Jeremy, the E95 Honus IMO is the nicest E card ever made and yours is such a terrific example. I love his set mate Ty almost as much. But not quite.

Thanks! It certainly has pride of place in my collection

Does taking a card from the "for sale" bucket and putting it into the "collection bucket" count?
Collecting when flipping = addiction.

That's always been the way I've done it off the B/S/T. Take it from the For Sale from Leon...put in recent pickups!

Very happy to pick up this major addition to my T3 collection. The Grey Eagle doesn't come up for sale that often, especially in my wheel house, which is lower grade or ungraded with nice eye appeal.

Received a nice generic tintype in the mail today.

Congrats! That's a hell of a 2. I need that one for my Speaker collection. My last Speaker pick up was 1915 CJ because it was in my price range (writing on front). I'll have to splurge more than usual to get a T3.

One of the prettiest cards in the hobby, IMO. I have an SGC which annoyingly received an "A".. I called them and spoke to them and they told me it was because it had pinholes and someone tried to cover them up. Which even if true seems weird. To me it looks like it's more oxidation from whatever metal was used to pin the card up.
