Very nice!


To answer the original question, I believe I bring "insightful curiosity" (as the OP stated.) I've been in the pre-war game for a little over four years, so I have much to learn.

I came here a few yrs ago to LEARN about PreWar cards and absorb all that is made available about them. I visit EVERY site of the Forum just about EVERY day.

I post when I feel I can contribute or when a POSITIVE remark is in order.

As a casual type collector over the past 25 years...such boards as this...along with the internet have increased my vintage stuff/card knowledge exponentially...and I thank you!

I give an occasional...usually obvious observation...give occasional dental advice or make dental observations...I sometimes share my cards...I introduced the board to the T100 silhouette honest long cut card...sorry I should have left it hidden! I played a role in discovering the single quotation variation on e94 backs...I think...maybe it wasn't me? I used to sell my cards on bst too cheaply...now they're usually too expensive...and I spend a lot of cash on cards!

No Joe Jackson spoof..wrong font etc...but for an avatar it should do the job...

Great stuff. I never knew David had a crease.

[Kawika]

Wow!! My very own Wonka FrankenMcDonald. Magnificent eye appeal, if I do say so myself, and very interesting crease migration from front to back - never saw that before. Thank you, John. I am humbled.

I have brought almost nothing, but I have learned an unmeasurable amount from this board.

3 years ago I purchased a t206 on ebay. Actually this one.



It could have been that I was growing up, or getting engaged, but I had to find something that didn't involve going to the bar with my friends.

Now I am 68 deep into the monster, started a type collection, still go to the bar with my friends (occasionally), and just interviewed a wonderful man who explained the origin of Tommy Bridges' curve ball.

And yeah, my wife took the effort to make sure I won the Bridges Wheaties Cutout on ebay today. Thanks for everything 54.

I've been collecting David McDonald cards with as many tough backs as possible:







Be well Brian

PS Only the American Beauty of David has a crease....

PS 2 Hi John, I could use that Carolina Brights for my collection... trade you a Murphy/Batting for it...

[cfc1909]

that is classic John-David should love it and I am sure it will be his avatar soon...

This is a great card!!

[Abravefan11]

Congratulations David! That certainly transcends you into a new level of Net54.

[ethicsprof]

an inability to scan, no avatar,
but an incredible love for the Monster and my types
and a deeply sincere gratitude to my colleagues and friends on this top drawer board.

best,
