Incredible card, always great to see new vintage cards discovered. I’ve seen these cards, very rare. Tim Keefe invented the change up, I have his highest graded 1888 Goodwin card, PSA 8. An incredible underrated pitcher.
Attic Find Fridays are top tier UA-cam content.. love all the stories. I just imagine, as I am sure we all do, coming across one of these ‘finds.’ The obscurity of these types of cards outweigh coming across a more valuable well-known card in my opinion. I’ve found some Bell Brand Potato Chip Dodgers sets, Red Rose baseball sets.. The famous 7-11 Cards!
Wow i figured they would of sold for more even though it was pre pandemic. I would of just kept them for that much. The Tobacco can itself was probably more than the card. Just think about the name yum yum lol for Tobacco what a way to get you started back then. Advertising has changed a lot from then till now. Great video mike.
Oldest card I have is a pin-up girl tobacco card from the late 1800's. Its amazing to hold a piece of history that used to be for someones spank bank back in the day lol
I don't delve at all into the pre-1900's stuff at all, but this is a really cool find. Imagine owning the only something known to exist in an antique/collectibles market that is popular. That would be pretty cool. And not a manufactured 1/1, but the only one to have survived kind of 1/1. That's just awesome.
We had a card from John's collection that was the only one ever graded by SGC or PSA. A 1928 Greiner's Bread Waite Hoyt. PSA has graded only 9 cards from the set and SGC just 3. John's was the only Hoyt. Heritage has 6 of the PSA graded ones up for auction right now.
Never heard of this set. Something like that would be nice to have. I have a couple 1888 Allen and Ginter cards. One is graded and the other isn’t. Neither are of baseball players. Planning to show them off sometime soon.
Those sepia cards must have been a thing in 1888 cuz I have a Sweet Caporal sepia card of an actress from '88. I also have a James Corbett (boxer) tobacco card from I believe 1925 but I can't remember from which company.
@@JunkWaxHero cards have been valuable for decades. It’s pretty unbelievable all these cards would be in attics just left by people who does years ago.
@@MrJmanginiProbably long forgotten about. I don't really find these discoveries very surprising. I think alot more of this stuff exist than what people believe.
I had a similar issue. Sometimes rare cards are tough to sell. I bought a raw 1902-03 E107Breisch-Williams card for $20 on whatnot. lol. Less than 8 known copies exist between SGC and PSA. SGC graded it a 1.5. I had a difficult time selling it but I found someone willing to trade me a nice koufax rookie for it. I used the koufax and some cash to get into a low grade 51 Mays. Not a bad $20 Whatnot find. Lol
I'm out to find the most rarest card of all time no matter what sport or activity I'm looking for it. Imagine finding a 1914 Babe Ruth Rookie in it's original package.
1888 -2025 thats going on 150 y old card refrence town i live in in bum fuck PA is just over 200y old Pa is 5th oldest state in country and about 100Y before that card was made USA dident exiest 3.5 grade is amazeing for a pic of card bord
How about a 'my attic find' Friday once-in-a-while?.. As to the 19th century cards, yeah, they seem to have a considerably smaller collecting audience than early 20th century cards... physically(other than the Allen&Ginter) they're pretty drab and faded, so they lack some intrinsic appeal...
Had you heard of this set or card?
No! But just Wow! 🤯 Great card !
Thanks Mike!
Great card, great find!
As always, thanks for sharing these stories with us. Have a top weekend. 👍

Was fun to hear Keefe’s name. My oldest card is of him.
Nice! What card is it?

Exactly my feeling
Amazing card . What a story . Keefe great pitcher ⚾️💪👏💙
I forgot about the pitchers distance changing! 😊 last time I heard that I was a little league pitcher! A loooong time ago! 👍
“Collectabled”, I learned a new word:). Awesome video, great content

I was looking at those! Very cool.
Really looking forward to these upcoming AFF episodes!

Yeah they were pretty common. Cool cards!
Also the pitching mound was higher and no delivers back then
I found a card that has never been graded before!
What is it?
Great run back of the story!

Love this series
Thank you!
Too bad our work gets in the way! Appreciate your thoroughness on these stories.
Glad you like them!
We are experiencing an attic find boom! More attic finds in the last several months than ever in the history of the hobby.
Interesting that it didn’t happen during the market boom of 2020-2021

Do you have pictures of all the cards? I’d love to tell this story
@@JunkWaxHero I’ll send them to you.
Tim Keefe? What a crock! That's Spencer Strider! ;-)
Ha!

Mmmm mmmm Tobacco! YUM! YUM! 🤤

True. What do you mean about “my attic find”?
I don't have a great card attic find... a modest one, maybe... but I bet other channel viewers do... I'll email you my story
