Rawn,
Other Graded Copies ? Perhaps... (I am sure there are other raw copies) I bet whaler knows...

[carrigansghost]

Not grade, just examples of one card. I remember a photo of someone's reletive that had his copies dominoed acrossed the floor, great shot!! I'll see what I can do.

I think that was me

I am not sure about PSA, but I know there are a couple other SGC slabs out there.
The player is my great-grandfather, Frank Miller.

Frank Miller, that the player, yup good to see you back on the board again. Show us the shot that I refered to please, it's what was my introduction to the addiction.

I enjoyed spending a 1200% premium for the Frank Miller card for my 1910 Obak set. That was a high point for me.

Was this the one?

[carrigansghost]

That's the one, thank you.

Anthony, I have no idea the value of Miller cards. I have, however, given away 6 Carrigan T206 cards this year. I have seen prices go up in the last 3 years that I have been a fan, but it's my thing and make no excuses for my addictions.

Go ahead, man - it's a free country. At least three of our brethren have hit a dead end trying to finish 1910 Obaks because they lack the San Fran Miller. Goodwin had one in that terrific auction a few months ago that was top heavy with Obaks. Here is the link to the archived lot: http://www.goodwinandco.com/LotDetail.aspx?lotid=16154 It went for $390 which is not cheap but a lot less than I thought such a difficult (!) card would go for. Let's hope it was won by either Anthony, Brian or Tim. Dude, I am glad you aren't related to Ty Cobb. It could get kind of expensive (plus I need a few of Uncle Ty's cards).

Well I thought I had one, but mine is a Seattle Miller...

I picked up the card in the Goodwin auction, but it looks like Anthony was able to get one for his set (post #50).
I do not post here often, because whenever I share my collection it tends to raise the blood pressure of a certain few. I can understand their frustration; everyone wants to get the cards that they want at the price that they want, but if a card of a family member is worth more to me than a card of just another random player to fill a hole in a set is to someone else, so be it. The cards are out there (the Goodwin auction as an example) and I have no delusion of owning every card in existence. I collect the cards that I enjoy, just like everyone else here.

1935 Party Stunts; each set has 72 cartoon game cards. Almost all are non-sport, but two are named baseball players. One is Babe Ruth and the other is Ty Cobb. There are five different box types that I know of.
