One of the Greatest Type Collections Assembled

[ValKehl]

I, too, have saved the 2015 Heritage auction catalog for the sale of Leon's fantastic first type collection. But, you don't need the Heritage catalog to see it because Leon makes both his present and past collections available via the "VINTAGE LINKS" section of this forum, and I have referred to it many times over the years. Here's the link to it: https://www.luckeycards.com/personal.html

I was thrilled (and still am) to win these 5 cards, including 2 cards for my Jennings back run, in the Heritage auction:

That WaJo is pretty amazing, Val, never seen that before. Is that a one of a kind as far as you know?

we had one a year or so ago when we had a bunch of them in one auction (we actually added several names to the known checklist) Here's a link:

A Luckey Collection card via Sterling.

Does anybody know who won the 1915 W-Unc Jim Thorpe? I've been waiting for this card to re-appear ever since this auction.

Any help would be appreciated.

On my want list as well. Great card

Maybe Yogi was right because it was deja vu all over again for me seeing your remarkable type collection again.. But remember you did the noble thing. Education should take precedence over, perhaps sadly, cards.
I recall how delighted I was to land the E92 Crofts Red Davis, and I am certain that that card now resides in the proper family. And, of course, the '38 Goudey JD was, If I recall correctly, purchased by you by Full Count in about '97 or '98.
Man, you had some cards!

This was my haul from Leon's auction. I've since sold a few of them, but kept most. Definitely a great collection.

Yes, the Davis has been reunited with the Miller, Bemis, and Bescher and few other red family members. As recently posted, the E78 Young is also with them.

Super Great card! I love that set and hopefully, one day, I will own some of them. The Thorpe will likely be out of my league considering how many players are interested in it. Would love to know what it would sell for today.

Hank, my card is the only example in SGC's pop report, and I don't see any from this set in PSA's pop report. Trying to search for these cards in Scott's/The Collector Connection's archives was anything but "a piece of cake" for me - I gave up.

I believe this is the full group of them:

Brian, were you able to find these cards by clicking on this link? I sure wasn't. Maybe it's because I'm an old fart whose PC skill isn't so great.

Hi Val, Scott's link took me to a page that showed "W-UNC" for a specific 'Non-Sports & Comics IX' in the browse section, which was not an accurate auction selection. Under this "Browse" section I dropped down and changed the selection to 'All', and that did the trick.

Exactly ... choosing 'All Auctions' in the drop-down did the trick.

Here's the Wajo (https://thecollectorconnection.com/b...x?itemid=23324) - looks like there were 19 all told, 7 of which were listed as 'New Discovery' (6 new + 1 duplicate), and 9 as 'Only graded Example'
