Buck Barker writing on card backs

[sb1]

Looking to see how many folks have cards with Buck's notes, stats and writing on the back. I know one sold on the BST a few weeks back. Please post if you have some. I am sure folks that just thought some kid wrote on their cards will be pleasantly surprised.

They are found mostly on the backs of Old Judges. I have a few right now, purchased from the last B & L Auction.

I used to have a lot of T207's with red ink info, and have encountered T205 & T206's as well.

If you only knew how to scan

All I can help out with is a stamp, which is fairly common.....he was a very prolific "stamper"...

Leon- wouldn't the scans of the backs still be on your website? By the way, love the boxing card you pulled out of the Mecca pack. Looks like a 92!

Hey Barry
It was actually a bit exciting. I know it's not worth much but to open a pack of 100 yr old cigarettes and find a card in it, in pristine condition...just made my jaw drop for a second. I really couldn't believe it. The tax stamp on it had been broken but you could tell it had been in there forever. And I have no idea how long I have had that pack. I think the centering would hold it to an 8 but it is really that nice, even under magnification. I will see what I can do about other Buck scans from the site....You are correct on that one. Nice scan you posted though. take care

Barry-are you collecting cards again? I thought you had switched over to vintage books?

Not collecting cards, just selling a few. Here's a scan of one:

Barker was this legendary collector, but he was also this citizen librarian/baseball fan who wrote on EVERYTHING. I have Charles Conlon contact prints with Barker's distinctive printing on the verso documenting whatever team the subject played for. He also did this with Reach guides.
