19th century card dealers?

Buccaneer

Lately I've been getting the urge to do a "type" set of baseball cards. I see that there is a PSA Sampler Set so I guess that's a good list. I am wanting to do the first half in PSA 4. Besides t207.com, can someone remind me who the major 19th century card dealers are? There is one obvious one I am forgetting.

Tik and Tik is probably the best. 19th Century Only .com has their auction running this week as well.
BTW, the "ultimate" psa type set is seriously flawed. It has N29's, but not N28's, some years of certian issues but not others.

I noticed that as I was going through the list with the big SCD book. From the sound of it, it appears to be a list of those issues that PSA has graded (I could be wrong about that) but a quick look at a couple sites shows that SGC is popular for early cards. I think I'll just make a better list myself instead of concerning myself with PSA's exclusivity. Oh, thanks for the 19thcenturyonly recommendation. That was the obvious one that I had forgotten about.

Actually PSA has graded many more issues than are on the "ultimate" set. I sent BJ an email about it, as did Con40 but she said she'd have to check with the person that requested the set, and apparentely he said no changes.
Mastro's current collector auction has got a whole bunch of nice 19th century cards- Hess's and Yum Yum's and N43's, among others.

Thank you.

Well, I hoped I started this set off on the right foot. It seems like T205 in PSA 5 have been going for around $90 and I just picked one up that has really nice centering and eye appeal.
