The hunt continues for the remaining members (4 Major League executives and 8 Negro Leaguers/execs). But this Cooper card (my first Billiken), marks a real milestone.

My journey began about 15 years ago, and I have enjoyed every minute of it! A big part of that has been the knowledge and camaraderie, I have received from this board and all it's contributors. Thanks, guys! Couldn't have got here without you. Of course the beauty of being a HOF collector, is that you're never REALLY finished - there are always new inductees (including old-timers) - something I look forward to, every winter.

Anyway... thanks for listening. Now, I'm off to play with my new card!!

I appreciate that. But at this point that's probably Al, then Matt/Ryan, with me being maybe a distant fourth, if that. Doesn't matter. You got it done. That's what this thread is about.
