Sean, having small run envy?

You have the top two, that's already a great start. This should become a show your run thread. :D

Blunder19 11-05-2013 05:31 PM

If there are any other big back runs out there I would sure love to see them!

jlehma13 11-05-2013 05:39 PM

It's been said over and over but that is awesome. Well done.

Al C.risafulli 11-05-2013 05:51 PM

Wow, Jamie.

That's absolutely amazing. Thanks so much for sharing. Tremendous.

Jamie, I've looked at this 4 times since you posted. :o I can't keep away. I have to say it again, amazing accomplishment!

sago 11-05-2013 08:09 PM

Outstanding run.
Are you going to try for an Uzit back as well?

David

Edited: probable no print.

mattsey9 11-05-2013 10:22 PM

This is one of the most amazing things I've ever seen in 30 years of collecting. Well done, sir!

slidekellyslide 11-06-2013 09:40 AM

Eh...whatever. I am unimpressed...where's the Ty Cobb back??? WTF???

Just kidding! :D That scan is amazing!

Well done!

Deertick 11-06-2013 03:27 PM

Jamie,
Have you thought to take them to a print shop an have a poster made? I'd buy one! :D

rustywilly 11-06-2013 06:21 PM

WOW!

Jamie - You didn't tell me there was a 460 on the radar, very nice. Glad I could help and happy the AB ended up in a beautiful collection owned by a great guy. Congrats!!! Pretty cool...

Big Ben 11-07-2013 02:52 PM

Wow.......cool to look at!

atx840 11-14-2013 03:17 PM

Hey Jamie, Chase says "Hi" :D

Thanks to several board members, especially Ted, for putting a few of the tougher cards in this run.

Chris, has that day already arrived???

Congrats on an awesome run regardless.

Great run Chris! On this Goodwin's item, is it just me or does the hammer price seem really steep for that card? I hope it wasn't a situation of shill bidding because some people knew Chris really needed that one.

atx840 11-16-2013 02:09 PM

Meet The Cobbs...
 
Thanks guys.

It's a surprisingly tough one to acquire and with the master set builders, Chase collectors and P42s being in demand it was the right combination.

meet the cobbs,chases,lajoies
 
after a decade on this board, I thought I'd seen it all.
boy, was I wrong. The Cobb run is beyond breathtaking, Jamie. Nothing has
stunned me more on this fine board.
The Chase and Lajoie runs are amazing, too.
congratulations, fellas.

what a great hobby!
all the best,
barry

Jamie...you work very quickly...it'd be amazing if someday it were truly complete cobb back, t214/15's and all!!!!

Anyone have any T,D,E(non t206) runs? Thanks Chris for the presentation! Heres the latest rendition of the "millers."

freakhappy 11-17-2013 09:19 PM

Jamie, Chris, Rob and Pete....awesome runs! These types of displays are part of why this board is such a great place to visit.

Pete...what was your reason to target Miller as your back run? Very nice by the way.

atx840 11-17-2013 09:29 PM

Pete, is there a blue Crofts?

ullmandds 11-17-2013 09:30 PM

Yes...somewhere!:)

ullmandds 11-17-2013 09:40 PM

Ya know mike...i had always liked the pose...the silliness of the size of the mitt...kinda like catcher in the rye. I acquired the e102 first which is a pretty tough card to get...from there it just grew. I love the runs...it combines type collecting and set collecting...keeps me entertained as i still need 5-7 really really toughies.

That's what makes this hobby so special and unique...we decide what we like and we run with it! Good luck the rest of the way!

Jaime, I'm hijacking your thread to say that I found another Merkle. I just need one more to finish my back run (T215 Red Cross).
So if anyone has one and wants to help me/ hold me up, please let me know.

atx840 11-27-2013 05:42 PM

Woot woot Sean!!!

ullmandds 11-28-2013 09:56 AM

nice Sean...that t215 will turn out sooner than later!!!! The washed out look of t213-3 has really grown on me over the years!

Blunder19 11-28-2013 10:03 AM

HI Sean.

Great Card!.. how many Merkles do you have all together for your run now?

Here is an updated pic of the cobbs.. since I started this thread I was able to acquire the tough Sov 460 (Thanks to Chris and Johnny) and Pied 460 Fact 42 (Thanks to Scott and Hank)

I'm up to 24 Different Cobbs... and still actively looking for the EPDG and the T213-3 Coupon.... Cobb back maybe one day :)

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Wow man what an accomplishment

atx840 11-28-2013 01:34 PM

Congrats Jamie, both tough ones. Only the EPDG needed for a complete T206 brand run?
