I replaced the old "painted" shelves with plate glass. I was also extremely lucky to find brand new hinges that matched perfectly in an antique shop. Lastly I added a new art nouveau style door knob.

Couldn't get a great picture with all the glare but pretty happy with the results. The stain I used had a poly included that matched the T207 backgrounds and their gloss pretty well.

It's not often that I pick up something for $11.35 that I consider to be an important part of my collection. But this one definitely qualifies. I know it's not pre-war, but it's a team issue of the major leagues' first African American coach, shown as a coach. I always hoped it existed, but never knew until now.

Wow! Fantastic.
Congrats.

What set is the O'Neill card from? Or is it not a card?

[paul]

It's a Cubs team issue, 8" x 10". I assume it's from 1962-65 when O'Neil coached for the Cubs.

Nice Gary!! Thank you very much. You might have single-handedly paid for my daughter's college. (although I am not very good at math according to some board Einsteins)

Here's two pretty cool (at least I think so) additions to my Pittsburgh collection:

Thanks, Leon (and Erick, Greg, Chris, & Bryan)! I had been eyeballing a lot of cards in your collection for a long time, and I feel fortunate that you decided to send your cards to auction given how rare many of the items are, and that I was able to win a few of them. Thanks again!
