FOR SALE: "Scrapps" Near Set (14 of 18)

[rhettyeakley]

I have decided to part with my Scrapps near set (including 3 of the 4 HOFers). Over half the cards in this grouping are very presentable with great fronts, however, there are some lower grade cards as well, and one or two fillers. All of these exhibit some evidence of having been in a scrapbook at one point, whether that be glue residue or staining or some glue still present and some do exhibit some paper loss. Those with experience with this set know the extremely thin cardstock and the difficulty in finding even presentable cards.

Front scans are below for all 14 cards in this lot.

The full Scrapps set is mad up of 18 cards, so the purchaser would only be 4 cards away from a truly tough 19th Century set, and if they are so inclined my brother (Rhys) currently has a nice Sam Thompson on his website www.prewarsports.com that would only leave 3 cards for completion (Getzein, Rowe, and White).

Price: Priced to sell at $4000 for the entire group, email me at rhettyeakley@netzero.com
