Default A MONSTER Thank You ...

Hello to my fellow board members.

I wanted to post this thread to thank the Net54 community for what has been an absolutely wonderful experience overall. I have thoroughly enjoyed myself, along with my Father Michael, and many of you have been so very, very fantastic to us over the years. We cannot thank you enough, truly.

The reason I post this is to illustrate a point, but to also share cards with my fellow collectors. This community has done many good things in my experience, including plenty of peaceful transactions are great friendships. Many here give us their absolute best efforts to ensure that we are not defrauded, and the hobby is kept clean and wholesome, despite the fact that the marketplace for these little pieces of paper has been downright jaw dropping over the years, at least to me.

As I share these cards now, I would very much like to send my thanks to one of my favorite T206 buddies, Luke Lyon, who took the time to make this very nice display for me. Also, there are board members who worked with me so that I would be able to add these pieces to my collection, which I am truly grateful to be caring for.

For a little over five years I have been piecing together my favorite backs with some of my favorite Hall of Fame subjects, and after many trades and deals, this is my progress thus far. There will be some moving of pieces at some point, which will hopefully lead me to my personal holy grail someday, a Hall of Fame Broad Leaf 460, essentially of any subject, because beggars cannot be choosers.

In closing, I would like to offer sincere thanks to all you, my fellow collectors. This is such a strong community, and I consider myself fortunate to be part of it. I hope my relationships here last a long, long time.

Thank you Net54! (And Thanks Again LUKE!)

Derek

PS

If it is ok with everyone, please feel free to post some pictures of your own favorite T206's in this thread. I could look at these little beauties all day long...

Johnny, if I had to choose between buying a small house or hanging onto my favorite T206 dudes, I think I would just pitch a tent on the beach, or maybe build a shack in the woods.

Thank you for the kind compliments guys! A compliment is much appreciated, but sharing your favorite T206 pieces is bliss ... hint, hint

Derek- Congrats!

While I have not gotten 'card back' fever as yet, when I see some displayed as you do, I am sure I will catch the bug soon.

I've told you before, but your collection is truly amazing. Here's one I did of some of my 150-350 portraits. Also, I just figured out how to make yours bigger.

Thank you Luke! Your run is awesome man. I love that Joss Old Mill. We should merge our collections into one happy family

Awesome trio Dean! That Lajoie is very, very interesting me me. I have seen two other "Frederick Benedict Gessner" back stamps on Brown Hindu's; a John McGraw "portrait-no cap" which I owned in the long, long ago, which had the word "Princeton" written in caligraphy on the back, and a Greminger. I have always wanted to gather more information on these. If anyone knows anything we should have story time.

Awesome combos for Matty and Cy as well. I need a Cy Young and do not have a Cycle 460 either! It is trading season after all ... Chief Bender might like a new home

Depending on which beach you go to pitching a tent may not be too hard

Thank you Matty!

For anyone who has not met Matt yet, he is a sweet kid. In fact, he worked with me to the add the Cobb red Piedmont 42 I posted in this thread.

It just so happens that Mr. Matthew Eppers will be eligible for next years MLB draft (and will hopefully end up with my Mets!). He is a natural athlete, tremendous center fielder, and an absolute triples machine.

WOW, Mr. Zanidakis, your collection is one of the most extensive that I have ever had the privilege of seeing. Thank you for everything you have taught me about these cards. You are one of the guys who helped me early on to focus my collecting interests whereas I used to be like a chicken running around with my head cut off.

Please keep those T206's coming comrades

Derek

Thanks Derek! I would love to find out more about Mr. Gessner. I tried looking up some info on him but didn't get anything. I'll keep trying. It would be cool to see how extensive his collection was.

Here's another card I can't stop looking at. The centering, color and registration just jump out at me. Add in the fat over-sized borders and I just cant put it down.

That is a fearsome foursome Michael. I miss that Evers, but I love the fact that it has found a loving home.

Dean, that is a wonderful Cobb. He has the rosiest red cheeks, and a lovely pinkish hue going

Who will be the first to floor me and whip out a Hall of Fame Broad Leaf 460, something which has always eluded me in my Monster hunt?

Keep em' coming guys. Awesome cards.

Derek

Default He should have been a HOFer

This Hal Chase is my all-time favorite T206 image; and, I have been searching for 34 years for the DRUM card of Chase to complete this "Quintuplicate" sub-set.
For all I know, this Hal Chase card may have never been printed with a DRUM back.....and, I've been on a "wild goose" chase all these years.
