Pops was my childhood favorite. Happy to add another auto of his. Robin is a first for me. Happy to add some modest pickups.

Added this one to both my HOF'ers and my 1955 Dodgers...love a good 2fer.

I haven't uploaded a photo to here in a while, so if this one doesn't show up, let me know, but I picked up Roy Campanella for my project from another member here.

Wow, I bet you don't see many of those. Are all the ones you have left really tough, or are some easier but expensive?

Thanks Mike! It's a little bit of both, but mostly the former. Of the 14 I still need, most of them are players who died in the 1950s-70s, who came up for a few years, then were out of baseball and weren't highly sought after. There are a couple like Mantle and Paige that are readily available, but expensive, and Billy Martin I can't find one I like.

Fun custom card, got signed

Got an amazing return from PSA today. Thanks to Derrick Hohbein for doing a big group submission I was able to have these encapsulated for half the cost. I begrudgingly cut up a boom page from a silent film book that had multiple signatures. I realized others whom had bought the pages did the same. I hated doing it but I'm glad I did now as I can display each signature individually. The Buster Keaton is perhaps my favorite autograph. Also got some killer deadball stars slabbed as well:)

Picked up a Jeter from a fellow member:

Dummy Hoy, Deacon Phillippe, and (Mrs.) Joe Jackson
 

Picked up some government postcards from the 1940s. Each one is now featured on a page on CooperstownExpert.com. There's Deacon Phillippe, Dummy Hoy, and
Joe Jackson. Of course the Jackson signature is that of his wife.

The Jackson piece was part of the lot. Not sure I'd actually pay for an autograph signed by his wife.

The website is a labor of love. My collection kind of stalled when I reached a certain point on Hall of Famers. I thought about creating the site for more than a decade before finally constructing it. It has a page for every Hall of Famer and more than 300 pages for guys not in the Hall.

Hope you get a chance to look at it and search for your favorite baseball men.

Love all three pickups.

Wasn't planning on getting one of these, but I stumbled upon it at a good price. Doc Wendler was the team trainer/dr for the 1955 dodgers and will fit good with my other 55's.

Inspired by N54 member "Packs", I sent my Ryan RC to his foundation for an auto and it was returned yesterday. Looks nice.

Nice!

Always a pleasure to spend some time on your site. It's a thing of beauty and a remarkable collection.

Got this yesterday. Can't go wrong with $38 from a Barnes & Noble preorder.
