So there was a 101 yr old NJ man who passed away
So there was a 101 yr old NJ man who passed away, approx. 10 yrs ago, and he left his small collection of tobacco cards to his family, which he had collected as a young man. His collection will be in our next auction with many more details. While there were no freaks or super rare cards, there are a lot of nice cards. There are lots of Cycle 350s in very nice shape and a lot of AB 350s in nice shape. Here is a sampling, pre-SGC grading...It's always exciting to see cards never seen in the hobby before...Whomever acquires these will be their 2nd owner.....

I am told there is a neat picture of the collector riding one of those high wheel bicycles, which we will share too. The Great Niece, the consignor, is going to do the write up for us to share. As most of us do, I find it really interesting to see "virgin" to the hobby cards. How the borders are, their brightness, what mfg's they were etc...This gentleman looks to have smoked Sweet Caporal, American Beauties, Cycles and Piedmonts mostly. As far as I know the lady is sending us the whole collection, most of it is in hand now. Like I said, not a big one, but a nice one...I would call it vg+ with a few lesser and a few better. The best ones will be graded. Those Broadleafs shown are as nice as they look. I am crossing my fingers on their grades .

Just occurred to me, maybe a pedigree of "The Luckey Find" would bring some more $.

Can you share where it was in NJ so those of us here can kick ourselves for not finding it
