Incredible card, always great to see new vintage cards discovered. I’ve seen these cards, very rare. Tim Keefe invented the change up, I have his highest graded 1888 Goodwin card, PSA 8. An incredible underrated pitcher.

Nice! I didn’t turn up that little fact in my research!

Was fun to hear Keefe’s name. My oldest card is of him.

Attic Find Fridays are top tier RU-vid content.. love all the stories. I just imagine, as I am sure we all do, coming across one of these ‘finds.’ The obscurity of these types of cards outweigh coming across a more valuable well-known card in my opinion. I’ve found some Bell Brand Potato Chip Dodgers sets, Red Rose baseball sets.. The famous 7-11 Cards!

@Bostnfn 3 месяца назад

I don't delve at all into the pre-1900's stuff at all, but this is a really cool find. Imagine owning the only something known to exist in an antique/collectibles market that is popular. That would be pretty cool. And not a manufactured 1/1, but the only one to have survived kind of 1/1. That's just awesome.

@JunkWaxHero 3 месяца назад

Exactly my feeling

@Michaeljamber 3 месяца назад

Wow i figured they would of sold for more even though it was pre pandemic. I would of just kept them for that much. The Tobacco can itself was probably more than the card. Just think about the name yum yum lol for Tobacco what a way to get you started back then. Advertising has changed a lot from then till now. Great video mike.

We had a card from John's collection that was the only one ever graded by SGC or PSA. A 1928 Greiner's Bread Waite Hoyt. PSA has graded only 9 cards from the set and SGC just 3. John's was the only Hoyt. Heritage has 6 of the PSA graded ones up for auction right now.

Never heard of this set. Something like that would be nice to have. I have a couple 1888 Allen and Ginter cards. One is graded and the other isn’t. Neither are of baseball players. Planning to show them off sometime soon.

I'm out to find the most rarest card of all time no matter what sport or activity I'm looking for it. Imagine finding a 1914 Babe Ruth Rookie in it's original package.

@Toppstraded13 3 месяца назад

I had a similar issue. Sometimes rare cards are tough to sell. I bought a raw 1902-03 E107Breisch-Williams card for $20 on whatnot. lol. Less than 8 known copies exist between SGC and PSA. SGC graded it a 1.5. I had a difficult time selling it but I found someone willing to trade me a nice koufax rookie for it. I used the koufax and some cash to get into a low grade 51 Mays. Not a bad $20 Whatnot find. Lol

Those sepia cards must have been a thing in 1888 cuz I have a Sweet Caporal sepia card of an actress from '88. I also have a James Corbett (boxer) tobacco card from I believe 1925 but I can't remember from which company.

@kenrogers1948 3 месяца назад

How about a 'my attic find' Friday once-in-a-while?.. As to the 19th century cards, yeah, they seem to have a considerably smaller collecting audience than early 20th century cards... physically(other than the Allen&Ginter) they're pretty drab and faded, so they lack some intrinsic appeal...

@JunkWaxHero 3 месяца назад

True. What do you mean about “my attic find”?

@kenrogers1948 3 месяца назад

I don't have a great card attic find... a modest one, maybe... but I bet other channel viewers do... I'll email you my story

@loserjew 3 месяца назад

The real question is how much did 50 tobacco tins cost versus the cost of one tin lunchbox? The next question is how many lunchboxes were redeemed and what did the tobacco company do with all of the cards returned to them?

@JunkWaxHero 3 месяца назад

Yeah both good questions that I couldn’t find answers to. Btw I mailed your stuff yesterday! Sorry about the long delay.

@loserjew 3 месяца назад

@@JunkWaxHero, thank you for signing and sending them. You could have simply blamed the delay on USPS.
