Likelyhood of New Cards Being Discovered

[scmavl]

I, like Jon, was thinking of the Tango Eggs Cobb. I doubt a new T206 will be showing up, but on some of the more obscure sets? Sure.

New stuff surfaces regularly in a wide variety of card collecting arenas. I'd be surprised to see a new subject in a well established mainstream set (though perhaps not a back-front combo in T cards, as that area still isn't completely proven yet), but definitely not in an issue where there "should" be more cards.

I find new boxing cards all the time. Latest is this Jack Dempsey from Cuba:

Still not well understood, the 1939 R-Uncataloged set (that is the tentative name I have given them) has been known about by a few but no more than 15-20 examples of the set are known to exist as of now (not to say that won't increase once it finally gets cataloged and people know what they have sitting in their "misc" box.)

Rhett, what's the sizing on these cards?

[rhettyeakley]

they are 2.375" x 3.375" (or 2-3/8" x 3-3/8"). Nearly modern "standard size"

They are about the same size and similar in style to these nonsport cards issued in the early 1930s. I wonder if there is a connection?
