‘Cap’ Anson’s Want List

Greetings!

Thank you for checking out my OBC want list. Excuse the ‘mess’ around my page as I’m hosting it on my website, http://www.prewarcards.com.

I am primarily a collector of pre-war cards and earlier vintage issues. Below are cards on my current want list.

In addition to the sets below, I am always looking for absolutely any pre-war card. Got a spare Goudey wide pen? A beat up T201? Strip cards, Exhibits postcards, etc. Would love to have them. I’m primarily interested in cards from the four major sports (baseball, basketball, football, hockey) but will gladly take other sports as well such as boxing, golf, tennis, etc.

Thanks for stopping by and even if you can’t hit stuff on my want list right now, drop me a line via the OBC site just to say hello.

Other Pre-War – I focus most of my collection on pre-war cards and beyond the sets above, would be more than happy with any pre-war card.

All issues such as strip cards, trade cards, T/E cards, etc. would be appreciated (and, of course, in any condition).
