MikeI was also sorry to hear about Carter's death. It would have been great to talk cards with him. My dad is 86 and he recalls trying to find card # 106 in the 1933 Goudey set. He went to WWII and came home and all his cards were throw away. I started up again in 1958.
Note: I know Carter must have went thru 100,000 's of pre-WWII cards and was always upgrading and trading to improve his collection and I have seen lots of cards that he had since the 1930's and they grade only 2's and 4's etc. Where are all these new T and E cards coming from graded 8's and 9's ???? If they weren't around in the 1930's hard to believe they are still in that condition almost 80 years later. Hard to believe a 100 year old card has never slipped out of someones hand and landed on the floor or got nicked in a box.
