I just set a snipe for lot #81 in the Bray auction (Mecca folders), and will probably break them up, if I win. Let me know if you're interested.

Seems like Alan Hager missed some grades when he came up with his 10 point system.. Based on the Card Collectors Newsletter, I think it should be 12 points:
10 - Gem Mint 9 - Mint 8 - Near Mint/Mint 7 - Near Mint 6 - Excellent/Mint 5 - Excellent 4.5 - Sound 4 - Clean 3.5 - Very Good/Excellent 3 - Very Good 2 - Good 1 - Fair/Poor |

It's interesting that as we go through these we see the exact same things we talk about today being talked about back then. Notice how you could put your spending limit in the auction bids too. I wonder if they had ever even heard the term "shill?"

One thing they weren't talking about then was card doctors.

I noticed the mention several times of coffee cards in this issue and in the past. I saw that Arbuckle's offered History, Animal and Sports cards. See ad below for Arbuckles and on top "No. 78 AN ALBUM OF NATURAL HISTORY".
Apparently you could collect the signatures from Arbuckles Coffee and send in for any number of prizes, one of which was these cards. From The Houston Daily Post, November 22, 1899 ![]()
