What Secret Santa brought us

[Bpm0014]

njdunkin1, I was your Secret Santa. Sorry for the delay! I know you were on a T206 Kling back run, so I ordered a Sweet Caporal off of ebay, annnnnnnd 2 weeks later I was sent a Piedmont (in error). So in a time crunch, I had to resort to plan B. I made the frame myself using old Coca Cola ads from 1913 and a frame from Michael's. I'm glad you like it!

Brendan, absolutely no worries! Your gift was the highlight of my evening, and it was absolutely a fantastic choice. Thank you for thinking of me--no Kling could top this!

Finally getting around to posting this...as the subject line reads, better late than Ernie Nevers. Not that Ernie Nevers is something that should be sneezed about. Let's stop discussing Ernie Nevers, he really has nothing to do with this post. I promise Nevers to post his name again.

Here is what my Santa sent me...a 1938 Goudey of Joe Vosmik, and this cool custom card that just became my new avatar. The 1938 Goudey design lends itself to this type of creation, and I think the resulting card looks like it could be part of the set. Thanks Santa!

The borders look too small on that Parker example, I think it's been trimmed. 😁

Being a vain individual, I prefer the term 'cropped'. Trimmed sounds a little too arborist to me. Of course I mean no offense to the folks who chop up defenseless trees and shrubbery for a living.
