Let's see some postcards

I love this thread...

This made it today and I have been dreading finding this card for 6 years, before I started the set. This is clearly the toughest card in the set, one hasn't sold at pubic auction since 2009 and I had a member take pity on me and sell it to me.

I also locked up a deal for the Johnson and wont have to chase the one on HA and will be down to one card left for the 796 set.

Congrats Steven. Plank is a tough one. I think that he was the last HOFer that I needed when I put together the set (now dispersed). FWIW, there were a couple Planks offered in auctions back in 2012.

Thanks, super happy to have it.

I bought the Cobb/Wagner at the National in 2012 and started paying attention, I guess my search missed those.

Erick and Steven, two of my favorite dudes on this board: congrats guys. Erick, I love that Ruth/Gehrig rppc. And Steven, I'm thrilled for you to get the one you never thought you would.

Seems to me like the rare and important postcards featuring HOF players are becoming a real niche in the hobby. Is it me, or do others see the postcard side of the hobby becoming more appealing to mainstream collectors.
