1904 Allegheny Game Cards

[Andy Baran]

I owned the Alleghany Brown card for a number of years. Originally bought it from Terry Knouse, and eventually sold it to Hal Lewis when I liquidated my baseball card collection. Not sure what ever happened to it.

I think that whoever bought the Matty for $8283 from Goodwin will be very happy with its value appreciation if they hold it for a decade or so. Incredibly rare and significant (it is Matty, after all) is just going to be a great combo over time!

Hello Phil

Here is one. Got this one from Leon.

Sorry about derailing your thread before.

No problem Frank. I'm glad we got back on track. A very interesting and intriguing set.

Here's a question. I see that your card is hand cut. I thought I read somewhere that they believe this entire set was hand cut. If so, how does it get a numerical grade? I thought any hand cut card would only get an "A" authentic grade?

Phil there are a ton of card issues that PSA & SGC grade numerically.
Here's 1 that happens to be sitting on my desk as an example
though I'd rather it be an Allegheny

Good question. I have never understood that. I have seen PSA sometimes use the term "trimmed" on the header. I'm not sure what criteria they are using in calling a card Authentic vs numerical grade. SGC uses Authentic designation for trimmed cards.

I'm sure there are opinions regarding this on the board.

Frank as stated in my earlier post, both PSA & SGC numerically grade many issues that are hand cut
