Canadian Pre-War Baseball cards

Blair,

Your C46 Phelps is the nicest C46 I have ever seen. Tough to find a nicer one I'm sure!

Mr. Burns once gave Homer this Joe DiMaggio RC (1936 World Wide Gum #51) instead of $5 for Christmas. It's a kick to see The Simpsons get a detail like this correct, even if they changed the number slightly.

Neat! Makes you wonder if Matt Groening is a vintage card collector too...

Hi Patrick,

Thanks! Ahhh...only now just clued in that he was a catcher - your area of great expertise!

With C46 cards, I tend to go for them if they are in real nice grades. If I can grab 7s, 7.5s or 8s for a fair price I usually jump. Don't see many 8s though!

Cheers,
Blair

Not mine (although the card at the very top of my want list).

1939 v351 Canadian Ted Williams, the TOUGHEST of all the Ted rookie cards. Card is very similar to the 1939 Goudey R303-A except smaller.


Editted: Just looked at my Ted want list and the second card is also Canadian (although not pre-war), the 1954 Topps Canadian Ted Williams #1, gray back. DARN YOU CANADA!

Brent,
Send me your address. I will come for a visit during harvest season.

You can even have any purchases shipped to my house and I will bring them over the border, saving $$$$$$ on Canadian shipping costs. Least I could do.

Sounds great Dave, I'll have the poutine ready for you!
All joking aside, I have seen a couple Williams gray backs at dealers here, but they were only low to mid grade examples. I'll keep my eyes open for you.

Have a great New Years eve!

Regards,
Brent
