I saw this listing but knew there is at least one Tisdel collector so I kept on scrolling, even though I need this card.

Mike,

The Griffith only went for $43. I had placed a marker bid of $50 because my ebay watchlist was full and I ended up winning the card.

I mostly look for Buck Barker backs so this Tisdel Griffith will probably end up in an auction in the near future.

There was a Zeenut on ebay yesterday that had a Barker-style write-up on the back that I was about to snipe when my computer froze, probably a good reason to bid earlier.

Nice, I'm known by my quirky collection

I'm just glad you won and Frank didn't. I don't like hoarders and that is what he was trying to do...

I just read this entire thread. Does three examples qualify as hoarding?

I didn't say he was doing a good job, just said he was trying. You gotta cut him off early before the sickness sets in. Don't need to see him get up to, say 35 of them, then it is officially hoarding. 34 is fine though if you stop there

Oh I'm sorry, my "tongue in cheek" filter was on. I understand now

Ed,

So Howe McCormick played the trombone. Great discovery.

Sifting through the archives of musical history. I have been unable to verify Nelson Tisdel's musical instrument or preference, but I have discovered that Scott Tisdel is the principal cellist for the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra.

Certainly the resemblance to Nelson is unquestioned.

Obviously musical talent and a propensity to stamp vintage cards must be located on the same gene. I will try to find out what Scott is stamping these days other than his foot in time with the music.
