I am breaking my word, I do have one more thing to say to you Sir. I apologize for this whole thing,, and I mean that with complete sincerity. Obviously, it is not my place to voice my opinion amongst you and you peers. I am 25, own ten T206 cards currently and have never made a single post or contribution to what you gentlemen do here, only used it once a few months ago to conduct research on Sovereign 350 ( apple/ lime green ) and Sovereign 460. However, when I went on the page about the Ty Cobb ( green portrait ) in regards to the centering I was honestly sort of shocked. I know people will present different facts and research and we all get to learn awesome new things by sharing acquired knowledge with each other, but to be completely honest, some of the things I saw were just very unsettling ( i.e. the Pinnochio pic etc. ). I know I do not know Mr. Z like any of you guys. I have only actually spoken to him two separate times right around Christmas when we were talking trade and he was a very nice man. He taught me about Jack Dunn and Shag Shaughnessey and really had a passion for these cards, just like I do with my Dad. I do not question anyones knowledge AT ALL, that is what makes these sites so fun. I bet you could teach me things that would blow my rookie mind. I guess I just really found some of that stuff to be way, way too much and it bothered to a point where I decided to chirp about it and not think about the negative aspects of my action whatsoever. There really is nothing else I can say, other than I am sorry for disrupting what you and your friends do here. It is fantastic and nothing can match the experts who have seen it all first hand. Nada. I hope you and your friends continue to enjoy your cards and good luck finding what you covet. ALL of you guys do really great work. I mean that. I will stay in my place from now on and just use the site for research as I originally intended.

Derek
