Very nice Matthewson t206, that's on my want list.

Hey, I just wanted to mention something. It doesn't look like your cards in toploaders are in penny sleeves as well. If I'm incorrect, I apologize and please disregard. I know it's harder to center them in the case with a sleeve, but the toploaders aren't archival safe and will start to chemically react with the paper, especially in sunlight. Much slower out of sunlight, but it's still an issue.

They (meaning hobby suppliers) do make screwdowns for vintage cards now, you've just got to find the right size. However, they also make penny sleeves and toploaders for t206 sized tobacco cards these days. If you don't want to put any money into cases, I'd just put a penny sleeve on them and put them back in their toploaders.

Nice collection, I'd hate to see the paper fall apart one day because of storage problems.

Kea'au, HI
Love to see the "Collector Grade" cards.

Your a true vintage collector! :)

BTW the 1st Cobb is a W514 in case you didnt know...

**The R319 Ruth is a reprint, dont waste your $$ getting it graded. (the easiest of many ways to tell even with the blurry video is the eyes shadows are way too dark, and the copyright symbol in bottom corner is too bold. These reprints are often called Raccoon Reprints because they didnt get the contrast right in the face. The back may have scuffing in the area between the GOUDEY GUM CO. and BOSTON, this is where it said reprint at one time.

PS the other card that may be a reprint but its tough to tell from video is the R338 Cobb. If you post a clear scan of the fornt I can tell you for sure.
