E90-1, E95, E96, E97, E98, E254 and some others

Within the past two weeks, I've brokered app twenty sizeable raw lots locally and through our BST from this grouping. I am selling these for a once affluent family that is using the funds to provide 24* nursing/compaionship service, so the family matriarch, Mrs M can remain in her home overlooking Cape Cod Bay and not be placed into a Nana Manor.

The Grouping belonged to Mrs M's uncle, a college chemistry professor, since his death in the 70s. Ironically, he never smoked cigarettes. At that time, another niece was about to donate the cards to a church thrift shop along with other rare antiques. Luckily, Mrs M stepped in and convinced All to hang onto these.

Since that time, these had been stored untouched at the family estate in Boston. A few of these have been deliberately hand cut, written upon and show other marks and stampings. Certainly, none maliciously, in my opinion.

Full Disclosure, Although I get a great feeling when forwarding the payments -thanks to you guys... I'm not doing this because I'm a warm and fuzzy person. I DO get compensation; 15% of net sales. In addition, the family has allowed me to purchase a small amount of "discounted" items.

My sincere thanks to those I've dealt with so far. Some of the email exchanges have been a blast. This has been an enjoyable ride.

Thankyou for reading the drivvle. Any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to contact me asap.

Thankyou,

Incidentally, Ive had a few inquiries about lesser-grade, affordable T206 lots and HOFs. I'll be getting to that this week, I hope.

Still ample stock to unload. Stay tuned

The lots I have purchased have been as described. Great fun as well with the communication with Steve.

Good luck Steve in working this out. I dont collect 206 but those looked like very nice lots and u seem to be a top shelf guy.

Hi Steve, Thanks for the background story about these lots that I have enjoyed looking at. Pretty neat find and glad Mrs. M hung onto to them until now.

[ethicsprof]

great work, steve.
i'm hoping that the funds do help the woman live the rest of her life where she wants to, if at all possible.
you're always a compassionate fellow in my book--my way of saying 'warm and fuzzy'-- and are of perennially great help whether there's minor compensation or not.
all the best, ole friend

The lots Steve sold me have been moving my furniture when I sleep.

That being said I couldn't be happier with the look of the cards (dimensions, crease-freeness, etc). Quality stuff.

[caramelcard]

Varying sizes? Those cards are all fine.

Based on the ending numbers of the Huggins and Scott auction, Steve is getting great money. Do these debates mean that the auction houses should be auctioning these off individually to maximize the money for their consigners ?? Maybe so... Are we not just splitting hairs now... This has been interesting though listening to the different train of thoughts. Fun stuff, certainly not the thing that should be irritating people to this degree though. Life is way too short !!

I thought the full name deal was meant for those who aren't known? I know Leon is familiar with Dan and myself....but like Dan I've removed my last comment and won't post on this thread again.

And Phil - all my info other than my telephone number is on the members page (edited to say some of it is out of date...)

Hi Dave
That is not the case. Here is a brief excerpt from the revised rules which have been in place for several months. I am seriously considering changing them to what you are saying though, and that way I can give out a name to anyone that is in the debate or situation, but not to the general public who are viewing the board. Quite honestly it's too time consuming to do it the way it's being done. That being said here are the rules as they are today (again, they are posted on the site too):




"Anonymous, where this board is concerned, implies that you are not known to the moderator or anyone else. That is not permitted on Net54baseball. However, you may remain private on the board; otherwise, as long as your post is not argumentative, controversial, confrontational, accusatorial etc.…For example you can discuss attributes of cards, sets or memorabilia and stay private. You can not say someone is an imbecile, hard to deal with, gave poor service etc…and remain private on the board. In addition to that if your opinion is that you dislike someone, hate them, can’t stand or don’t like anything about them, and you want to tell the world about it on Net54baseball, then your full name will need to be in your post. The moderator may put the posters name on the board or delete their posts, at his sole discretion, when this rule is not adhered to. Heated debates will require first and last names to be known, and made public, on the board. Contact information will be given out for legal reasons or under extraordinary circumstances at the discretion of the moderator."

i didn't think darren's or dave's replies were that bad. is it now the case where if you're simply addressing or replying to someone else's post then you must have your full name out there?

I dunno, what do you think? If someone says you are an (pick any bad thing) and then someone else agrees. Would you want to know who is agreeing with them?

And if you say, well yeah, but those weren't that "bad", who is to say they aren't that bad...and make that decision in every thread? You know what I mean?
