Default Lionel Carter

It is great that you found my interview with Lionel Carter somewhat inspirational. I am fascinated by provenance, which is particularly important when it comes to my signed card collection. So many of my signed T206s came from the Jeff Morey collection, which is so much more important to me than JSA or PSA-DNA's approval.

One of my favorite aspects of my collection of signed T206 cards is the letter Fred Snograss wrote to legendary collector John Wagner, when he returned Mr. Wagner's T206 card with an autograph, along with a signed photo and index card. The entirety of this mini-collection is below.

Congrats on your pickup, Erick. The Snodgrass reply was a fantastic read! Did any of Frank Nagy's 206s end up in SGC holders? I have seen some of his other cards slabbed, but never a T206. It would be great to own one for sure!

Best,

Andy

this kind of provenance is cool. nagy, carter etc hand-down cards...not so much. i don't care which old guy owned the cards before me. with old people i usually have to talk louder and they can be pretty cranky...not cool.

That Snodgrass collection is fantastic.
I also have a letter from Snodgrass written to a collector.
No mention of cigarette cards, but he does mention Matty & McGraw & other baseball content.

I totally agree with the sentiment that owning a card that formerly belonged to one of those grand collections is to, in my small way, partake of the history and tradition of our illustrious hobby.

My only card of provenance:


Happy Thanksgiving to all,
