This has to be the earliest example of the your/you're spelling phenomenon. haha.

edit: wait! Did you spell it wrong again to make that point? Now I'm all over the place.

A common back of a fairly common HOFer, but this Jimmy Collins with a SC350,25, officially completes the backs line and HOFer set (minus the big two).

Once I get moved and all the guys back together, I’ll work on a post to show the full backs line with a different HOFer in each slot, plus Shag and Hooker in the two SL slots, and Merkle filling the slot left over after each HOFer.

Lots of fun pickups this month, congrats to all!

The card you posted made me curious about your site. You have a great collection of rare cards that present way better than their technical grades.

I have what I feel is only a decent collection compared to what others have and to what I use to have back in the 1980's and 90's, but having fun rebuilding it. Regarding grades. I have like most other collectors, a few cards that looks much better then their technical grades suggest.

Ha ha, fair enough. Most of us on this forum only have a "decent" collection when compared to the handful of members who have a world class, top level collection. But that's the great thing about the hobby, you can find a niche that works for you and build something you enjoy.

So, to rephrase, I enjoyed looking at your collection and appreciate your discerning eye for picking up nice looking rare cards, often of HOFers.

That is one heck of a card, Sam. Congrats!

Nice E107 Overprint! One of the very few, all of which are one of a kind, without the two spots of mounting damage at the top. A rarity among rarities.

[mordecaibrown1]

Thanks All! And Leon thats a great rare e107. Congrats!!

[Brian Van Horn]

Just wanted to pick this up before somebody claimed it was a childhood picture of Cy Young.

Ewing is one of my favorite T206s. That's a great looking example.
