Simply amazing - the undoctored Cobb is in !!
 
Posted By: <b>RICK</b><p>just something to lighten up the forum after seeing so many back and forth posts about the "infamous" E95<br />awhile back we had a post of "best card/ worst condition"<br />At that time I promised the Judge a scan which I am still having trouble producing. Maybe with Bill's help it will majically appeaar.<br />This is my Best card/ worst condition.<br />It is "undoctored"<br />Not for sale,never been sold, bought back, sold, and bought back again. It is so ugly only a mother could love it.<br />The only thing a black light would do to this card is embarass it.<br />It is chipped, mis cut, creased,rounded, crinckled, off center, dull, not to mention stained.You name it, this T205 has it.<br />and I love it.!!<br />Try to beat it.<br />rick<br /><br /><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/V_B_C/creasedcobb.jpg">

Posted By: <b>Gilbert Maines</b><p>Burnt nearly to a crisp would certainly be in worse shape, but it would never have near the character of this card. This Cobb has been loved into its current condition.

Posted By: <b>Max Weder</b><p>The stained glass comment leads me back to an ebay posting a number of years ago. The seller was listing some item, but had some fantastic pictures of stained glass windows with a baseball motif, that he said were taken from Johnny Kling's hotel in Kansas City. Despite my best efforts, he said they were not for sale (why did he post them, I asked?). I saved the pictures, then took them to a local stained glass artisan, who replicated (with his artistic differences) a stained glass window which now graces one of our windows. I will post a picture tomorrow of the new window, but wanted to ask whether anyone had saved the original photos of Kling's window, as I lost my jpgs of them when a hard drive crashed.<br /><br />Thanks,<br /><br />Max

Posted By: <b>qualitycards</b><p>JULIE - Not sure of his religion.<br />But he was a good catcher on those early pennant winning teams, and he even won a Billiards title and took a year off of Baseball to tour. And the Cubs didn't win the Pennant while he was gone.
