			A couple of tougher N284's. The George Meyers looks a lot like George Meyers, and the Deasley sort of looks like Deasley.

			Far from pre-war, but this major purchase (to go with my new set) needed to be on the front page.   Can't keep spending $ like this is 2021.... https://www.ebay.com/itm/1987-88-Fle...-/264991671319 |

			Personally, Phil, I like some staining on 1914 CJs.  It adds the character that shows it was packaged with the candy.  Sweet card.

			Phil Great looking CJ Speaker! Looks like the one Jason had in his CJ HOF Collection last year. Looks way better than a 2...PSA has been tough on CJ Speakers for some reason this past year. Tony |

 My focus is on collecting T206 front/back combinations. I have over 2000 different. Along the way I had picked up most of this subset, so I decided to complete it. (I've also completed SC150F649OP, OMSouthLg, P150 except Plank & Wagner, P350SouthLg, Polar Bear) I don't think any of this subset are particularly difficult. There are several popular subjects - 3 Chases, Red Cobb, Matty Dark, Chance, Evers, Tinker, and other HOFers. So in trying to pick them up, you are always competing with others who are just interested in the front.

			The first steps of recovery is admitting you have a problem.  Sitting in the office today getting a jump on next week and these arrived.  Is there a Collectors Anonymous support group someone can point me to... McGraw, Waner, & Cobb all on my checklist. E98 blue Clarke master set upgrade (thanks Aad), and a 1913 National Game Johnson misidentified as a Tom Barker just cuz I thought it was neat. Last edited by Casey2296; 01-02-2021 at 08:31 PM. |

			Hey guys, I recently received a super cool Christmas gift. This is an American Caramel Co. stock certificate no. 111 that is signed over to Frederick G W Breisch on May 28, 1898. The American Caramel Co. was formed in 1889 when the Breisch-Hine Co. of Philadelphia and the P. C. Wiest Co. of York, Pennsylvania, merged according to Wikipedia.  So I wonder if the Frederick G W Breisch on the certificate is the same as the Breisch from Breisch-Hines Co.  Anyway, it's a very cool piece that goes great with my E90's. Now as I said, this was a Christmas gift. It came from Phil (Casey2296) from here on the board. Phil, I am thrilled with this one! I owe you buddy. .

 I couldn't find the connection between the two. But Scott says it is. There is another signature (of the Secretary) on the certificate of a Mr. Williams and I thought it would be really cool if it were the Breisch and Williams of the E107 fame. Andy

			. Acquired in a three party trade from long time member Kevin Struss. Such a great reminder of what I really enjoy about this hobby, helping other members with their goals while meeting mine too, dealing with great people, and having fun doing it. A really enjoyable experience, this is quite a special place and I'm grateful for the people here. Excited to add a Type 1 Texas Tommy to my collection. |
