Posted By: <b>anthony</b><p>A different kind of survey.<br /><br />The other day I saw a post that had 3 t206 Kid Elberfeld Washington Portrait cards. I also saw awhile ago a post that had 15+ t206 Dummy Taylor cards. <br /><br />I was wondering who has the most "identical" single card duplicates, triplicates, quadruplicates, etc ?? You dont have to post which card if you dont want to, but the number would be nice.<br /><br />Here's the most I ever had at one time<br /><br />2 T206 Ty Cobb Green Portraits...currently have 0<br /><br />2 T206 John McGraw Portraits No Cap...currently have 1<br /><br />2 T206 Walter Johnson Portraits...currently have 1

Posted By: <b>Paul S</b><p>Three T206 Gandils. A different back on each. No idea how I ended up with 3 because when I was collecting them I would not have gone for more than one of any player, and different backs were not such a big deal. Does separate backs count as hoarding? Or is it the "intention" to hoard?<br /><br />Paul S<br /><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z26/pspec/T206_Gandil_X3_f.jpg"><br /><br /><br />edited to add scan

Posted By: <b>Jim Dale</b><p>Guess 1975 Mini's aren't vintage and worth discussion on a pre war forum, but its fun to watch the registry war for that set on ebay. There are 4 or 5 people within 10 cards of finishing their sets for that registry; one of those cards comes up and its an all out war. The winner is usually the guy who already has the full set and seems to be denying everyone else. I got one of those cards in an SGC and couldn't believe the trade I got for it so the guy could do a cross over. <br /><br />So my question here is do people hoard to deny others or because they are a fan of certain players?

Posted By: <b>peter chao</b><p>Jim,<br /><br />If your a true hoarder then your into the investment aspect of the Hobby. Let's put it this way one '87 Topps Barry Bonds looks pretty much like another one. So there's no reason why you would need 200 unless your hoping the price will go up.<br /><br />Peter

Posted By: <b>Jim Dale</b><p>Peter,<br /><br />Guess that is predominately it; but I hoard one of the 1975 Mini's just because I still play golf with the guy and I like to tell him I got another one of his cards when I do see him. I'm up to about 12 of his top PSA graded cards from the 75 mini set (out of 25 in the population reports).

Posted By: <b>Paul S</b><p>Cat,<br /><br />Not an attempt to age you, but did you acquire those '63 Rose's by buying packs in the year they came out (and grade them later?) The only reason I ask is that I have 5 1971 Topps Yaz's, which was the last year I bought packs over the counter. I didn't even realize I had 5 until I went through them two weeks ago. By the way, each one is different from the other in quality, especially centering-wise.<br /><br />Paul S

Posted By: <b>howard</b><p>Barry, I am surprised that anyone would pay fifty cents apiece for 1987 Magadan cards but at least there was a chance at that time that he would become a star player. What amazes me is that you were able to dump them on someone for twenty-five cents apiece after he had erased earlier hopes of stardom. Good job!<br /><br />Howard

Posted By: <b>David Smith</b><p>There is a guy in Madison, Indiana who buys up every 1933 Goudey (I think?) card of a certain player because he is related to him.

If you need that card for your Goudey set and it is hard to find, now you know why. This guy has been buying and hoarding them for years.

Posted By: <b>Ray</b><p>Jason/Peter,<br /><br />When I first got into collecting pre-war, about a year or so ago, I picked up a few cheap raw commons of various sets to educate myself a little and see what set I wanted to collect. Well I picked up a raw version of this card (I think it's the second raw card at the top) for about $6. I got it in the mail, and read the back, which mentioned that Lynn Nelson was born in Fargo, ND. <br /><br />Now, I didn't grow up in Fargo, but I did live there for a year or so during my last year of high school. I met my wife there and met life-long friends there, and really love that city. After a little research, I found that Lynn Nelson is the only pre-war ball player from Fargo (the only other noteable guy from there is Roger Maris). <br /><br />Oh, and on a side note, Lynn Nelson wasn't born in Fargo. He was born about 60 miles to the south in a little town called Sheldon, ND. <br /><br />I'm definitely not hoarding them <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14> Like I said before, there's gotta be several hundred of them floating around out there. But getting one in the mail reminds me of the thrill I got when not only did I get one of my first pre-war cards, but I read the back to see Fargo mentioned. It's just a cool feeling. Plus, pretty much any pre-war card looks awesome with a bunch of its brothers sitting right next to it.

Posted By: <b>peter chao</b><p>Ray, <br /><br />That's a great reason for collecting Lynn Nelson cards, it's better than my reason for getting 200 '87 Topps Barry Bonds cards, I'm trying to corner the market.

Posted By: <b>Eric Brehm</b><p>The guy who buys Tommy Thevenow's 1933 Goudey cards (card #36) is apparently the player's son. He buys not only cards but other memorabilia related to Thevenow as well. I think if I were in his position I would probably do the same thing. It does however add an interesting twist to the Goudey collecting challenge for the rest of us.
