Posted By: <b>Dan Bretta</b><p>This is a card I did not know existed until just two weeks ago when it appeared in one of my ebay searches. I am pretty certain this is the only nationally issued card of a Lincoln minor league player - where the Lincoln team is designated on the card.<br /><br /><a href="http://s22.photobucket.com/albums/b331/nudan92/Nebraska%20Baseball%20Memorabila/?action=view&current=colganunglaub.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b331/nudan92/Nebraska%20Baseball%20Memorabila/colganunglaub.jpg" border="0" alt="Bob Unglaub"></a>

Posted By: <b>Jason L</b><p>if I had to pick a card, I had my 'Monster' epiphany with this little piece of cardboard. The artistic depth and color quality, combined with the noteworthy character depicted, opened my eyes to the images that are littered throughout the set...and so my Quest has taken a different path than first anticipated!<br /><br />[IMG]<img src="http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l289/smallcapdaddy/T206Merkle-ThrowingSGC50.jpg">[/IMG]<br />

Posted By: <b>Tim Newcomb</b><p>Man, those are some incredible cards, guys. I'm drooling.<br /><br /><br />My own fave is more prosaic, but it did restore my wavering faith that bargains can still be found on ebay. A week earlier another set of these had gone for $1500-- I got mine for less than 5.<br /><br /><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=280214154304&ssPa geName=STRK:MEWN:IT&ih=018" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=280214154304&ssPa geName=STRK:MEWN:IT&ih=018</a>
