That is a beauty. I was tempted to bid on it as well, but had my sights set on this one...

I don't even care about the card, but am blown away by the signature and understand why you wanted it and others had interest as well. I was watching some of the pirates, but they got a bit out of hand.

Congrats Marty. You've put together a very nice set. I might be able to help you fill a few holes. You can e-mail me at scottg@accessmfgsys.com.

My first 5 from the Uncle Jimmy Collection arrived today. Here's my favorite two from those.

1. Dolfo Luque, in my opinion deserves a spot in the Hall of Fame. These cards are super rare, and this is the finest known example. He passed away in Cuba in 1957.

2. George Blaeholder, the man that popularized the slider, passed in 1947. Another toughie.

Marty,

On behalf of my dad (Hank) and I, congrats. I have no doubt that you’ll be at 200 and eventually beyond. It’s such a fun project - maybe one day we will join you in the “200” club!

Best,
Scott

[martyesullivan]

Scott,
Thanks so much! Your father is such a great guy. I have really enjoyed my conversations with him and look forward to meeting you both in person one day!

I hope you make it to the "200 Club" and hopefully I can help you on your journey.

Every good wish,
Marty S.

Thanks I agree. He must have had very good coordination. Joe

A few have messaged me and asked for a list of cards I'm looking for, so I thought I'd post it here. If you have any of these, I'd love to hear from you.

Obviously, I'm just two away from 200 but with time, I can see a path to potentially getting 205-210 without completely breaking the bank.

I'm also always interested in upgrading, so if you have any that don't mean much to you, especially if they are from the Uncle Jimmy Collection, shoot me an email at martyesullivan@yahoo.com

Thanks! Here's the list:

1 Benny Bengough
22 Pie Traynor
25 Paul Waner
26 Bill Cissell
29 Jimmie Foxx
31 Tony Lazzeri
38 Fred Brickell
42 Eddie Collins
49 Frankie Frisch
70 Pete Scott
74 Eppa Rixey
79 Red Faber
83 Pete Jablonski
84 Glenn Spencer
88 Russell Rollings
89 Tris Speaker
90 Jess Petty
105 Bernie Friberg
107 Heinie Manush
110 Goose Goslin
124 Earl Whitehill
127 Mel Ott
138 Herb Pennock
154 Jimmie Foxx
158 Moe Berg
171 Charlie Jamieson
173 Roscoe Holm
175 Dan Howley
207 Mel Ott
211 Hack Wilson
229 Arky Vaughan

This is why I love this community. Seeing so many reach out to help a fellow collector is inspiring. Good luck in your quest Marty.
Bravo! to all those who reached out to him.

I was able to pick up 10 of the signed 1933 Goudey cards in the recent Wheatland Auction bringing my total to 227 different. I have the two Dykes variations and two Jablonowski cards - one signed as Pete Jablonowski and one signed as Pete Appleton.

I have never seen an example of #38 Brickell, #70 Scott, #88 Rollings or #175 Howley. Does anyone have one of those or have a scan of one of those or remember having seen one?

How is that auto only graded an 8?!?! That's the nicest autograph I've ever seen on a baseball card.

Slight gaps in the tail of the W and 'm' I would guess. They're not grading the attractiveness or fullness of the auto, but looking for little imperfections in the ink.

And this is why i think grading autographs is ridiculous. It's just another thing to separate people from their money by creating artificial rarity. If someone cant tell a strong autograph from a weak one, they should not be collecting autographs.
At least with cards, there are very well established factors like centering, corner/edge wear, surface wear(includes creasing), color registration, and print clarity that factor into the subjective grade. There have never been any such standards for autographs. As far as i am concerned, there is no need for them.
