Type Card Collection On The Block

[Exhibitman]

I've just signed a contract to sell my international boxing type card collection via Robert Edward Auctions. I don't know the exact dates yet. The collection consists of about 600 different types of cards from all over the world, postcard sized and smaller. I believe it will be broken down generally as follows:

1. UK cards
2. European cards
3. Latin American cards
4. The rest of the world's cards

They may opt to further break out some of the larger groups by country, or some of the tougher ones as well, like Cuba. I don't know but I will be working with them on it.

I am not quitting collecting. The reason I am selling is that I am considering a move across the country in approximately two years, and I have decided to lighten up my collection before I go. If this sale goes well, I expect to consign premiums, photos and larger items after that.

There will also be a separate sale of cabinet cards.

Adam,
Congratulations. I look forward to seeing what comes up on REA. Especially the cabinet cards.
Wishing you the best of luck in the auctions.

Good luck, Adam. "Bigs" are tougher to haul than "smalls."

Tell me about it. Now that I am doing shows again, large items and publications are the bane of my existence. That stuff is heavy!

There are also a bunch of cabinets in the auction. The 11 card lot has a few sleepers in there, including a rare white mount M125 New York Illustrated News Tommy Ryan (HOF).

[ShoeMan]

I don't see all of the cards you mention.
I know I've seen the Tommy Ryan before, but I do not see it this morning.
Once again is it just me?
