1869 Peck & Snyder Observation & Question
Posted By: barrysloate
As a final note: it is extremely unlikely that this collector will ever sell any part of what he owns. It will be passed down to his son, and may stay in the family for generations. So don't hold you breath on that one. But I know that at some point in the future, perhaps by next year, he will have it all available on display and will allow people to see it. But not yet. |

As long as this collector is lucky enough to have a son that appreciates the value (sentimental and historical more than monetary) of the collection and will treat it with the respect it deserves ... |

On my P and S, and ss far as I know all the ones with Mr. Peck on the back--nice to know that!-- the "C"s on the front of all the uniforms of the Cincinattis are very pale. But I saw one once--with a different back, on which the "C"s were all healthy and bright. Does anyone own this P and S, or know which back it is? |

Rather strangely, although the scope and quality of this collection is beyond anyone's comprehension, it has basically been in storage for as long as he has had it. He is currently in the process of building a wing onto his house which will be to display his many collections (besides baseball) so I guess at that time he will be happy to have visitors. And since his collection will be one of the chapters of the Smithsonian book, maybe he is ready to raise his profile a bit. If you are ever able to see it one day, you will be amazed to see just how far someone with both the resources and determination can build something so historically significant and aesthetically beautiful. I haven't even seen the whole thing, but probably nearly all of it. I have been selling rarities for 20 years and I have never handled more than a dozen or so pieces that even come close to the qulaity of this. I too am anxious to see it when it is finally all available to see. |

Would the anonymous owner of the Peck & Snyders be the same person who owns the only Just So Cy Young and 1 of the 2 Four Base Hits Kelly's? |

The "C's" are VERY clear and bold on this card ... even MORE so in person than on the scan: |

Julie, your Hugh Duffy had a bat when I owned it. It was light and did kind of blend into the background, but it was there. Maybe it got lost in the mail. |

I'm not talking about Leon. It's the guy who owns the OTHER Four Base Hits Kelly. |

I can verify that Hal is correct. If there is a Peck & Snyder with a better quality photo, I'd like to see it. The person who sold me that particular card told me that it had been in a family album most likely for 131 years, thus preserving the photo quality. They discovered it in the album in 2000 when I purchased it. |

It's not Keith, though he may be one of the few who has a collection that could rival this one. I originally thought that Keith may have been the owner as well. I've actually spoken to Keith via e-mail in the past. I saved the message to show my son when he gets older Nice guy. |

I have briefly met the mystery gentleman and he is just that..."a gentleman". I hope in due time we will be enlightened by his magnificent collection. Please don't ask as I will also "not" divulge his name. Best regards all..... |

I'm pretty sure it isn't me, as I've never met Barry and don't own any of those cards. |

Yes, Leon knows who it is. I know they have met. And he had nice things to say about Leon, too. He appreciated all the nice cards Leon had on display. |

You are correct ... I was hoping to trade him one of my extra copies for anything that he might have "doubles" of ... but apparently he has no need for it. |
