Curious where the family was from-was it St. Loo or elsewhere?

Hello - It was St Louis and saw them! - Bought the Demmit! Good buy, it was too good to pass up - there goes my tav refund.

J.D. Heckathorn had the set, he's a regular at the Chicago shows. Great to deal with, fair, part-time collector - he got the cards from a family in the STL area. The O'Hara was lower grade, short miscut .. but the Demmit is a solid good looking 3, may get a 4.

Ed,

I was standing next to you when you bought them. Great buy in my opinion. Totally agree that it could be a 4.

Danny, ha! That was you..?! Small world! Thanks - I thought so .. I have the set minus the "big 6" in this case, figured I'd get a Demmit and OHara STL someday but wasn't holding my breath to run out lay down $3K+ for them either. I came to drop off some cards for grading, look around, laugh at Levi's white top hat t-shirt and shorts and leave :-) .. Next thing you know, there goes the tax refund :-)

Thanks for letting me know on the post. So many people here I've never met, I'd be surprised how many you'd bump into at the show without knowing!

I have a red Cobb, but I don't have a green Cobb or the St. Louis cards.

Good find Ed, would have ran into you at the show too, but had to work. Maybe next time.
Congrats on the Demmitt.

Thanks - will post on the pick-up thread when I get it back (gave to SGC right away). Plan to be at National here in August, the Donald E Stephens is only about 5 miles from me.

I have all 4 Cobbs, my green is an SGC70 with large borders. Don't have the other cards.
