I know that I told Leon this story years ago, but...

Sometime during the "rookie craze" of the late 1980s, I haggled with a guy over about 60 1928 Greiner's Bread cards, if memory serves.

However, we couldn't find them in any guides at the time (Yuenglings and Tharps, sure, but NOT Greiner's) and therefore we couldn't agree on price.

He DID sell me the 2 duplicates that he had for what seemed like A LOT then! I think that I paid ~$25 for them!

They were black and white bread cards and the hobby wasn't all the hot for such obscure stuff...

They still are the only 2 that PSA has graded, I think!
