Posted By: <b>leon</b><p>A few more tidbits.....my guess is more folks like seeing these than respond....which is all good. I know I certainly like seeing a lot of it......Jackson cabinet and Cy.....sorry for the poor contrast on the cabinet...it was a real dark as a scan.....I am sure the original is awesome..enjoy. (I left the scans big as there shoudn't be anymore in this thread)<br /><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1140627151.JPG"> <img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1140627229.JPG"> <img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1140627250.JPG">

Posted By: <b>cmoking</b><p>These shots from Fogel's collection is all great stuff. I don't know about others - I love seeing them, but don't have much to respond...except by saying "Wow" - which doesn't add much to the thread. Please keep posting these as much as possible!

Posted By: <b>Martin Neal</b><p>I didn't want to say anything, but I thought the corners were a little soft, but, then again, it could be the scan.

Posted By: <b>jay behrens</b><p>Adam, he probably has one of the best, but it's probably a stretch to say it is the best. There are a lot of long time collectors out there with incredible collections that only a select few people have been able to see. I can think of at least 3 collections off the top of my head that are more than likely better than his. All 3 of these gentlemen have few if any slabbed cards.<br /><br />Jay<br><br>I've just reached Upper Lower Class. I am now officially a babe magnet for poor chicks.

Posted By: <b>Josh Adams</b><p>I've mentioned this before, but did not really get any response.<br />Why doesn't Marshall post on here himself? Not just the pictures of his cards, but his own stories about collecting, how he got started, any great "finds" he may have had? <br /><br />I would like to think that Marshall has some fantastic stories to go with his equally amazing collection. That is, if he's willing to share!<br /><br />Hope everyone's day is going well. <br><br>Go Go White Sox<br />2005 World Series Champions!

Posted By: <b>Rhys</b><p>That is a beautiful image on the cabinet, but it looks really weird. I have never seen a cabinet photo from that era which shows that much pronounced wear on the corners of the photo portion without extensive wear to the cabinet itself that was 100% authentic. It almost looks like a Real Photo Postcard that was stuck on there (either vintage or later). It is a beautiful piece, but just looks odd in its construction to me. Maybe the mount has more wear that was cropped out or something. <br /><br />Usually embossed framed cabinet photos are recessed inside the border so that in order for wear to show up on the photo portion there would be extensive wear to the raised frame portion which is not present in that piece. If that sounded confusing, it means that the little framed line around the photo is always raised higher than the photo so that there is almost never wear on the picture unless there is wear on the raised part. The only time I have seen this type of wear pattern is when people glued Real Photo Postcards to cabinets. This happens because the Postcard is several times thicker than a traditional photo from the era and would then be raised higher than the frame portion and receive the brunt of wear as opposed to the raised frame.<br /><br />It is impossible to say anything for sure without seeing it in person, but my guess would be this is a Real Photo Postcard which was glued to a cabinet either in 1909 or later.<br /><br />I do not think it really matters as far as value goes, but it is a an interesting piece in several aspects.<br /><br />
