The Most Difficult Card On Your Want List

[mark evans]

Well, if you exclude unique cards (Balt. News Zinn) and cards that may not exist (Voskamp Coffee Mensor), then I would say 1952 Globe Printing Padres card of Al Richter. I found one (not for sale) and assume others are out there somewhere.

I would like one of these... this one is not mine.



And this condition would be good enough...

PCL exhibit Earl Averill, 26 Exhibit Bill Terry and two I probably can't afford 1911 Gilmartin SF Seals card (any player) & 1955 Felin Franks Phillies card (full panel).

...to cross a signed T206 of Cobb off my list last night, but the bidding got away from me. So for the foreseeable future, the most difficult card on my wantlist remains a signed T206 Cobb...

Paul, that price was crazy in my opinion and I'm a Cobb collector. I can think of a lot of Cobb cards I'd rather have than that for the same $.

You could buy two brown Lenox Lajoies for that kind of cash and still have money left over for ice cream.

True.... Unfortunately T206 backs are meaningless to me, and owning a T206 card actually signed by the player is amazing and brings the card to life for me. But the point is well taken and I am sure the money saved will be put to good collecting use!!

Hey, Mark. Do you know if the Robinson exists in the Voskamp Coffee set? I haven't been able to verify that either it or the Mensor exists.

I have no doubt you'll get one, in higher grade, for half the price.

nice!



for me - my current toughest would be an FJ Smith Vardon. Kicking myself for letting that one go on eBay this year.

No idea, Brian. I'm not knowledgeable about the set but perhaps other Board members might weigh in.

To the best of my knowledge, neither Robinson nor Mensor have ever been confirmed. There was at one time a collection of 18 floating around...it changed hands a couple times that I'm aware of. I have no idea where it resides now, or if it's even still in tact. Anyway, I spoke with one of the one-time owners of that 18 card collection a few years ago and he confirmed that it was missing both Robinson and Mensor.

Regards,

Richard.

E135 and Boston Store Hornsby

For me it is an E125 Bridwell. I had a chance a couple years ago to pick one up, but the card was incomplete (missing his glove) so I passed. I haven't seen a complete one since.

Not the most expensive card, but I have never seen a t206 Meyers(portrait) with an El Principe De Gales back. Would love to see a scan if someone has one.
