I LOVE that Hand Fan, DocPat...

Where did you find it? I search for these Fans all the time, and missed this one. Appears to be in amazingly good shape, too... that's a keeper!

Hi Mark,

I picked it up off e-bay. The seller's listing title was rather generic and didn't list any of the players. That probably helped me a little concerning the final price. It does have some condition issues, but nothing too major. I've seen a few in the past, but they had the sticks completely broken off and the sellers were still trying to get over $500 for them.

Just wish I had picked this one up instead (IMO, the best fan I have seen)...

That fan is really cool, never seen that one before. Although the other one is not common by any means, I have seen several of them over the years.

Thanks Phil. I collect a lot of oddball issues, domino discs, Helmar and Piedmont stamps, BF2's, S74's, etc. I have always thought the fans were nice pieces and relatively affordable compared to contemporary cards. They display nicely (although I've long run out of display space).

The one I picked up does appear from time to time as does the manager one, but the other one I have only seen the one time.
