Terrific W555.

Notebook cover, ca1908

Thanks Steve on the W555.

I have examined that card over and over (even under magnification) and can't clearly see why it graded VG. It looks minimally NM-MT, but apparently there must be some microscopic wrinkle that I just don't see.

You might say I am a Matty fan.

Snapshots taken at BBHoF.


Cabinet photo taken ca. 1905 by Benjamin Falk. (It is presently being framed. Will post the finished product when it's back from the store).


Turkey Red is ex-GAI5. Couldn't stand their T3 slabs. Looked like they were graded at Radio Shack.


Undergraded, if you're keeping score.




Sig looks good to this land surveyor but has never been assessed by any of them fancy big-city experts.

(Scale of photos all wonky w.r.t. each other. Apologies for that).

Well David, that's like saying... "You might say the Bambino liked women and booze"

Although I only joined the board just over a month ago, I have followed it for a few years now and I must say that David's post is the single greatest display that I've seen... period. Wow ! Talk about jaw-dropping. Well done David. That is the reason I start these kind of threads. Man oh man.

Alright, I'll follow that with a Matty photo by George Grantham Bain and a companion piece newspaper.

I guess there is no shortage of Matty fans here at net54!
