end of the line? As far as I can go... 1939 HOF

[Baseballcrazy62]

Truly an incredible project. Don’t give up on finding that last one. My guess there is one out there somewhere that’s meant to be included in your collection!

[Jay Wolt]

Fantastic collection, w/ even dupes like Dimaggio & Ott, very impressive

[phikappapsi]

Appreciate it guys. Feels very incomplete being one card away. Sometimes there's just a moby dick type card out there. When I started this thing I really didn't think Floyd Vaughan was going to be my undoing

[canjond]

Joe - which Vaughn is it you know of? Was it the one that sold this spring in the LOTG auction?

[clydepepper]

Congratulations, Joe! AWESOME accomplishment!

Good Luck searching for the Arky!

[Chris-Counts]

That's an awesome collection. Signed cards, in my view, are undervalued. As for the scarcity of Arky Vaughan, I suspect there's another one out there, since it's a common card and he lived for another decade or so. The fact that a signed 1940 Play Ball Willard Hershberger exists should give you hope, since he died that summer.

[Republicaninmass]

Still kicking myself for selling that hershberger! There are two of him I believe. Vaughn is out there, just have to keep searching. Heck, there are still about 15 1952 topps which have not been graded yet, there MUST be one example out there somewhere, and they are obscure names.

There are actually 2. One sold in Heritage, the owner has been found and is not looking to move it. The other is the LOTG winner. I've actually asked Al to reach out to that winner and see if they'd be willing to move it, no luck as of yet.

Unbelievably, I missed both of those auctions in real time, one with a move/job transition and 5he other with a destination wedding. So the fates have conspired against this acquisition.

Awesome collection!!! I know what is like to have that one Moby Dick out there you need...I have wanted a "To Mike" Babe Ruth my whole life and have come up short..Go figure the most common name of several generations and I cant find it!!

Awesome collection! Good luck finding another Arky, I'm sure there is one out there somewhere. I can certainly relate to the frustrations of trying to find the tough ones.
