My neighbor across the street is 99...I've tried to engage him in discussions about baseball cards, hoping he'll tell me about "all the cards he got back in 1915..." but that never happens!

The Saier and Tyler are amazing! Those are really tough cards. Good luck with them.

I wonder who smoked all the cigarettes as it probably wasn't the 101 year old. Great find and I will be watching the t207's especially. Good job Leon.

My understanding is the 101 yr old gentleman smoked them as a young man. As for those T207s, I don't want to jinx them, but when I put them under high magnification on the corners there is almost no fuzz ...They will be sent for grading on Monday.......we shall see.

I spoke with the consignor this morning. She said she will do a write up this week and I will be able to post it. I am pretty sure it will include some neat pictures. Also, I guess the gentleman who originally collected these might not have been a smoker. We'll see what more comes out as she converses with the family. As for a count of cards, it is 225. Scott and I are sending in around 20 to be graded today, SGC of course. There will also be some Sweet Caporal pins but they are being sent this week so not sure what they entail. The breakdown is as follows on the cards...

T205- 8 w/assorted backs but no real rare ones..common players
T207- 2 Broadleafs which are getting graded and 9 Recruits...all commons

T206- (3-4 have the GOOD stamp on back?)

AB350 no frame... 1
AB350 w/frame... 19
Cycle 350... 36
Cycle 460... 1
EPDG... 1
Old Mill... 1
Pied 150... 4
Pied 350... 40
Pied 350/460... 1 (not fact 42)
Polar Bear... 7
SC150... 36
SC350... 53
SC 350/460... 2
Tolstoi... 4

So there you have it.......

The two Broadleafs are the plums of the collection.
