great window into the best of times for collecting methinks.
thanks for sharing the correspondence.
with Bob M., I have a few Lionel Carter's and love them no matter the grade.
Some are higher but i must say that the Ramly I got from you,Leon, a good while ago, is a favorite even though ole sgc gave it a fair.
best,

Since we are on the Lionel Carter topic, I thought I would post a few from his first baseball card set, the '33 Delong that he assembled from packs. I believe he said this set is what started his baseball card obsession. He was a kid when he put this set together so the condition is not as pristine as some of his later sets, but it is still pretty nice. I am very psyched to have a hobby relic like this.

P.S. Paul, those letters are great.

Cool cards, Jim

Phenomenal letters, thanks so much for sharing. Imagine the going prices of cards those days -- 15 cents, or lots for $5 or $10 dollars. Brings a tear to read his line about how he felt that the money guys ruined the hobby.

Here's my one card from his collection, thanks for showing yours,
