Here's a C. 1930's Bobby Veach Coal Company Ad Card with Ty Cobb, Bobby Veach & Sam Crawford

That is incredibly cool JB!

So, I know some of you guys don't take a shine to beaters, but to me, these are some of the best cards I own. When I first started collecting, I thought I could never get an example of either of these two. Yet here they are. Funny, I was reading an old thread, and someone was describing a Demmitt with writing on the front, and right after that I found this one, and thought, "Well, it doesn't bother me too much." I think it is the nicest Demmitt I've seen for (barely) under $1K in the last two years. And I love this Cobb image, maybe I will be able to get the T216 Cobb leaning on bat someday after all!

April Pick-ups. For some reason, started collecting Exhibits all of a sudden.
