Super nice Cobbs, Jeff. I had both of those at different times, not the quality of your’s though. Also, enjoyed your recent YouTube video interview.

Here’s the Helmar Stamp of Carey:


Traded my 1896 Cameo Pepsin Pin to Jay about 7 years ago…would love to get that one back…btw, I think this particular pin was produced in 1896 - Boston Series, according to research I once saw on the matter.

Some pretty tough ones:

1909 Colgan's Chips Joe McCarthy
1909 Colgan's Chips Harry Hooper (Nat'l Variation)

Not quite a rookie, but the only other card of McCarthy as a player.
