I guess that old adage, "what goes around, comes around" makes some sense. I won the T5 Cobb Pinkerton and was delighted to have snagged it; it is the specimen with Buck Barker's stamp on the back and will be the 3rd time I have owned it. I am not a great believer in card destiny, but sometimes I feel certain cards are somehow inexorably tied to me. Like this one, Cobb in a great pose with Buck's seal of approval.. Had to have it, and we all know what that feels like.

The ONLY good thing about having an old man's BPH condition (enlarged prostate) is that I don't need an alarm clock to wake me up in the middle of the night. I seldom am able to sleep more than 2-3 hours before awaking with an urgent need to use the bathroom. So, I awoke at about 4 a.m. EDST, and after increasing a few bids, I was able to win 3 of the 4 lots I most wanted. But, someone kept outbidding me on the 4th lot, the neat 1916 Morehouse Baking - Joe Tinker card with "CANCELLED" stamped on the back, presumably indicating that this card had been submitted to the company back in the day along with 49 other cards in order to obtain a free ball & bat or a jump rope.
