I love the looks of them! This one was at a benefit silent auction. I think it sold for $75 or so. I was keeping my eye on it though, just in case I was able to afford it

I was lucky enough to inherit a nice starter collection of rare books from my grandpa. His father (my great grandpa) knew Jack London well from the Oakland days and my grandfather met him a couple times when he was a kid. My mom gave me my grandfather's last remaining signed London book when I was in high school and my collection has grown from that to what it is today, almost thirty years later.
Both sets of grandparents kept a lot of old items and, since my brother and sister were not interested, I kept them and took care of them.

Forgive me if I asked already, but how many first editions do you have in your collection?

Of Jack I have four true firsts.
I have a bench of modern firsts, but, ones that would be considered truly rare, I have about 40.

Die-Cast farm toys. My father, 3 brothers and I all collected them as kids (I grew up on a farm). Used to go to Farm Toy shows all the time. Stopped collecting them about 20 years ago, but still have many. I focused on White Field Equipment and its predecessor Oliver. My oldest stuff is from the 1930's. Manufacturers were Slik, Arcade and Ertl. Oliver is quite popular with collectors. It's all boxed up in my basement now, haven't looked at the stuff in 10 years.

Does anyone here need any prospect challenge codes? I don't think they go for much, but I have a bunch of them.

If those Cobb cards aren't reprints, that's a hell of a deal!

Had them checked out, and they are 100% authentic.

You are telling me that the green Ty Cobb is legit? I can't find that card anywhere. Beckett doesn't list a Blome's Chocolate card. Really nice condition from the pic though.

Looks like a 1910 E93 but I have never seen a green background.

It's an E94. Blome's overprints are pretty scarce.

So scarce they aren't listed in Beckett after all these years though?
Close Candy is listed.
