Ted,

Let's here the rest of the story regarding Jumpin" Joe and Norma Jean.

Patrick ...... I am glad you asked


Circa 1982, the scene is a New York City BB card show, in which Joe DiMaggio was the signing guest. As many of you old-timers may remember,
show promoters would warn autograph seekers not to present any item for Joe D to sign with Marilyn Monroe on it.

Well, at this show a dealer presented Joe a framed photograph of Joe to sign. Joe recognized this photo and took apart the frame, Joe removed
the cardboard backing and unfolded the other half of this photo. And, sure enough there was a photo of Marilyn....with her real signature on it.
Joe tore up this entire dual photograph in front of this "shocked" dealer, who went berserk.
It's my understanding that Joe, subsequently, reimbursed the dealer for the value of the Marilyn Monroe autograph.

As former sportscaster, Mel Allen, in his distinctive Southern drawl would say........" How's about that ? "

Ted, Thats an incredible looking Ty Cobb. I'm only 22 cards into the same set and even though I don't have any duplicates to trade, none of my 22 are on your want list. The scanner I use is around 10+ years old and does all scans nice and clear including raw, PSA, SGC, even coins raw and slabed. It's a flatbed Umax Astra 3400 running on Windows XP. It took some time getting it to work since the latest driver is for Windows ME. Not all the options work like auto on and off because of the driver but the scan features all work. I'd like to get a new scanner but afraid of the problem your running into with certain types of scans being fuzzy. Anyways, good luck on the final 15 and congrats on the first 60.

Thanks Ron

Good luck with this AB challenge. You'll find out that a dozen AB 460 subjects [Crandall, Devore, Duffy, Ford, Gandil, Geyer, Hummel, McGraw (glove), Pfeffer, Sheckard,
Tannehill, Wheat] are considerably more available than others from the 460-Only series. These guys must have been Double-Printed, or perhaps Triple-Printed.

And, I would say that mostly all the 28 subjects from the 350/460 series with AB 460 backs are quite tough to find.

I acquired a few more of these elusive AB 460 gems from Net54er's....you guys are the greatest....63 is my count now.

So, I still need these 11 cards to complete this AB 460 sub-set (comprising of 74 cards). Any help is really appreciated.
