Posted By: <b>Seth B.</b><p>I've been living in Italy and will continue to be there until next May, so I've been trying to stop thinking about cards, but I just can't help it!<br /><br />When I return to the good ole US of A, I am 3 measly cards away from a T209-1 set, and I'll also be collecting the T209-2. Right now, the fact that I'm only looking means that I can deal with the tanking dollar.

Posted By: <b>DMcD</b><p>Holy Moses! Some awful nice cards on this thread. And Dan P., terrific on-line collection; your basement is Cardboard Heaven! <br /><br />From my photo site, and I quote: "My focus now, although broad and eclectic, is to seek cards I like with an emphasis on cabinet cards and type-card collecting, and a tendency toward certain players such as Christy Mathewson, John McGraw, Home Run Baker and Joe Wood."<br /><img src="http://photos.imageevent.com/kawika_o_ka_pakipika/bbbofsfirstclass/bbhofthefirstclass/websize/Falk%20Studio%20Cab.%20Mathewson%20ca.%201905.jpg" > <img src="http://photos.imageevent.com/kawika_o_ka_pakipika/bbbofsfirstclass/holygrailcards/websize/GGBain_McGraw.jpg"><br />Joe D. - recognize the photographer on the Matty cabinet?<br /><br /><img src="http://photos.imageevent.com/kawika_o_ka_pakipika/bbbofsfirstclass/holygrailcards/websize/T205%20Baker.jpg"> <img src="http://photos.imageevent.com/kawika_o_ka_pakipika/bbbofsfirstclass/holygrailcards/websize/TSN%20Wood.jpg"><br><br>Um. Wow. Vintage cards, scantily-clad Polynesian maidens, uku-zillion penguins, authentic Dutch people and more at . .<br /><a href="http://ImageEvent.com/kawika_o_ka_pakipika" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://ImageEvent.com/kawika_o_ka_pakipika</a><br />Password=aloha

Posted By: <b>G. Maines</b><p>I started out with an assembly similar to that of Dan P, without the rookie focus; and it degraded to a collection commemorating my perception of the annual highlights of the sport, 1876-2000.

Posted By: <b>Joe D.</b><p>David,<br /><br />The Matty photo was the single item I liked in the auction.<br />I had my own internal battle but in the end, I was not a bidder due to other distractions.<br /><br />I love that photo and the Falk stamp on the cabinet takes it off the charts.<br /><br /><br />I wondered where it went....<br />I am happy to see it is in your collection!<br />Although, as has been the case many many times - - I am green with envy....<br />It is awesome that such an incredible Matty is in your hands.<br /><br /><br />BTW... my one regret at the national is not having the chance to sit and talk with you. I am sure we were in the same room at times.... but somehow we didn't bump into each other. Hopefully we get together at a future national.<br /><br /> <br /><br />Joe<br />

Posted By: <b>david Poses</b><p>Not sure exactly what I am doing is right now. I am simultaneously chasing E-cards of specific Highlanders players, and am trying to assemble a T209-1 set, which currently stands at 0 cards. I have been stalking certain collectors I know are in possession of said cards, though, so hopefully my amateur sleuthing will yield favorable results. <br /><br />The antithesis of this topic, what am I NOT focusing on, is another matter. I am focusing on NOT buying T206s. They're so readily available and when I can't find something I "need," I find myself buying bits and pieces of The Monster, which I subsequently try to unload on the BST in large lots at a loss so as to finance the aforementioned cards, which are never available anyway. <br /><br />In an attempt to compromise with myself, I have a clause which allows me to buy any Gordon Hickman T206 card I see, which isn't often, as I think I have managed to corner much of the market in the past few years. <br /><br />In summary, my focus is on: (A) preventing T206s from finding their way into my collection, and (B) stalking people who I think might be in possession of tough cards I need for survival. Oh yeah. And the Gordon Hickman thing. And a G.I. Joe with the Kung Fu grip...
