2016 Collecting goal accomplished

Thanks Chris, I got lucky and got the last two from the same guy.

I tried to take your suggestion and added a few cards. The Cobbs didn't turn out much better as the files were too big to load directly from my phone and didn't work at all after I emailed them to myself and loaded from my computer. I know the solution is just to get a decent scanner but as I rarely sell cards on my own I haven't had the need. It would be nice to look through better scans though as most of these cards are at the bank most of the time.

As for the Goudey Ruth run the green and red one don't appeal to me as much. I have a 144 and would like a yellow to go with it though.

Centering looks great, congrats on the fun run. If you send those pictures to my email I can mostly likely post them much larger for you....

Cards might be better served with these...The bottom ones are about as big of a picture as this site will host. The top ones I hosted on my own personal site....(for anyone interested). Great cards especially the red, because I feel a red Cobby pops more but it's like chocolate and vanilla. They are all great specimens...

Size matters.

Holy crap! Those look amazing together, congrats.

Nice cards to say the least!How long did it take you to complete this project and did you focus exclusively on these or did you add other cards in the meantime?

Thanks again guys for the kind words. My plan last year was just to pick up a green Cobb when I came across the red one. After adding the green one about 3 months ago I decided it would be cool to have all four. The search for a green Cobb took over a year but the goal to collect all four was only set at the beginning of the year.

I have been working on a Mantle run for the last couple of years and picking up HOF RCS as well. I guess you could say I have trouble focusing on a task when it comes to collecting. It helps when there are only 4.
