Default T206 Merkle back run
I've been working on this for years, finished it in January, then had to wait until now due to a surprise in the REA auction. Please forgive the format, these huge pictures are all I can manage.

I bought this one off ebay not realizing it was a 42. The seller didn't know either. I was shocked when I received the card.

That is one stacked run, and what a beauty to finish it off with. Congrats!

Jim, for now I'll upgrade the set a bit, but eventually I'll start another run.

Here is why Merkle: In 2004 I bought an Uzit that just happened to feature Merkle. In 2005 I saw a Brown Lenox in a Lew Lipset auction, and I had to have it. It also featured Merkle. Having those two to start with, I always said I would make this run, though I didn't begin in earnest until 2008.
So as you can see, the run was an accident. But after those first two, I had to do it.
Good luck with Mcgraw.

That's basically the same for me with McGraw after picking up the Cycle and Black Lenox initially. Soon after I found myself picking up the Red Cross and a few others. Up to 9 different backs now!!
