Awesome! What a great collection of early Vancouver sports, and they contacted the right man for the job. Nicely done Max! Time to check the attic

Just read the on-line article and asked the wife to pick up a Sun at the market. What an absolutely terrific trove of Vancouver deadball goodies!

Default Sporting what?

Cool, but something mentioned in the article doesn't quite sound correct. The cards found are identified as being from the Sporting Life issue. But Joe Jackson didn't have a M116 Sporting Life card issued. Is it the M101-2 Sporting News supplements that they actually meant? Does that mean the other cards mentioned are actually from the M101-2 set?

Great job, Max! A grand story that was made possible by Vancouver's historic baseball treasure.

Cheers,
