February Pickups

Thanks guys, I gave up two big pieces of my collection to get this but I figure this will be my new centerpiece. I have not seen too many times that he has signed his full name with the nickname. What makes it so cool is the Ruppert signature and the photo of them on the postcard signing the new contract. Sorry I'm a little stoked about having this one.

And what an odd setting... outside in the middle of a field? Very cool piece.

It is the actual photo of him signing his 1933 contract with Ruppert as they did it in a park in St. Pete's. Thats what why I thought it was really cool besides the George H Babe Ruth signature that I have to admit I have never seen signed liked that before.

Here is the newspaper clipping for that photo.

That's an awesome run of Cobbs, Jamie!

I have to admit, you have me thinking about trying the same thing, albiet perhaps at a smaller scale (one for each manufacturer).

Jamie/Bill,

Thank you very much for the nice words about the Dahlen. It's been pretty frustrating. I've been looking for a Dahlen for a few years now, but they just haven't been showing up. It seems people have been holding on to them in hopes of his making it into the HOF. I just missed a couple others within the past 6 months or so, so I'm very glad to finally get one.

A lot of Tolstoi's i see are somewhat faded, this one is a very bold example. Also a little WST action on front for Johnny's viewing pleasure.
