No we could tell you didn't write for an AH, your clarity lacked hyperbole and improper syntax. Great Baker card!

Thanks. I'm learning Frank has a lot of cool cards. But you probably already knew that.

I will have to practice on the auctionspeak....

Even corner wear consistent with a VG-EX example and reasonably clean surfaces contribute to the fine aesthetics, and, unbeknownst to the casual observer, the uncompromising demeanor of this cardboard specimen's resolve harkens back to an era of effervescent....

Have picked up quite a few Series 8 T210s lately in auctions, here's one I won tonight plus a Series 1 won tonight.

Love this because of centering, not the usual OJ, and relatively strong image. Not sure why "A"--if you want to hazard a guess, please do. Paper loss on back seems minor...

Nice image but I suspect Foutz is the recipient of a new back. Looks like the albumen print (photo) falls short of reaching the back on more than one border. So I suspect it is graded "A" due to being re-backed. Perhaps you can tell me otherwise with the card in hand.

[GregMitch34]

Could be, but doesn't SGC usually put "re-backed" or "skinned" at the top?

A couple blockbuster deals lately have brought in around 200 HOFers, but I won't bore you with 200 pics! Here's just a few that I've recently picked up that I liked. Sorry for the large pics.

I am collecting the earliest HOF card I can possibly get of each player. In my mind all 300 cards I have (one card per player) is available for trade or sale as long as I'm getting something I can replace it with.

I agree with Joe, rebacked and possibly trimmed a little bit on the bottom and left side. It's still a beautiful example, many of the Browns Champ cards have a weak photo.

I've had a dream month, my friend, with more expected soon! I'm out of dough though, so be expecting some listings soon. I really like the Gehrig, too, BUT I'd love to use it as trade bait for another Gehrig. ANYONE?
