I found this 1938 dealer advertising sheet for the Canadian counterpart of the U.S. Gum, Incorporated 1938 Horrors of War set in Mastro's 2004 auction catalog.
Mastro offered a complete set of 96 1934 Goudey cards in their November 2000 auction. That's a cool enough set on its own, but what set the lot apart was the inclusion of the two albums Goudey produced to house the 1934 production.
One of my favorite things from back issues of The Trader Speaks is seeing all the game's greats who were regular signers at card shows. Brooklyn's second Baseball Card And Sports Memorabilia Show had Cal Abrams, Gene Hermanski, and Billy Loes!
Tony Galovich wrote a three-page article about "investing" in unopened card packs and boxes for the June 1992 issue of Alan Kaye's Sports Cards News & Price Guides; it brought about a lot of conversation on FB, so I thought I'd share the entire thing on the blog.
PSA has slabbed 141 1959 Topps Football Cello Packs; I have to presume a few of them are crossovers from when Mastro sold this lot of 36 GAI-graded 2nd-Series examples in August 2004

Before Cramer Sports Productions became Pacific Trading Cards, they competed with TCMA in the 70s to produce minor league sets; I ran across this ad for a set they made for the Tucson Toros in the Sept 1977 issue of The Trader Speaks.

I came across a 1951 Bowman Baseball one-cent display box in Ron Oser Enterprises' April 2001 catalog, which inspired me to revive posts on the blog highlighting complete unopened product runs from various sets. This time, instead of dedicated pages, I'll be sharing them as blog posts with a bit of added commentary.
