Has anyone on here been to the Ty Cobb Museum in Royston, Georgia ? If so, your impressions, review, etc. Many cards or memororabilia displayed ?

I was there in August of 1998, which I believe is shortly after it had opened. I'm a huge Ty Cobb fan, and at the time, I had just finished reading Al Stump's book, Cobb. I happened to visit my uncle in SC, so I made the three hour trip. To me, it was worth stopping by. I don't know that it warrants a separate trip just to see it, but certainly worth stopping if you're in the area. I also stopped by the cemetary to see his grave, which I thought was neat as well. I think there was a a bit of memorabilia, but I don't recall a large collection of cards.

I stopped there a few years ago after visiting my boy at Ft Benning
Though I arrived 30 minutes after it closed, so had to look through the window.
Its in the complex of a hospital where Cobb had donated a huge sum of money.

In the 1990s, my dad and I stopped by the George Gipp (The Gipper) memorial in his tiny remote hometown of Lauriam Michigan. When we got to the town, my dad asked a girl where was the memorial, and she had no idea who was George Gipp.

The memorial was just a plaque on a brick wall in a small park, but I got my photo op in front of it.
