Great intro which resonated with my re-introduction to the hobby as well. As a Red Sox fan that Speaker is one of my all time favorites! Your psa 5 is amazing. Are you starting on the 14 or 15 CJ's?

Thanks, AJ, for the compliment. I love that card. It's probably the closest thing I have to a perfectly centered T206. The more I read about Speaker, the more I like him. He was actually a really good guy. He maybe didn't have the stats Cobb did, but he came with less baggage, too. I still feel like his cards are undervalued.

As far as CJs, I'll admit I just broke the ice with my first card with a '14 GC Alexander. To be honest, I would prefer to collect the more budget-friendly '15s, but I couldn't pass up this card. I've been admiring them for a while, but it's been hard to commit given the prices they are commanding. But damn are they pretty.
