There are a little over 200 cards and there will be quite a few Sweet Caporal pins (still on the way to us).

I am told there is a neat picture of the collector riding one of those high wheel bicycles, which we will share too. The Great Niece, the consignor, is going to do the write up for us to share. As most of us do, I find it really interesting to see "virgin" to the hobby cards. How the borders are, their brightness, what mfg's they were etc...This gentleman looks to have smoked Sweet Caporal, American Beauties, Cycles and Piedmonts mostly. As far as I know the lady is sending us the whole collection, most of it is in hand now. Like I said, not a big one, but a nice one...I would call it vg+ with a few lesser and a few better. The best ones will be graded. Those Broadleafs shown are as nice as they look. I am crossing my fingers on their grades .

Just occurred to me, maybe a pedigree of "The Luckey Find" would bring some more $.
