Super nice collection Bob. Figured we'd hear from one of you OBC guys eventually. And that Exhibit dispensing machine with the Ruth card is out of this world. I have a 1950's Victor gumball and baseball card dispensing machine myself, so I can relate to how cool having an Exhibit machine from that far back actually is. And having a Ruth card with it is simply icing on the cake. Wow!!!
