I'm taking this in slowly, like sipping a fine brandy.

So far, I'm up to the Goudey Gehrigs and the '54 Topps Aaron in the featured items section, and I'm drooling all over the place like one of Pavlov's dogs. Seriously, it's not pretty.

If you're a Ty Cobb fan, especially, you've got to be absolutely floored right now. The T206 Bat Off Shoulder with the Uzit back is damned sexy, and then there's the gooooorgeous Turkey Red. Jesus, Mary, Joseph, and all the Saints. Put those two cards side by side. The colors are spectacular. No modern card touches these. The old ways are the best.

And I'd gladly give my left nut for the PSA 8 '34 Goudey Gehrig portrait.
