I think you need to get rid of that '37 Williams/San Diego, Derek (drool)! Where in the world did you find that one???

Sorry, no scanner yet (Michigan's economy sucks for an attorney primarily dealing with lay clients!), but at the moment, I would list these which I have:

1. 1907 Dietsch Fielding Pose Cobb
2. 1923 Lections Ruth
3. 1931-32 Exhibits Ruth (from the movie stars set)
4. 1955 Exhibits Postcard Back Mantle
5. 1947 Tip-Top Kiner (a hero of mine since I was about 11);

and one I would really like to acquire in any kind of decent shape:

1. 1939 R303 Goudey Premium Ted Williams

Some really fantastic cards, gentlemen!

Happy collecting,

Larry

I agree! It's such a unique expression to see on Cobb's face -- not only a smile, but what looks like genuine... joy? It's rare to see thsi expression on a person who was supposedly tormented by so many demons. I wonder if the photographer cracked a joke or did something funny to get such a reaction from the Georgia Peach. Great piece!

This card has been in my wallet for 30 years now...Pete O'Brien played for the Huskers when I was a kid.
