Unrelated Story:

I attended a very cool original estate find auction Saturday of single owner 1930s gum cards. The cards were found in a 90 year old gentleman's house who passed away. The cards were found in paper sandwich bags I believe.

It was an amazing collection, displayed on the auction tables and the baseball cards were absolute blazers!!

They looked pack fresh in many cases.

My dad, who will be 90 in November and collected during this era always told me that the Indian cards were way more popular than the baseball to the kids. He told me he used to trade baseball to get Indians he needed. Way cool!

Now for the funny part, I am standing next to 3 guys probably in their 30s and listening to them. They were discussing how the cards were trimmed and that the owner must have bought them in the 1980s before the fabulous 3rd party grading was around.

ok drool I don't see a face puking so I will use the drool.

Not a single card was trimmed, it was so obvious that this was an original childhood collection that I just had to laugh.

I love competition like that at auctions.

The amazing part, the baseball cards were in blazing condition but... the Indians were VG and showed the most wear!!

How neat! Just like Pops told me.

The Tootsie Circus cards were gorgeous and brough double what I expected

The nicest Ruth brought $4K raw

I was fortunate enough to get a few things but it was really enjoyable seeing a FRESH to the hobby collection like that being offered raw.

The auction was in York PA and can be easily found on auction zip.

Thanks for reading

FANTASTIC Ewing card Dan, thanks for following up with the scan. I don't believe I've seen that pose on any other Ewing card, including his N172 poses. I'm guessing there's an identical OJ pose though?

I kinda get annoyed when people assume that anything that isn't slabbed is automatically trimmed or altered in some way. Trust your own eyes and intuition! I suppose in cases like this, it could result in a better deal for you thought. Hope you scored something nice for your collection/inventory.

ps. we DO have a barf smiley! puke

Certainly a unique Ewing pose I haven't seen before either.

Sadly, we are going to see more and more collectors like those guys you saw because no one handles raw cards anymore. Without that experience of handling raw cards, you don't know what you are looking at when you do see them raw and just assume that something is wrong because they aren't graded.

That's a gorgeous card, great image, I'm as jealous as one can get!

I bought this GQ last week of Corcoran, very light image but still happy to have it.
