Ernie Koob by Charles Conlon
I was successful at picking up an original 1917 Charles Conlon photo of St. Louis Browns pitcher Ernie Koob.
Ernie Koob is credited with being part of a MLB first: On May 5th, 1917 Koob no-hit Eddie Cicotte and the visiting CWS 1-0. St. Louis hurler Bob Groom repeated the feat by no-hitting the White Sox the following day in the 2nd game of a double header 3-0. This was the first time that no-hitters were pitched in consecutive days in the same series. This is a definite rarity, as it has only occurred twice since: HOF Gaylord Perry and Ray Washburn did it on 9/17/68 and 9/18/68 respectively @ San Francisco. Jim Maloney and Don Wilson also repeated this on 4/30/69 and 5/1/69 @ Cincinnati. One definite regret is not winning the Harvey Haddix action photo that appears on this 1961 Topps card. I thought the auction was over and I had won, so I went to bed. The next day I was shocked when I discovered that someone else managed to outbid me. Bummer! Oh well, I won one of the two that I was going after... Someone added a nice photo to their collection.

I like Henry a lot, we have a great rapport, but there is a little conflict when selling something you graded yourself. That said I would buy something from him, that he graded, in a heartbeat. But yes, there is a little conflict in "arms length" type transactions of photos he sells and grades. No doubt he stands behind his stuff 100%. I trust him a lot but again, no different than when I sell something and give my thoughts on it, there is a bias. I think Henry is good enough to be fair on every single thing he grades, whether his or not.

I trust Henry (and Rhys) before I trust most of the companies who get paid for the opinions.
Before our "hobbies" were ruined by the people who get paid for their opinions, everybody who sold stuff graded / authenticated their own stuff, and their reputations spoke for them. Some were bad, but that was the cost of learning. Still cheaper than the costs today. Doug "I could be wrong" Goodman Last edited by doug.goodman; 12-21-2017 at 03:20 PM.

In any case, I hope they get re-sold for 4 and 5 times what Rhys got. Now that I will have 17 of them - just like bitcoins.
