A Bird in the Hand...

I do this all of the time on the card side. I have to try to stay focused or I will go crazy. Many times I have something in my sights and something else comes along that I buy instead. I guess it's part of collecting. The main thing I wanted to say is love that photo and love the back stamps too!!

That is a great photo! It is packed up and ready to go out on Monday. Enjoy it!

In that you are correct Mr. Gaynor! Thanks again Scott, always a pleasure doing business with you. BTW... this is my third Mantle/Wingfield photo!

It's an ongoing dilemma, Jimmy....

I decided to take the opposite route this time, and have had "blinders" on since the Mastro Catalogue came out. There's just too much stuff in there, that is right up my alley. If I come out of it with just 1 or 2 pieces, I'll be thrilled. Some of the prices are already insanely high, with 3 - 4 days still remaining

Just wanted to add congrats on that great pickup... that is an "epic" early image of Mantle... simply a classic photo!

I am rather disturbed by your use of the phrase "settled for" in conjunction with this photograph.

I hope that you were using the phrase jokingly.

What a great photograph!

Congratulations.

No Tim. It is "I" who is disturbed!

Of course I was kidding. I have to remember to use the "faces" when appropriate.

Thanks to Leon, Tim & Mark for the kind words. And I agree with Mark, that it's a ongoing battle of which one to choose, but I tend to take the first one that's presents itself. Good luck to all on the upcoming Mastro auction!

Thanks for clearing that up.


Actually I have a photo of "The Babe" that I "settled for" that I should share with you here when I get a chance. Something that I didn't know the significance of when I got it and have quickly learned that it is better than I thought.
