Default Schapira Brothers Big Show Candy

Posted By: fkw

In eBays early years they used to pop up 3-4 times a year, This was before they were in the catalogs or well known at all (same with the J=K). Some collectors think they are trimmed V100's, but I knew better I picked up about 5 total and never paid over $25, and I also picked up a Cobb (different than Leon's), but no longer have them. Once not too long ago (3-4 years?) there was a group of 6-8 of them with a Ruth in it on eBay and it went cheap. I believe a board member has them.

PS. In last 5 years or so the price has jumped like crazy on these, along with other obscure sets (Uncle Jacks, Leader Novelty, Orange Border, Base-Ball Bats, J=K, Star Player Candy, W503, Holland, etc.)
