Does anyone own high-grade prewar cards?

No one that I've ever heard of. Great idea though Rob!

Thanks, Richard. KBats are scary addictive; difficult to believe their crisp images were taken in ballyards 125 years ago. George Wood, as you probably are aware, is a Canajun, a Maritimer no less. One of the fellows on the Board who hails from PEI posted recently that Wood was inducted into the Canadian BBHoF this year.

David -- I don't doubt what you say. I've never seen a KBat in person, but am always blown away by the quality of the images in scans I've seen.

Richard.

NB. And yes, I'm aware of Wood being a fellow Canuck and now a member of the, uh, prestigious Canadian BBHoF.

Here's the highest graded signed T206 card that I've ever seen. It is originally from the Jeff Morey collection.

Speaking of Chief Meyers, this is my highest grade card and only 8. Watch out, Crandall, I am catching up. Seems that M116s show up in better condition than other cards from that era, presumably because of the way they were distributed.

Like a clown car, you never know how many are inside.
As the clown group that has the penultimate edge on us all would surely say " We wish you the best whilst you fail ...great idea indeed!"

Here's the best I've got right now

I had some high hopes for this one but a nearly invisible bend brought it down a bit.
