			It's late, I'm tired, perfect time to post a card of the notorious "Sleepy" Bill Burns (Ol' Sleepy couldn't even get his glove on properly). Thanks Larry!

|  '41 Play Ball toughie........... 
			
			Been looking for a decent '41 Play Ball Eddie Miller for some time. Thought this would have graded at least a PSA5. The centering is spot on, and the color/registration is superb. The reverse is spotless, centered, with very bold, black type. I'll keep looking, but I'm very happy with this card in the meantime.

			Hate to be the bearer of bad news, Anthony. According to haulsofshame.com your Wonka McDonald T206 was one of the items taken in a burglary at the home of collector Lionel Carter a few years back. (Is the FBI reading?) I feel your pain, brah.

			i have been out of the hobby for almost 20 years after getting burned on a card advertised in SCD. i used to think i had a nice collection and knew a lot about T206 until i discovered this site a few weeks ago. you folks are amazing with your collections and your knowledge. i think i caught the T206 fever again. Back in the hobby for only 2 weeks, but it has been a pretty good 2 weeks. Thanks to my wife Jeanette for giving me Gaspar and Davis as a gift. |

			PSA spelled Byram's name wrong, opting for "Bryam."  Nice.

			Get well soon to all those with medical bills.  Hopefully you will be back to winning (and paying for) ultra rare high grade cards in the near future.

			Thanks Jason. I'm not working on a Sov. set, but I am working on a low grade set with particular attention to the backs. So far half of my cards are Sovereign, but I really just want a nice mix of different backs.
