Came today. Borders trimmed off, but not a crease on the image and is as clear as can be Sorry for the bad iPhone photo.

Yeah 'Stache the colors are pretty striking..the old candy/tobacco cards are just so unique compared to the cards I grew up collecting from the 80/90s. Who said you need a hologram or lots of shiny foil or "1 of 50000" stamped on your card to make it something beautiful and special. I've also been blown away by some of the deeper and more vibrant vintage cards that appear as though they have never seen the light of day. Pretty cool stuff!!

WOW, that is a stunning Cicotte! I've recently started collecting Black Sox Players and that card is now on my top want list.

Most of the time, you start a project and it turns out to be harder than it seems like it should be. Given that I almost never get access to Old Judges, I figured a Billy Sunday run would take me a very long time. I have always thought Sunday, who became really the first major national evangelist and was a major voice in the ratification of prohibition (sorry about that). Anyway I picked one up in an auction a couple of years back and decided I would put together a run. Jay really helped me out, and i picked up a couple of others. The last one I needed came up in an auction just recently. In fact, it came up in two auctions at the same time so I felt like I got a good buy. I will probably upgrade the Chicago with bat eventually, but just finished up my run in a little over a year without really feeling like I paid too much for any of the bunch.
