I have been trying to get a type card from the high numbers set for ages. Yesterday i was at an out door antique show and managed to get a type...sort of...I got the whole set uncut #25-48 I think some one else had posted an image of thier uncut sheet on the forum before, but for those who have not seen one, here you go.

Wow, I must be attending the wrong antique shows, fantastic. Since you wanted one type card, how about having the sheet professionally cut and selling the other 23 cards.

Jay--congrats on a truly amazing find! I think you can count your hi number set complete now with that beauty. Gives the rest of us hope to keep looking---somewhere the Strongman lurks!

What an awesome find! There has to be a kind of emotional "high" that only we collectors can appreciate on getting something like this. Truly remarkable.

Thanks guys! One of the great things about this board is the fact that everyone on here understands your excitement when you do have a good find. The dealer i bought it off, bought it off another dealer at the show before they let the public in. I have bought a few things off him in the past He is primarily a nostalgia and collectables dealer. He knew that it was a nice piece, but i don't think he realized that it was high-numbers and just how rare it is. When i saw it on his table i just stared at it for awhile not really believing what i was seeing. I just paid the price he was asking. I don't even negotiate on this one.
