After all the depressing graded card threads here is one for ungraded cards. If it doesn't get any traction, I will pack it in and accept that there is nothing for me and the hobby part of baseball cards is gone. This thread is for anyone and everyone who isn't in it for the money, worried about their card's monetary value, or trimming or wrinkles or any of that.
I will happily congratulate anyone who posts here. My wife got this one for me the other day, surprise, which almost never happens. It fits in nicely with my 1939 Play Ball cards, which are mainly beaters (what I love about them), and he is one of my all-time favorites. This card didn't even get noticed in another thread I posted it to, probably because it isn't graded, isn't rare and didn't cost enough.

No need to be quite so defeatist, Eeyore!
Nice card, and even nicer that your wife picked it up for you.

James,
A sweet Cecil Travis card if you ask me! But I am biased towards Senators too. I need this one for my Senators team sets. I am closing on on my Topps and Bowman runs first and then I will start working backwards to those sets as well. My thought about the slab things is this. For my PC, I'll by them in the slabs if it is a reasonable cost, but soon after they arrive, they are set free and find a nice home in my binder pages next to their friends! Cheers, Butch

So far these are all incredibly nice cards. Congratulations to all of you!
I really like having my cards so that I can look at them and hold them in my hands. Other than a few that are put away, I do it all the time. My wife can't understand how I can do that over and over, but it never gets old!

This may be my favorite card now. After receiving it in the mail; digesting the back story; I left positive feedback. "I am honored to take care of your Dad's card." It is a hobby of love for me.
Ben "I love baseball history backstory; especially when it involves cards." |

I spent about 45 minutes today placing raw 1994 Merlin Calcio soccer cards
into binder sheets. The cards are beautiful and included stars like Dennis Bergkamp, Paul Gascoigne, franco Baresi, on and on. It was a blast and it brought back good memories. Trent King |

Everything I have is raw, except for a 6-7 cards in my trade bait box.
75% of my vintage cards aren't sleeved. Here's a stack of several hundred raw T cards without plastic in sight, just as they were enjoyed by kids 113 years ago. |

Can’t say I’ve ever had a desire to buy graded. Beyond needing something authenticated, having a numerical grade doesn’t make or break a card for me.

Why does this thread make me channel Jackie DeShannon signing a tune by the great Burt Bacharach.
Maybe Spaeth can post a card of Jackie & Burt, if anybody has one he does. |
