Mayo John Dunlop Auction

[TanksAndSpartans]

Thanks Jeff. I figured GG would have something - I put it on my To Do list to order that back issue.

On a related note - I see what you mean about Hinkey now - wow lots of articles about him. Where are you with the set btw? You just need the Dunlop?

Looking at John's articles, a number of the players coached in the college ranks - as for the pros, he mentions that Frank Hinkey coached the Dayton Triangles of the NFL in 1921 and Thomas Trenchard played for professional football teams in Western Pennsylvania including Latrobe and Allegheny - a lot of the players pictured served in the Spanish American War and some in WW I

Thanks Mike - sounds like good reading - first I'm hearing of Hinkey coaching the Triangles.

Jeff, you must really like this set - please pm me your list of duplicates - I'd like to have a low grade example of one of these in my collection.

It really wasn't on purpose that I ended up with two but I do LOVE this set. I put together one and finished it in 2013 and then lucked into a chance to pick up another with a bunch of higher grades in it than I had. Since I was looking to upgrade my set anyway, this helped a lot. Been upgrading ever since and that means I've collected up some triples.

Was originally going to sell off my 2nd set like I did my 2nd Chicle set but decided to hang onto it for a while.

P.S. The article on Mayo in Gridiron Greats spans three issues. One article is on Yale players, one is on Princeton, and the last on Harvard.

For my second set ;-) It's no great secret as they are both listed on the SGC registry but I have two complete sets of Mayos minus one Dunlop. Have had plenty of chances to pick up a second but would rather spend the $$$ on something else.

Selling my triples and quadruples for anyone interested ...
