Plow boy cards

[fisherman451]

Hi,
Newcomer to this site.
I was a cardshop owner in early 90s then got out then back in 1997 to 2001, the industry has changed with the internet.
Got rejuvenated when an old customer contacted me and said he had some old cards and wanted to know what to do with them. I said i would look at them and came to discover his grandfather had given them to him in 1960. He put them away and never thought much more about them, came across them and called me. They are PLOW BOY tabacco cards,1910-1912 53/4 inches by 8 inches,they have a clear back. I had heard about them but had actually never seen or touched them. I have now seen them and looked at them, he has several. My intention is to guide him in contacting PSA or SGA. for grading.
Putting this out there to shake the bushes,feel free to comment
Thank Jim

Hey Jim
Good idea getting those authenticated.
There will be nothing but speculation /doubt and grief until they get slabbed.
That TPG opinion will also greatly assist in actually selling the cards and maximizing profit, which sounds like the end goal.

I don't think there will be much to talk about until the scans or slabs are shown.

Greatly desired cards if they are legit.

Good luck!

but I do not think SGC would be a bad choice either. Great cards from a popular under the radar set.

Bill,

If you'd like to send those to me I can repair the pinholes with chemicals and puddy.

Hi
There are no pinholes as i noticed but i did here of pinholes in the cards after 1912 when the cards got smaller and if i an not mistaken they became plow boy candy cards.
