Thanks for starting this thread, Mark -- possibly our favorite (inevitably) in our seven years on board here!
Gotta say we really like your Wachter's (and we don't say that to many guys
).
Really enviable pieces shown by everyone so far!
Greg -- is there any way we could prevail upon you to scan the inside and back pages of the Ty Cobb rule book for us?
Bob -- Kollmorgen's nephew and the son of
You Pitch creator Ken Cook both contributed some background info
about those games at our own Forum.
Brent -- we've never seen the little blue-and-red game seen at the lower right of your hockey display. Could you give us
a little more information about it?
Our own collections have more quantity than quality, and at least two other guys on board here have game collections
the quality of which dwarfs ours -- but since it's so rare in here that we have any excuse to show off our stuff,
and before those other guys chime in with exceptionally hard acts to follow and make us look like pikers,
here are just a few of our favorites, with several more not present due to us not having decent photos of them...
hope nobody minds...
