Thanks!

My favorite would be either the Chick Gandil T206 or the 1934 Quaker Oats Babe Ruth Premium. Hard to choose between those.

Nice cards Val and everyone else.

I had already posted, but it is still 2016 and a present (to myself) left under the tree is among my favorites for the year . . .

Graig Kreindler never ceases to impress. Deacon White, the best catcher of the 1870s, now joins Charlie Bennett, arguably the best catcher of the 1880s.

These are based on their 1886 Tomlinson Studio portraits. If and when a Sam Thompson or Lady Baldwin portrait surfaces, I will be knocking on Graig's door once again. I never thought I'd order a portrait, let alone two, but the quality surpasses all expectations. They are the perfect way to add a little color to an otherwise sepia world.

Love it Graig, Merry Christmas All!

Kevin, Leon & Joe, thanks for the kind words! Joe, your Kreindlers are absolutely awesome!

Leon, the older I get, the more frequently my wife says, "if not now, when?" She has already convinced me to spend the $$ to attend the National at Chicago next year, something I haven't done in a dozen or so years, back when she worked for an airline and I was able to fly for free. (I have, however, attended all the recent, closer Nationals at Baltimore, Cleveland, & Atlantic City.) Is she a keeper, or what!

Yeah, I gotta say, those are really nice!

This is always a great thread topic at the end of every year to skim through.

Nice stuff everyone. This by far was mine.
