I think there's a support group for your affliction Brian. Congrats on the pick up.

A big thanks to Dean for letting loose of a Big Johnson for me! Happy to have HAC Johnson back in the box.

Thanks,

No problem Bob. I'm glad it went to a good home. Enjoy!

Nice Rucker collection images Michael. I thought the auction brought very strong and a little surprising prices. You were lucky since it seemed one bidder was buying most of the 19th Century stuff.

I was bidding live on the auction interface (not in person) so I couldn't tell who won the other lots. I was the only bidder on the two cdvs I won but the cabinet was competitive. There were other nice cdvs and tintypes that went for more than I wanted to pay. Part of me is glad there is interest in this kind of stuff...but part of me doesn't want too much interest.

I posted this in the Cuban thread, but love this early (first) known image of Jose Mendez from the Mark Rucker Collection.

Accidentally double posted, so might as well put something in it. Mailman just dropped off this AB 460 Wheat. Also from the BST.

Thanks,
Bob

Some folks on here are addicted to Wagner, Ruth, Goudeys, etc. I am addicted to disjointed cards and posts.

Finally got a Jesse Haines

My lots from the Potter & Potter auction featuring the Mark Rucker collection. I now have two of the three Bates College cdvs featured on page 56 of Mark's book Base Ball Cartes: The First Baseball Cards (the outer two).
