Gehringer form me

I picked up a Goslin this week from another board member who had it listed as Annis Furs - In the past year, I'm finding that most people who know about that issue know the right name. That certainly was not the case 5 years ago.

Hey Jeff
All in good fun. I don't recall seeing anything about where those actually came from, and they had always been described as most still do as "Detroit team cards", before the poster. Information is so much faster than when we were kids. Can you imagine if Burdick had the internet?

I know. For years I assumed these were a product of the Detroit News like the oversized colorful supplements. I am not sure when or how for that matter I realized their connection with Annis Furs. It may very well have come from seeing your poster at some point. And..........it is all good fun!

Have any of those BF2s left?

I did a search on the board, under "annis" and it looks like it was about 3 1/2 yrs ago that the poster was shown. It was shown by some guy named "Archive". That Archive guy must be the smartest baseball card collector in the history of the Universe, not just Earth, but the whole Universe. He seems to know everything!!!

As for the BF2's.....the rest will be in our next B and L Auction.....not sure how they will be split up yet but I am leaning to having groups of them. regards

The connection with the poster is also noted in the SCD Standard Catalog now as well.
