Thanks. Really happy with it; especially since it was priced at around half what he normally asks for similar Speaker's.

About 6 months ago a Carl Erskine piece came up for sale on the BST that I always had admired. I was talking to my wife about it and told her how much I liked it. I had the money to purchase it but it would have drained my savings for something else I was saving for. My wife asked how much I wanted it and said she would purchase it for my birthday but I couldn't look at it until then. I agreed and have been so excited about it but wanted to personalize it a bit more so I contacted Dave (Dave's resale shop) who originally matted and framed the piece my wife bought. He gave me some advice and helped me by cutting a new larger matting and sending it to me along with a Pee Wee Reese from an autograph book he purchased.

In the mean time I found a larger photo of Carl Erskine that I liked and sent it to him requesting him to add all the names of the strikeout victims in the record setting game he pitched in the 1953 World Series game.

I built a new larger frame put in the new matting and added a card. I took the smaller frame and replaced the pieces with the Reese auto, card and photo.
I know these don't compare to most collections I view on the board but I think the Erskine is truly a unique piece and will be a favorite in collection for years to come.

A special thanks the Dave's resale shop for the help,and advice as well as Scott (gray ghost) who had to give up one of his pieces in a tough time. Scott, I hope you enjoy what I came up with.
