nice cards! unfortunately every time I find one for sale I like at auction, it quickly jumps out of my price range. one day ...

This is one of my favorites because it has a nice clean back. Definitely fun cards to look at.

Thank you to everyone who has shared thus far.

Cheers,
Steve

PS - I hope the attachments upload properly...I'm trying to do this from my phone. I think they are appearing way too small...

I'm sorta interested in a Red Cross (Type 1) but only if it's a Detroit Tiger. So if anybody has one to sell, let me know. SGC preferred.

This is a Type 1. 2 similar condition Type 2's closed on eBay this afternoon for over $300 each. They had writing, heavy wear, and a hole punched in the card.

I bid on them, but I didn't think they would go for more than $150 each and I was at work when the auctions closed, so I was blown out of the water.

It is surprising how many of these cards, both Type I and Type 2, have a hole punched in the card, and 2 numbers on the back, with a line through one of the numbers.

I wonder if these cards could be redeemed for something, such as tobacco or cigarettes?

I haven't been able to get a T214 yet, but it is on my want list, along with a Type 2 Red Cross.

Hey Rick (and others),

I'm the knucklehead that bought the two horrible condition cards on ebay today. I honestly thought they would cost me maybe $130 each. Had it not been for one other person on each, they would have been $200. But I had a couple of beers last night and put in a higher snipe than I otherwise would have. (Don't drink and snipe?)

So I'm the idiot that overpaid, but I like them. I have one other with a hole punch and writing...I thought they belonged together.

Cheers,
Steve

Nice cards Scott and Jerry. Victory's are my favorite issue. I've sold most of my Baseball cards, but I still have one T214 left and easily my favorite Tinker pose.

Mine too, I just remember buying a small group of cards from a collector from Arkansas that was at the show and I am nearly certain his name was Jerry as well.
