Thanks Guys...yeah I picked them up on good old ebay. I paid for them but am always happy to add good Babe and lou images to the "vault"
(i.e. mattress).

PS: I cannot believe how big the sun/shadows makes Babe's nose look. It is ginormous!!!

I already have a real nice Hoak 3x5 that I'm using for my 1960 pirates project, and was debating on whether to use that for the 55 dodgers and try to find a 60 or 61 pirates signed card when I found this.

I didn't know how many years it would take to add the second of my four holy grails to my collection, but thanks to my good friend Mark Steinberg, this beauty just arrived.


That kid in the background looks a lot like me, but I'm not sure we are related The trophy and I are now engaged

Mike - I am stoked for you man! Cant believe how many times over the last few years you've talked about "landing" a Spalding and you finally got one!!! I know I am in the minority, but the example you "landed" is my favorite. And you bought a car today as well. Seriously, I have as big a smile as your daughter. Thrilled for you bro.

Jonathan,
Nice Joe Jackson! What year is it from?

Go ahead and marry it Mike, cause you're not going to find a better one!

Mike, What a beauty!!!!! Congrats!!!! Those Spalding's are so great, and that's my favorite one I think. I remember a story your bud Ryan Simms told me, that before he got one...his wife would chide him about ordering the more expensive bottle of wine at dinner because she said "that money could be going towards your Spalding trophy"
