Hey Bill, how you been? The "idea" to go after these was born wholly on this board. I saw some of Sean's signed Goudeys, then made a group purchase on the board about a year and half ago. "Irwin Fletcher" had an amazing collection of signed Diamond Stars for sale and I ended up snagging all but one of his HOFers (still kicking myself for passing on the one, Lloyd Waner). I have been picking them up here and there ever since, as well as other signed pre-war stuff. I think DS are perfect for autographs and given they have similar color schemes, look great displayed together. They seem to come up for sale here and there. I was very happy to score the Terry on eBay, and another board member ended up with the Waner from the same seller. I'll email you some pics (some day I'll take time to upload my cards to site)
