Finally got the flip fixed on this one of a kind Ty Cobb-signed Detroit Seamless Steel Tubes postcard. Instead of simply saying "Postcard/Ty Cobb" on the flip, now it says "1907 Det. Seamless Steel Tubes/Ty Cobb/Postcard" and is graded a 9 for the autograph. Only cost me 4K and took two days to be completed for the rush price. Really enjoyed working with PSA on this one.



And here's a Betz Studio Cabinet of the 1894 Orioles team with Keeler, McGraw and Jennings amongst others. I've been after this card for years and haven't had any luck in finding one with a nice image, until two weeks ago in Hunt's auction. Somehow I turned on the live auction one lot too late and missed it. Incredibly, as I was leaving the show I spotted the very card on a table at nearly a 100% markup. The seller was kind enough to sell it to me for only a 40% markup (and I was genuinely thrilled to get it).
