I was watching that as well - it sat at $10 until the final day and I figured it would jump, but wasn't quite expecting that much!
Glad it went to you, Greg - one step closer! |

Thank you Scott! I am very excited this card appeared at all, I've been trying to find out if it's real since the 649 was discovered a long time ago. Sort of a 'budget white whale' in and of itself separate from a master chase.
I may not reach 100%, but 98% ain't too bad and 3 of the 13 left are fairly easy. Thank you for all the help and guidance gentlemen, for listening to my rants, theories and projects about this set and figuring out what there even is to chase together, and for the generosity in sharing, sending or selling your cards this way. I wouldn't be nearly this close if I was still solely trolling eBay listings. Cliff, Dave, Scott, George, David L (if you're still lurking) thank you gentlemen. This little side board is great. |

Hello everyone on this thread. I have read with great interest all of the posts and am impressed with all of the expertise and camaraderie.
I have recently come into possession (they were gathered by a past family member) of a booklet of "Champion Athlete and Prize Fighter" cards (some labelled Series 2). I am looking for information regarding them. Most of them do not have any adds on their backs (does that mean that they are Canadian cards? which would make sense given where in the family they were collected). I think most of the cards are in decent condition (so any information concerning proper handling of them would also be appreciated). I also have a bunch of "Cowboy Series" and "Indian Life in the '60'S" and one "Wild Animals of Canada" cards. Any help is appreciated. Thanks |

Hey Dave - welcome! Definitely sounds like you came upon the Canadian version of the T218s, which are known via the catalog code of C52. We've got a long thread going about these as well:
C52 thread The C52 cards are very hard to find, compared to the T218s - though there aren't a lot of folks assembling sets of these (I'm one who is though!). There typically may be a small premium over the T218s for the C52s. The Jack Johnson is definitely the prize of the set, and likely would sell for a few hundred even in rough shape, and just go up from there! Would love to hear / see more about what you have, and potentially would have some interest in these if you're looking to sell! Scott And sorry, I don't really know anything about the Cowboy and other series you had mentioned.... |

The Cowboy Series cards would be T53. They were issued with Hassan backs from two factories, 49 cards to a set. Going off memory, I believe they are a late 1909 set. Some clones of the artwork were issued in subsequent years, so if your cards have different advertising form Hassan they are from one of these cloned sets. The Indian Life in the 60's series would be T73, 50 in a set. Issued with Hassan, and US Marine. US Marine backs are much tougher and carry a good premium. T53 and T73 are not very valuable, but they are very cool cards. I have a set of T53 from both factories. Nice find! |

Adding that the non-sports side hosts a gallery of card sets that make it easy to confirm what you have.
