Posted By: <b>Cat fan</b><p> Josh Gibson cards? If it is not much trouble, please post pics. I have always been intrigued by the player. Thanks<br /><br /> P.S. do any of you fellow collectors cross over into comics?

Posted By: <b>jay behrens</b><p>The only Josh Gibson cards you will find are tribute cards. The only things that exist from his playing days are photographs and postcards.<br /><br />I used to own a gaming and comic store in Sacramento in the mid 90s. I didn't really colelct any comics, just aided my son's addiction to Spider-Man. I've always been a Batman fan but some of the newer titles like Astro City, Transmetropolitan, Strangers in Paradise and Milk & Cheese were always great reads. I have a buddy who just got his first 2 comics published, Devil Water and The Sword published by King Tractor Press. I got prerelease copies and both look very good.<br /><br />Jay<br><br>I've just reached Upper Lower Class. I am now officially a babe magnet for poor chicks.

Posted By: <b>Cat Fan</b><p> Thanks Hal and others. I was unaware that no cards existed (absent tributes). I was under the impression that some were being sold on E-bay a while back. One was apparently of a Latin variety. Anyhow, thanks guys. Any Superman comic book fans?

Posted By: <b>Hal Lewis</b><p>No, Gibson's son is featured on the "Polar" card with the senior Gibson and Cool Papa Bell.<br /><br />Oh wait... that card hasn't leaked out yet.

Posted By: <b>Cat Fan</b><p> Gators better look out this weekend, Hal. I think my cats may be gearing up for a run. Hal, how long have you had your Ty Cobb back card?

Posted By: <b>Hal Lewis</b><p>I think I got it in 2003 in a Mastro or REA auction.<br /><br />Sure wish that crease would get "soaked and pressed" out of there!<br /><br /><img src="/images/wink.gif" height=14 width=14><br /><br />
