Important Notice: Please note that the format of this auction differs from a traditional eBay Live auction in that only absentee bids are accepted. There is no live "bidding on the close" in which to participate. All lots offered in this auction will close at exactly the same time, as opposed to a traditional one at a time closing of lots, and therefore there is no live "one lot at a time" bidding close in which to participate. Your left bids will compete with all other left bids by auction participants. Bids may be placed on the eBay system at any time prior to 9:00 PM EST, May 1, 2004. No bids will be recognized or accepted when the eBay Live "live bidding applet" is run early in the morning of May 2, 2004 strictly for the purpose of officially registering and recording the final auction results.

1911 T201 Mecca Doublefolders Complete Set (50)

Superb high-grade complete set. 10% Nr/Mt, 60% Ex to Ex-Mt, 30% Vg-Ex. This is a particularly sharp high-grade complete set for this classic tobacco issue. Cards which we have graded Vg-Ex appear Ex or better, and have been downgraded due to extremely minor flaws so common to the issue. The thin stock and foldover design of T201s make them especially susceptible to small creases as well as light corner wear. Keys: Baker/Collins (Nr/Mt), Bender/Oldring (Vg-Ex), Bergen/Wheat (Vg-Ex), Bresnahan/Huggins (Nr/Mt), Bridwell/Mathewson (Ex-Mt), Brown/Hofman (Ex-Mt), Byrne/Clarke (Ex-Mt), Chance/Evers (Ex), Chase/Sweeney (Vg-Ex), Cobb/Crawford (Ex), Dougherty/Lord (Ex-Mt), Falkenberg/Lajoie (Vg-Ex), Gardner/Speaker (Ex), Jennings/Summers (Ex), Johnson/Street (Ex), Lake/Wallace (Ex-Mt), Leach/Gibson (Ex), McCarty/McGinnity (Ex), Payne/Walsh (Ex), and Wiltse/Merkle (Ex). Exceptionally crisp, clean, and attractive complete set of Mecca Doublefolders, far superior to sets usually found, which is not surprising as this set was carefully assembled card by card, with only the finest example chosen, from a find of several hundred T201s in the early 1980s. Total 50 cards. Reserve $1,000. Estimate $2,500/$5,000.
