Isn't the one in my avatar impressive enough?

Awesome post Frank.

Good work Frank. That looks like it was a lot of fun.

My favorite set from the '50s. Some prefer '56 with the action scenes in the background, but I like the way the colors pop and contrast with the portraits in the '55s.

I don't collect cards anymore, but as I look back to my childhood, I always liked the flawed cards in my collection. Ones that were diamond-shaped or blurry or whatever. I'll never forget my 1980 Moose Haas that looked like only two colors printed.

I guess I've always been a little weird.

Now I feel a little better about the first 1929 R316 Ott rookie I bought--quite nicely centered for the card, but a corner missing, writing on the back, and a tack hole, making it an SGC Poor 10. It is a bit more interesting that I heard that it was originally owned by the seller's grandfather, who was a sportswriter covering the New York Giants during Ott's career, and he had it pinned up in the area of his seat in the Polo Grounds press box. Guess I'm personally not much of a beater type (The PSA 7 I won in one of the recent PWCC auctions softened my feelings about the "10" example a bit, though).

May your collecting bring you happiness in whatever form it takes!
