Raw Cards

[tedzan]

Posted at every show that I set up at is this sign of mine.






Yes, I have a few graded cards in my collection....but, those cards are on hold, till I replace them with
their ungraded equivalents. Then these graded ones will be sold or traded.

I'm a baseball card collector and I "caress" old cardboard. There, I said it!

Lovely Day...

Nice sign, Ted.

Jim, do you have that Sky Birds folder completed?? That is one complex set. The Indians are even more complicated, but I find the National Chicle's Sky Birds one fine set. I'm several cards short... It isn't a set to be completed very quickly.

Indian Gum is completed, but only as a 216 card numerical set, not the 432 card Master set. I'm dumb, but not that stupid.

In Sky Birds, I'm about 8 cards short of the 108 card numerical set. Again, not really interested in the Master set

I'm with you on the Sky Birds, I have 3 or 4 "extra" cards in the middle, there, that could go toward the master set. But 108 seems a sufficient goal.

Sometimes I think there are more T206 complete sets (with Wagner, Plank, and Magie) than there are 108 card Sky Bird sets out there. I'm thinking you've seen the article about Sky Birds that was in The Wrapper years ago?

I also agree that raw cards are awesome. I like putting them in binders and am currently working on a raw 1933 Goudey set. I just think that cards are more fun when you can hold them in your hand or flip through a binder full of them and pop one out and examine it.

I agree with you. I am dealing with it every day in my job also, and even at church. Hypocricy is the norm in politics also.
