"Irwin Fletcher" had an amazing collection of signed Diamond Stars for sale and I ended up snagging all but one of his HOFers (still kicking myself for passing on the one, Lloyd Waner). I have been picking them up here and there ever since, as well as other signed pre-war stuff. I think DS are perfect for autographs and given they have similar color schemes, look great displayed together. They seem to come up for sale here and there. I was very happy to score the Terry on eBay, and another board member ended up with the Waner from the same seller. I'll email you some pics (some day I'll take time to upload my cards to site)

Doing well, Ian. I e-mailed ya back after downloading some pictures

Luke, those Caramels just jump off the screen. They're truly beautiful.

Erick-congrats on some great additions. I'm going to be the last pre-war collector on Net 54 to own that Gehrig at the rate I'm going.

Dan-I don't know if PSA is any harder on staining. But that Lajoie is incredible no matter what the grade.

CrazyDiamond-that's one of the nicest PSA 1s I've ever seen. Great eye appeal!

Thanks Bill! I appreciate you always taking the time to comment.

Jesse, did you know that before Mark Koenig played in Cincinnati, he was a member of the famed Murder's Row from the 1927 New York Yankees?

Basically, it was a combination of:

Earle Combs in center
Mark Koenig at short
Babe Ruth in right
Lou Gehrig at first
Bob Meusel in left
Tony Lazzeri at second

They had a couple guys playing catcher and third base. But that first six hitters in the lineup were just murder on opposing pitchers. The '27 Yankees were 110-44. They swept the Pittsburgh Pirates 4-0 in the World Series.

No doubt! I just saw that. Some really great color, especially when you consider how long that baby has been in circulation.

Thank you! Been wanting one for a while and can't afford much higher but have to say I am very happy with this one!
