Special thanks to this board. I would have never seen this auction without someone flagging it.
Congrats! That crease looks much more pronounced in your photo than in the auction scan, but it's a killer card! Very nice indeed! And Andrew, very nice Hornsby. If I had to pick a Hornsby to own, it would be the one you have or his wildly over-priced 1917 E135 Collins McCarthy.

Congrats Scott!!! That is a special card that will always be among the elite cards in our hobby. You can't lay in bed at night and hold and stare at your stocks. Enjoy it.

Ha. When I tell my wife, this may be the only thing in bed to lay with. But seriously, I regretted not buying one a few years back, and I just felt like I was always going to make room to buy this card, so the sooner the better, I suppose. I wasn't that turned off by the rip on the back -- I never look at the back, you know? I mean, if I had $100k, I might think differently....but not at the moment.
