Chris, that strip proof is one that "mesmerizes" me for sure. I think about it often. I always think where there's one, there has got to be two.

Ed et al.,

The BL 460 took me 5 years to obtain....it was a journey. I had at least half a dozen slip through my fingers before I finally nailed one down. Patience and a lot of luck!

Best,
Lee

T206 Walter Johnson portrait. Still the best looking card of all time IMO.

+1. Even though after seeing the T206 Wagner in Cooperstown, the WaJo portrait is still breathtaking and affordable. I will never part with mine.

Lee, I am sure you paid your dues, I was just playing around with my remark. I am trying to get one of every back, I am at 28, but I have only been collecting a bit over a year. Those last five backs (I am not even dreaming of the Cobb back) are going to be, well, something I won't put in print. And I doubt I will get them in five years.

As a kid, the 1965 Topps Yastrzemski. I loved the pose, where he was catching a fly ball.

As an adult, T206 Cobb bat off shoulder. The subject, the pose, the background colors.

Mesmerized or awestruck, whatever you want to call it. It happens to me almost everyday on this site. Most recently with Mikehealer's T216 Matty!

This particular card has a totally different AWE inspiring effect on me!

When I was a kid, I finally saved up enough money to buy a 1983 Topps Ryne Sandberg. I was as giddy as a schoolgirl. I took that card (along with the rest of my Ryno collection) in and out of toploaders and binder pages more times than I can count, destroying them all in the process; but it was fun. I now have that card in a PSA 9 slab just for the memories.

In my adult collecting life, this Matty mesmerizes me well above all others:


Hopefully one day I will be able to add the Cobb to my collection, at which point I'm sure I'll be hypnotized for a while:
