Most of my graded card favorites as it stands today.
I'm not adding much these days as I'm on a break from the hobby! There are great cards from my youth and many with a neat history! Great memories and fun for my enjoyment and anyone looking. When I can, I love adding cards with provenance!
Hope you get to browse and enjoy the cards below. Thanks!

7 T206 Eddie Collins Philadelphia Piedmont 350 Back PSA 2
Originally assembled by a former employee of the American Tobacco Company, presumably someone who worked at Factory No. 25 in Virginia, the cards were given to a North Carolina family as a gift in the first half of the 20th century. The collection had been passed down from generation to generation until it was hidden away for years in a cigar box wrapped in aluminum foil. All the cards in what is being dubbed The Factory 25 Collection are low grade since they were treated as children’s toys the past 70 or 80 years. Fortunately, many of the cards still retain white borders, boast bright and colorful images, and are well centered. I am fortunate to add this Mathewson Portrait from this fine collection.

79 1954 New York Giants **WILLIE MAYS APPEARANCE BROCHURE** Art Flynn Gem mint - Uncirculated
80 old & original 1954 Amazin' Willie Mays advertising brochure, issued by his agent Art Flynn!! Please see all three photos, as they are an important part of my description. This brochure is guaranteed to be vintage, and not a repro! It is a one sheet "fold-over" and measures approximately 9" x 4" in its "closed form" (see first pic). Agent Art Flynn & Associates had handled such other legendary athletes as Ty Cobb and Joe DiMaggio, capitalizing on their stardom and personalities for public appearances. The company's specialty was public relations and advertising. Their newest star was the "Say Hey" kid himself, a young Willie Mays of the New York Giants!! This very cool and colorful vintage brochure was printed on thick and textured paper stock, and is a blast to read through! Outstanding oddball baseball memorabilia!!
81 Condition: the offered brochure is in **GEM SHAPE**, with no creases, stains or tears.
