I am just a amateur T210 collector, good luck on your quest.

Ben, you are no amateur. I now have 6 of the 39 series eight cards that are not in the T211 set, which are possibly the toughest 39 in that series (like the Birmingham and Memphis cards). I was just seeing if I could get any response to one of my posts. Like the O'Hara I posted, I post cards that are a big deal to me, and often get no response. It makes me wonder what I'm doing wrong? Anyway, I'm glad someone sees my cards, thanks!

This is an awesome site but unless you are posting a very expensive card it rarely gets any response in the monthly show off threads.

I am having enough trouble finding beaters in my price range in the T210's that I have not attempted any of the T211 cards.

Ben, I thought we were a group of collectors who shared a love for cards. Isn't this the place to share recent acquisitions regardless of price? I view it as a place that I can share my excitement with the only people on earth who would understand. To call it "showing off" is disrespectful and Presumptuous. I personally don't need to "show off" a damn thing. And since I didn't print the card, am not related to Ty Cobb, and did not cure Polio, I am not sure what there would be to show off about. I am sharing my excitement with the only people who will appreciate it since my wife, kids, and friends don't. I have always liked your posts, and you seem like a decent guy, but that is out of line.

Guys,

You both are really good guys on here. I don't think Ben was aiming at you, Orly, or your beautiful Cobbs. It was just a response to me. I think we have enough strife on other threads, and I was not trying to make any kind of statement one way or the other. I really was just curious if anyone read anything I write, because I rarely get any kind of response. Both of you are top notch guys that appreciate the cards, price be darned. I value the contributions of both you guys. Sorry if my comment got things off track here, and I hope we can all be friendly with our discourses. Let's all have a fun day, I hope?

Ed

I was just stating a fact that high priced and high graded cards get all the replies. The lower end stuff is just as nice to see but rarely get any replies. This has been brought up many times before. It was not meant to be derogatory against anybody.

3 new T206 Evers, Chicago Shirt, to add to my back run effort, which already includes a Red Hindu and Broad Leaf 350 (sorry for teh busted pic). Please email or text me if you have any Evers or Tinker (bat offs) for sale or trade.

Nice Evers' Ryan!

And that O'Hara is awesome Ed!

When I post here I like to post my best as well, but tend not to get much response. Here is a recent pick-up...do you think it is more valuable because it measures tall and has a wide white gap in the middle?

Seems like you are starting with the tough ones and working backwards! Great subject for a back run. I only have the Piedmont, but I bought it from Dr. Frank, so I like it a lot.
