This is an amazing thread. I've been collecting Josh Gibson since about 1999. I've always been a Pirates collector, but when Josh and others started appearing in Upper Deck sets, I said, "Why not? A Pittsburgh team is a Pittsburgh team!" It grew from there. Now Josh and Roberto Clemente are the two players I collect most. (Unfortunately, I can't keep up with all the Clemente cards that are released every year.)

I probably have 600-700 different Josh Gibson cards in my collection, including customs. I have some Josh Gibson rarities, but they're all relatively recent--nothing before the 1974 Laughlin Old-Time Black Stars and his HOF induction postcard--so I salivate at the memorabilia being shown here. Incredible stuff.
