Wow, that guy at the back right (Cuban card) has to be almost 7 ft. tall , right??

No kidding!! Actually before this auction took place, there was some speculation that the standing giant MIGHT in fact, be the great Hall-of-Fame pitcher, Smokey Joe Williams! But alas, after quite a bit of thoughtful research and image comparisons from fellow board members, a consensus was reached that it's probably not he. But the player sitting at far right is definitely Alejandro Oms - a guy with a decent shot at the Hall, someday. I hope.

Another T206 HOFer pickup...

Recently picked up this e90-1 Fromme. It replaces one that I had but went to another member and I couldn't be happier to have another one.

Eat your hearts out guys!

..Took seven or eight years but I finally found another 1933 Worch Cigar Premium of Detroit Tigers pre-rookie Gerald "Gee" Walker , with most all its original gloss and which does not have sixteen pinholes ( 16 !! ) ( I held it up to a light bulb and counted ).......his rookie card had been considered the 1934 Goudey issue......strange but I sort of lean towards preferring to look at the old one --because you can better view that cool old guy up in the stands and his neat hat...

Scott B, congratulations on set completion. Those are stunning!

Many thanks to a fellow collector who reached out to me privately on these and and then assisted on guiding them into my collection.

Original OBAK Cigarettes shipping crates. To say that these are over sized would be an understatement. Their BIG!!

Grand children shown did not come with the crates
