It was indeed a clever use of words.

It would be nice if Bruce answered Frank's question. Frank took the time to give a detailed response, and when you start a thread you should pay attention to what people have to say.

Just my two cents.

Just speaking for myself, I would be pretty skeptical about any CJ in an 8 or 9 holder.

Three comments

1. The real typo is the very fact that JIM VB is still alive and kicking with his
silly comments. When one is discussing the subject of condensation, one need look no further than the few remaining brain (brainless) cells in this low life red neck's excuse for a mind

2. We do respond to posts, but in the 90 minutes between the time we originally posted and the time we were "bashed' for not posting, we were working with a client in Greece on a $1000 hour consulting project.

3. As for Mr. Suggs- we recently obtained his card from a Board Member who responded to one of our most recent America's Toughest Want List posts.

Jim VB

The BS Meter you created is designed for you. In fact, it would be best
if we you threw you in the barn with a bunch of smelly old cows
horses, and pigs and they could BS all over you

Of course, we would be happy to challenge you with regard to either the Suggs card or the consulting assignment. How does $10,000 sound.

We're sure it is about time to go feed the pigs and the other members of your family. Keep up good work, Mr. BS

You're absolutely correct. We have reservations this evening at the Mansion on Turtle Creek. I should hurry.

after all these years, nobody is more interesting than bruce(s). he does have some incredible material, who else could call jim vb a brainless redneck and no one is really offended by it. it does seem he was trolling a bit to obtain some tough cards, or information for this subset. never-the-less its always an entertaining read with his and all the others comments.

1915 cracker jacks in psa 8 seem to be quite available, perhaps alot of sets were sent from the factory in those days and kept safe. 1914 is another story entirely, randy stuckemeyers set (on the sgc registry) is astonishing.

bruce owns perhaps one of the most incredible small group of cards in the hobby, an intact 4 panel group of 1914 boston garters (if he hasnt sold it off)

bruce, if you are reading this, what are the players on the piece?

Jim VB · #11 07-31-2010, 05:48 PM

Rand,

You weren't greatly offended by the mean, hurtful, names Bruce called me??? I was crushed I tell you, just crushed.

Wow. You must have thick skin!

(See for yourself who is on the panel. Looks like Chance, Bescher, Clarke and Chase.)

barrysloate · #12 07-31-2010, 05:48 PM

Well this may not have been the response I was anticipating...but at least Bruce responded.

We will we never sell this item, but we plan to leave it to a museum
which will obtain a large part of our collection

There are two HOF's and two non-HOF on the sheet. It can be found in several books including Baseball Archaeology-photography by Brett Wills

We will soon be commissioning Mr. Wills to catalog our entire collection
and we will sell as a table top book

The aforementioned Garter Sheet can be found page 47 of the book
Players are: Chance, Clarke, Besher and Hal Chase.

To the best of our knowledge this is the only known such sheet

Remarkably it was discovered in 1985 by Mr. Mint who had no idea what it was. He sold it to Mastro who sold it to Lifson who sold it to me

By the way Rand, you are absolutely correct on this. The 1914 cards were only available in boxes of Cracker Jacks, so their condition is usually rough. The 1915 were available through the mail and they seem to have held up much better.
