Greg:

Fantastic pieces!!!

Did you just pick all of those up or did you already own them and just get them framed?

[sayhey24]

Hi Phil,

I counted these as a pickup because I just found them helping my parents clean out their house -- we bought them in these frames in the late 1960s. They had gone forgotten in my parents house all these years.

WOW, Greg, that's quite a find and in your family's hands for all of these years. That's a great story and I'm sure you know that those pieces are quite valuable. I hope that you enjoy them!

Great postcard, Jeff, never seen that one before.

Thanks, guys. As for the price, I was also surprised that the card went for so little -- the Cubs version, in a much lower grade, went for significantly more (granted, the grade was lowered due to the card being postally used).

Someday, I think, we will all be "postally used"...

...and nice card, by the way.

Although impossible to compete with TBob's Mauer Jerseys which are the coolest thing I have seen in some time I had a great month for Bender. The blue striped cap Crofts puts a new meaning on OC as in Octagon, but I couldn't be happier with it and it's companion white cap, very lucky to pick up both versions at once that have such nice color and clean images !!!!!!!!!!!!!




And then I upgraded a T227 and T206 Old Mill, I questioned why I was doing it but couldn't have worked out better and the cards I upgraded ended up in great collections so that was a nice bonus as well.

Johnny, Love those Croft's Candy's...

Thanks Johnny. Those Crofts are really sharp and if I am not mistaken the blue background Bender is very tough.
