My wife's name for this site

And, my card addiction was an existing condition when she met me.

By now, she recognizes the N54 page, but to her it's the lesser of two evils.. Being that I'm mostly just dorking out on cards here, versus buying them there.

... "What? BST? Shhhhhhh!"...

Sounds like you have a pretty cool wife. Just make sure that she doesn't find out that the T202s are considered "ice cold".

Funny enough, T202's are the only ones she thinks are really cool!

She wouldn't get any arguments from me. They are incredibly cool.

I find I'm liking the set even more since we messaged back and forth. I've been looking at a bunch of them on the 'bay, as well as the scans you posted (I've looked at those a few times). I love the different combinations of players.

I also like the Mattys you posted. I would just kill for one with Matty on one end, and Walter Johnson on the other (maybe with a Grover Cleveland Alexander windup picture in the middle. Hey, he was in his second year!). Sadly, it doesn't seem any two of those three were paired in any way.

My head is spinning. Do I save for a "Cobb steals third", or a Matty dark cap T206 after I get my Walter Johnson portrait.

Decisions, decisions...
