An uncataloged Colgan's proof of Bugs Raymond (Frank has one on his website as well). Hopefully clues will surface that reveal the true origin of this issue.

I worked a nice trade cash deal and got a nice upgrade. Now if only I could find a few of the cards I am really looking for.

Thanks and right back atcha' Brian. I was the underbidder on your E97 Hemphill (gorgeous card I almost died when I lost it), your E98 Kling tonight and your E98 Coombs tonight although my snipe didn't fire for some reason on that one.
I am curious what you thought about the prices of the E98s tonight, I thought they were very reasonable. I paid 1/2 what I was willing to go on the Evers and should have bid more on the ones you won (and others I was underbidder on) but I am saving some bucks for Alan M.'s final group, the E94s which will appear next Sunday.

wes given your whale status i'm surprised barry hasn't fedexed you the card already.

On it's way from Barry as well..he did email me and say he wasn't sending it until I paid the past 4 years back catalog fees of $85 each...however members of the Seinfeld forum get a free pass to all of his auctions.

I am lucky that Barry now allows me to bid on bigger lots over $1,000.

While most people paid $75 for their Mastro catalogs, due to my whale status, a former Mastro employee charge me $100 for the catalogs seven years ago. I was already bidding online and she threatened to erase all my bids and ban my participation if I did not pay this fee.

Whale status is overrated.

(yeah, I posted it in the REA thread... but it just arrived so here it is again )


I have some troubles.
After seeing this card in person - I definitely want the card in all of the different background colors.

When I got that card I started talking about Old time hockey with Eddie Shore and Toe Blake and my wife had no idea what I was talking about. Its not funny when you have to explain it.

Very nice eye appeal on the Wagner, Joe, but I cring every time I read someone else is going to be bidding on the E94s

Posted By: Joe D.

Jim -
I will give you first dibs (hopefully I remember to put a note with the card )


Bob -
don't worry - I will be on a slow and steady pace - and just Wagners.... for now


Thanks for the kind words guys.

Great E-cards all around! Is it true Brian, that "you ain't got a thing if you ain't got that [K]ling" ? (sorry, couldn't resist!)

JoeD - love the color in the Wagner!

These are from earlier in the month ...







... seller's interesting shipping notwithstanding (tucked inside 5 separate 4x9 plain envelopes)! At least the surrounding support, packaging and enclosing box were well secured. We'll see how they fare.

It's a little know fact that Meulo's Pharmacy was running a special in 1956. Meulo's gave out a month's supply of HGH (human growth hormone) to all customers with 50 years of patronage for the exact price of $9.38.

Jason, Amazing Goudey Shore. That nut was Satan's apprentice. But damn, could the Original Boston bad boy play.


"...Shore used a mirror to watch the doctor sew his back ear on. Shore claimed Coutu used his hockey stick to cut off the ear, and Coutu was fined $50.

During a game against Montreal, Shore 'accidentally' punched NHL referee-in-chief Cooper Smeaton during a fight with Sylvio Mantha and was fined $100.

Shore ended the career of Toronto Maple Leafs star Ace Bailey when he fractured Bailey's skull from a dirty hit, nearly killing him."

Mike- Nice cards! You definitely know your T207s as that group represents some of the tougher T207 commons to find in nice shape.

Thanks Steve.

Eddie Shore was definitely a legend. One of the great photos in hockey history has be Shore shaking hands with Ace Bailey during the first all star game. (Which was a fund raiser for Bailey after he suffered the career ending Shore hit)

I think this little booklet is extremely cool. It has a lot of stats and stories. Also a nice page featuring several player images. Wasn't sure if everyone had seen inside one of these so I included several photos. Also was wondering if any of you guys could find any errors listed within all this info.

I think that books is great and has amazing information and pictures. I have ahd one for years and I have tried to sell it or even trade it with no takers.

Mine has a stamp for a hardware store in Philadelphia, PA.

I think it is a great piece, but I just don't enjoy the book type stuff as much as cards these days.

Yours is the only other I have seen and I wonder is this was a one year deal or if they did them ever year.
