Seth,
Great selection as usual. One problem though on lot #370. I am so tired of seeing this PSA mistake...the card is not the rarer Pete Wood (a pitcher) but George Wood (the left fielder). PSA label mistake here. You may want to note that in your auction.

Joshua,

Thank you for pointing this out. The lot description has been updated and I will be resubmitting the card to be labeled correctly. It will go to the highest bidder with the correct "George Wood" label.

Best,
Seth

Hi Seth,

Thank you for posting your auction. In the description for your e99 you say that it has the rare light blue background. Please forgive my ignorance, but could you point me to the source that light blue is rarer than the other colors? I would love to find a ranking of color rarity. Thanks.

Dan,

In the auction description I mention, "This card has a scarce light blue background". I am not saying that blue is scarcer than red. I would rate both red and blue as scarce. I updated the description to remove the word "scarce" to prevent any confusion. I could see how you read it that way. Thank you for pointing that out.

PSA has graded one Dillon (PSA 1), and SGC has graded three (SGC 10, SGC 20, SGC 30). There is no designation of color out of the four (total population) that have been graded.

If you see anything else, please email me directly at seth@19thcenturyonly.com.

Seth

Hi Seth,

Thanks for the clarification. I was hoping you had a source I was missing on Bishops. I look forward to bidding in the auction.

Hi Seth- purely for the sake of accuracy, Harry Wright never played alongside Alexander Cartwright on the Knickerbockers. Cartwright moved to Hawaii in 1849; Wright didn't join the Knicks until a decade later.

But great cabinet, and why did they only grade it Authentic? Nothing was wrong with it, as far as I could see.

Edited to add you explained the reason for the Auth. Still looks great to me.

Seth,

Any PSA 8s/SGC88s or better?

Barry, Thank you, I've adjusted the description and removed "alongside Alexander Cartwright". To answer your question about the authentic grade, it is specified in the description of the lot. Take a look at the 2nd paragraph. It's a great cabinet.

Jim, Yes there are PSA8's and PSA9's in the auction, mostly WG2, and WG3's. You can preview the auction at http://www.19thcenturyonly.com
