Subject: CARDS:  Auction I --- Older Baseball Stars and Commons
Date: Fri,  1 Jan 93 13:03:00 PST
Organization: The Portal System (TM)
Distribution: world

Auction #1:  Stars and commons from 1910-1979 mostly in bad shape.
 
Everything is conservatively graded.  The VG-EX cards look very, very nice, and
many of the poor cards are trimmed or scuffed but otherwise look very nice.
Usual rules, I pay postage, no minimum increase, I will post daily the maximum
bids until over.
 
Please bid for each complete lot and not for an individual card.  If any lot
does not sell, I will break it up later and sell them individually.
 
There are basically two kinds of lots:  Commons and stars.  For the common
lots, I have only listed the card number and condition.  There are some high
numbers and/or minor stars in many of the lots.  The star lots contain several
superstar cards.  I put most of the popular cards in their own lots, since
there may be more interest in those.
 
If you are at all interested in older material, please have a look at this.
Since most of the cards are beat up, it would be easy to add some interesting
things to your collection.
 
The grading scale that I used follows the list.  Please send all bids to me at
BlindBlackBob@cup.portal.com.  The minimum bids are listed after the lot
number.  If you want any additional information on the condition about any card
or anything else, please write mail to me.  Thanks!

         ----------------------------------------------------------
 
Here is the grading scale that I used:
 
Near Mint:  Very well centred and very sharp corners
 
Excellent-Mint:  Corners have very slight wear, but fine otherwise fine.
 
Very Good-Excellent:  Corner wear.  May be off centre.  No creases.
 
Very Good:  A minor crease that doesn't break the surface or minor back
            damage.
 
Good-Very Good:  Has one or more minor creases and corner wear.
 
Fair:  Has a major crease or scuffing.  Corners are no longer the issue.
 
Poor:  Really bad.  Has writing, tears, major back damage, or the like.
