I don’t care for the hunt- I am fine getting my meat from the butcher

Crazy! But congrats. Admittedly, I had the same thought 6 years ago when I nabbed my E104-2 Wagner. Flash forward to today, I’ve still got the Wags, but been able to acquire absolutely zero other Pirates. Been underbidder on a dozen or so, including the Clarke, but no wins. Look forward to seeing the complete grouping.

I've wanted this card for quite awhile!

Finding a nice D304 Cobb has been a long road, but really happy with the card.
Received today along with 13 T206 Sovereigns (didn't set out to achieve that, but oh well!)
A couple of other odds and ends from May and late April here as well.

Jason that Cobb is ridiculously cool! Congrats.

I've always been able to live with some back paper loss if the front presented well for the grade. Especially in this case where the prices increase so dramtically at seemingly every half point. I'm really happy with it for the price point.

Best,

Scott

Well, that certainly presents well, imo. You did good.

I'm not complaining as I am lucky to own one, but I wish my paper loss was on the back and not the front.

Still a great looking card. Image clarity is top notch!
