Show us your cards from famous collections/finds (Lionel Carter,Skydash,Nagy,Etc)

[Natswin2019]

I recently picked up this card with a Skydash Collection label on the flip. This is the first card from a big hobby find or famous collection that I've ever owned and it was really cool reading up on the history of this find, especially since it sounds like it originated from a post here on Net54. I've seen a bunch of different labels on flips from other collections and finds such as the Lionel Carter Collection, Nagy and Black Swamp. So if you've got some, let's see them!

Not a card, but my only famous collection item is a picture of Joe Dimaggio in the the 1939 WS versus Cincinnati. It's from the George Michael (sports broadcaster) collection.

Two from Jefferson Burdick and four (purportedly) from F Scott Fitzgerald.

I picked up a couple from hobby pioneer Lionel Carter's collection.

This is from the Lionel Carter Collection. I am tempted to crack it out of the slab because my set is in a binder.

Well if that's the case.. Here's a Foxx Blank Back Rookie from that find! Beautiful stuff in this thread. I "of course" Love the Matty!

Guys- Great cards. I recently picked up this '34 Zeenut DiMaggio & I'm starting to think that it may have been a Barker card at one time. There was no mention of provenance during the sale. The "SF" looks similar to me. What do you guys think?

Greenies with Pedigree.

If you collect Obaks, it's hard not to have some Pollards. Here are eight of the thirteen I have.

Funny how Lionel Carter was such a stickler for near-mint cards and would often refuse off-condition cards for his collection. Yet, he had quite a few beaters. My guess was that those cards came from John D. Wagner or perhaps Buck Barker as fillers? Whatever the case may be, those guys had a vision to create a hobby which has done a lot to bring myself and others great joy.

Also have photo of these in Lionel Carter’s original binder.
