For The Fellow Obak Fans

[deadballera]

still need about 25 cards for the 1910 175 series set...and around 40 cards for the 1911 set.

John, please put these sets on the SGC registry, it would be great to see how they all graded out. Thanks again.

I may add these to the Reg, good idea.

Holy %#@$! That loose pile of cards might be the coolest vintage card scan/photo I've ever seen. I'll have to think that one over, but it has to be at the top. And the cards themselves are so perfect.

Good for you John - couldn't be happier that you got these.

Hey, John,

Just got back from Chicago and saw your Obaks. Wow--they are gorgeous!

Regarding the 150 Subject backs, Bob is correct in stating that they are scarcer than most folks realize. I started collecting them a few years ago and currently have 34 of the 40. And as these scans attest, mine range in grade from the Brackenridge Ex+ to Williams, which is probably a 10 at best. Most of the rest of mine grade at 30 or 40. That being said, I grab them no matter the condition, and if anyone has a spare Hiester, Hogan, Mohler, Perry, H. Smith or Willett, I can join TBob as having a complete set!

Good luck on the quest.

Cheers, Mike

Thanks guy, thank you JoAnn for the nice words.

Mike, I knew they were tough I only have about 4 or so but I never was really activly looking but with you guys on the hunt it seems it's going to be a while unless I can talk Tbob out of his set...fat chance.LOL

Thanks for the input, BTW that Brackenridge is really nice.

Cheers,

John

I love Obaks...that loose pile would make an awesome wall poster. I compliment you on your obviously advanced piling techniques...an artistic piler by all means.
