Amazing run Chad.

Scott, now we know where all the E94 Speakers have run off too...

Wow! Wonderful, especially that Red Cross.

Perhaps, but you have the Red Cross, and that is a huge card.

There I was at the Net54 pre-War collectors get together in No. Va. at the beginning of February, wearing my Hugh Jennings back-run T-shirt that Steve ("brass_rat") & Bryan ("Jobu") gifted me about 4 years ago, and in the process of setting up my card display at the beginning of this wonderful event (thanks to Ryan & Andrew!). Whereupon, Steve comes up to me, hands me a wrapped package, and says, "open it, it's for you." I do as instructed and see that it is another Jennings back-run T-shirt. Steve asks, "what's different about it?" Without thinking, I instantly respond, "the size?" "No" says Steve, "look more closely." I do this , and OHMIGOSH, I see that the back run on this T-shirt has an additional card! At this point, Steve pulls this additional card out of his pocket, hands it to me, and says, "it's for you." The card is a T216 Kotton Cigs with the "NEVER GO OUT" back that I had been searching for forever but never seen and all but given up hope of ever finding. Steve told me he came across this card in a collection he was considering acquiring and instatntly knew he had to get it for me. Bryan then updated his design work for the T-shirt, and Steve got the new T-shirt made. Yes, I'm prejudiced, but you won't find two nicer guys in our hobby and/or on this forum!

A pic of my previous Jennings back run appears in post #30 of this thread. Below are pics of both back-run T-shirts, my new back run, and the T216 addition to it:

This is so great. It has to be one of the top ten posts ever. Congratulations, Val, and well done, Steve and Bryan!

Wow, that's amazing. I can certainly agree that Steve and Bryan are as good as it gets in the hobby. What a great story.

Awesome story and a great group of guys.

[MVSNYC]

What an awesome thing! So great to read a story like that.

[Centauri]

Here is my contribution. Love this card. Interested if anyone has one of the toughies for sale.

[brianp-beme]

My contribution pales next to others posted, but for a low brow collector (note positioning of Cravath's cap), I am pretty savvy when it comes to Gavvy.

Missing near impossible (for me) Broadleaf and Carolina Brights backs.

Pete, do you still have your E94 Murray color run?

[MVSNYC]

Great runs guys! I couldn't help but think of Ted Z. He had a few great runs (McGraw, Chase, etc). RIP buddy.

Here's my Chase run I'm working on with my son, big thanks to Chris B. for helping out. I need to update the P42 with this new one...
