Sorry about the size. I was getting ready to list a Buffalo Bill cabinet card and thoughr it might be fun to see some of his stuff (especially if someone could show the N167 BB card I sold and never took a pic of ). I can't get to the other cards - sold the couple of pinbacks I had - but I've managed to hold onto some W. F. Cody things you might not see every day - all within what I think of as non-sports.........

The leather is facsimile stamped (hmmmmmmmmmm....why?) AND factory stamped - the stevengraph possibly (hard to believe but) uncataloged - the chiefs piece Elliot and Fry (famous London photogs probably on one of BB visits) - the autograph speaks for itself - One of my favorite cabinet photos with much of his "stuff" by a noted photographer - and finally a clean and crisp candy adv. backed Newsboy...........

E.E.Cummings in a poem about him "Jesus - he was a handsome man". I have to agree that there was something special there......

lets see some stuffffffffffffff!

Buffalo Bill plus some Bull:



Plus The Hunted Animal:

Henry I don't mean to hijack your thread but are any of the Indian Chief's in your pictured Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show card Buffalo Bull? And if so which one?

R14,my favorite and this was the last card I needed for completion!

Challenge: Anybody know what this is? (hint: It is American)

r pretty darn fast

The chiefs are not named and I never had the time to do the research. I will say that the one in the middle looks like the gay indian in the Dustin Hoffman film "Little Big Man" and the one squatting on the left hasn't been getting enough fiber.....

wow eric b!! what an awesome card, unless that was an under the radar pick up i would guess that was a battle to the end for that one...that is a beauty...

cards are amazing, i think the one that stands out the most (to me) has to be the autographed card in henry's collection. its one thing to see the portraits, its another to see his handwriting! what an amazing way to drive the point home that this was a real person with an authentic autograph 120 years ago. jawdropping.

Thanks Marty. It's an N476 Mrs GB Miller's and the back is about perfect. Apparently during a scrapbook removal it fell out from beneath a large cabinet card, completely protected for 100+ years. I plan to dig it out for grading some day soon.

It did not fly under the radar and I paid dearly for it. But I felt it was the premiere card of possibly the biggest non-sports "star" of the N-card era.

as for the Miller - I remember when it happened - I said it then and I'll say it now - nice card Eric and it wasn't cheap..... Well no N167 - and no-one has posted an N162 yet. David a super nice BB silk to go with your equally nice Napoleon. Got the others yet? To everyone else - good job! I might have a couple more somewhere... Keep 'em coming.

Here's my N162 picked up off the B/S/T board a few months
ago.
