Charlie, you're ahead of the pack for noticing it's December
I purchased the graded cards raw and sent them to be graded.
That STS #23 has been high on my want list for years!

Charley,
That is a sweet STEER TREK card!

Some weekend pickups...

Nice group, Todd. I'm such a sucker for those brightly colored slips of waxed paper. There are a few in there I could use if they are dups. For instance, Freedom's War, Gilligan, Addams Family, Lost in Space and Laugh in. I feel like remora fish trying to attach myself to a shark. -Jack J.

finally snagged one of these elusive devils

Wow Jim, great pickup.

The mail today was like Christmas in ... well, like Christmas in December. -Jack J.

A nice stack of V303 O-Pee-Chee second half Mickey Mouse cards



Flag Gum - nice condition



HOW highs and a Sea Raider #15



Last, an R153 Box Car wrapper

Cool stuff guys!

Jim, According to the Benjamin guide there are 10 in the set of the Matchem cards yet you have #20 and he shows a 22 and 24. Any idea how these are numbered? Are there really only 10?

Jack, I'll email you on the wrappers.

A nice lot of low number Wrapper magazines.







Included in the lot is the un-numbered mag shown alone above. It has the phrase "Complimentary Copy" in place of the number. Comparing it to copies I have on hand, it turns out to be an extremely abridged version of Issue #20. I asked Les about is. His response is "You have a rarity, Bill. That was the only complimentary copy (done for a show, I think) ever produced."

It makes a nice addition to my library.

Bill

Good going, Bill! I see several still on my want list. Never saw that complimentary copy before. Les has been holding out on us!

Some nice pick ups guys, nice wrappers and issues of the wrapper!! With some cool unusual cards....

I Picked up some super rare Perrin's Chocolate cards and a Dominion Chocolate Woodland Animals card. Also picked up an uncut sheet of early 1900's Canadian Military Silks which was a premium mail away.

Some great pickup's so far this month,especially like the uncut sheet of silk inserts.
Keep em coming!

Todd
I think you are misreading Benjamin's notation.
The (10K) means ten different known, I don't believe it meant
ten in the set.

Jim, OK, I get it.

Does anyone have any other information on this set? Or examples of other cards?

Picked up some nice Chocolate advertising....

I beleive this candy premium to be from 1910ish














Store window card



With 99 cards in very nice shape

Top one is from Sorority Girls, Set of Ten, 1908
Will post set if interested.

Picked up a couple of Canadian Chewing Gum Our Gang wrappers. Thought there was a thread on these, but couldn't find it. -Jack J.

as usual Greg.........I've had those Apollo Folders for Mother's day. Wonder what they were used for? Also have had a couple different of those Hanselman stereoviews.

Awww Tom - you beat me out on those Pullman cards!

Weekend pickups...

In today's mail...

I thought these things were rare!!



(I guess I'll put my dupes up in the BST area!)

Hey Todd, I need one of those. Do you have any with the little holes in them? I like those better. Thanks in advance. -Jack J.

Sure Jack! I can put holes them. How many holes do you want?

That's ok. I don't need the holes, there are way too many in my collection already.

Actually, I believe this to be an early Kodak color photo from the manager's office of the Schutter-Johnson Candy Corp. These are all the No. 4 cards ever printed, cut from a sheet of three by five cards. Copies of this photo were sent to distributors to dispel the rumor that no card 4s existed. -Jack J.

Many thanks and a Happy Holiday Season to the East coast collector who shipped these cards over to me .

I've one or 2 in my sights for you in 2012 .

Xtra large Gail & Ax

Anyone ever have the KarmelCorn from the Arcade (see the arcade ad on the back of the Lone Jack card) in Watertown NY?


Schmoo Candy comics






Looks like it was cut from a box - anyone know where this came from?

Nice pickups Greg, neat Lone Jack card. Our Gang is from Novel Candy Box.
