Ok, I’m whining. I’m not sure if I have any jewels in the collection. I have my first Cobb with the paper loss that I bought from Larry Fritsch in the mid 80s. I have a cool Walter Johnson portrait. A cool Hal Chase 42. No real rare cards in there…



I’m 51 years old and I feel like throwing in the towel. Maybe getting the spread sheet back up and running will give me the spark I need to add to the set instead of selling it all off.
Collecting ebbs and flows. Hang in there. Once a collector always a collector.
