Let's hope it was won by either Anthony, Brian or Tim. Dude, I am glad you aren't related to Ty Cobb. It could get kind of expensive (plus I need a few of Uncle Ty's cards). |
I picked up the card in the Goodwin auction, but it looks like Anthony was able to get one for his set (post #50).
I do not post here often, because whenever I share my collection it tends to raise the blood pressure of a certain few. I can understand their frustration; everyone wants to get the cards that they want at the price that they want, but if a card of a family member is worth more to me than a card of just another random player to fill a hole in a set is to someone else, so be it. The cards are out there (the Goodwin auction as an example) and I have no delusion of owning every card in existence. I collect the cards that I enjoy, just like everyone else here.
