T206 CREASE(s) CONTEST

[Bocabirdman]

My Rube is not available. I could never part with it. Just wanted to set the bar.

The fact that I had this card graded should get me some additional points.

(I'd like to think that I don't have OCD, but when it comes to cards...)

I think Waddell should be thrown out.

Creases are creases......................Mutilation is Waddell.

Are we judging on the basis of crease quality or crease quantity?

Roger here is laden with nearly 50 creases, but he presents well. His nose will heal.

Frank..... Mutilated creases are still creases

Mike,

Every time I see that Rube, it grows on me a little more

Way to set the bar.

Best,

Eric

I have a Waddell of my own, though it pales in comparison to the one posted earlier.

I bought it for a dollar in about 1982 from the local card shop I used to go to when I was a boy. It was my first T206, and I still have it today, just like this. It's the card that turned me on to T206s as a kid, and also the card that turned Rube Waddell into my favorite player from the era. This is still my favorite baseball card, all these years later.

Still, it is a fine example of Rube with 30 years of emotional attachment. He will be yours forever, I'd think.
