Amazing card mate !

 

[Sharks16]

Nice work and it looks in pretty good condition for the age . What’s something like that worth?

 

[GarnettFan4Life]

AMAZING!

I picked up my long time wanted card 28-29 Ogden the other week (mailday coming soon) but I'm not really knowledgeable on Cricket cards - what made this a grail for you and/or so hard to find?

 

[Lukebasketball]

The Hoadley’s is Bradman’s first card and one of his rarest.

 

[GarnettFan4Life]

Is it similar to basketball where a player might have 5 first year (Rookie) cards and you could break them down to which was released first Like Topps came out in March then Upper Deck in April etc? Or is it thought of differently with cricket?

 

[Lukebasketball]

Exactly. Date released bears some value scarcity pretty much trumps all.

Great card I have recently purchased 1 as well and the Schneider card never thought I would be able to get them both only need 1 card to finish the set and that is the Beeston card have about 12 spares from the set if anyone wants to swap.

Incredible. I'm on the same hunt but only a couple of years in. Well done!

I'm building a 1928 Hoadley's set as well. What spares do you have? I have other era Cricket cards and Bradmans to swap or I would just buy some of your '28 Hoadley's if the match my gaps.
