The Macon Find

[T206Collector]

For fun, I would consider getting some of the Cobbs graded by SGC, with the phrase "Macon Peach Collection" on the slip. They would certainly do that for you.

At some point, a few months ago, I emailed both SGC and PSA and asked them to guesstimate how much grading all the cards would cost and also asked them about a possible collection designation, but neither of them responded.

I chalked it up to me not having very much experience in these matters and haven't thought about it since. Probably because I know it would cost a bunch and I'd really like the whole collection graded and designated if possible.

I absolutely LOVE that T210 Balenti (Savannah). Its a wonderful collection.

Before anyone thinks this is a shameful excuse to get more visitors to my grandma's site, I confess, it is.

My grandma received her college degree in drama and art and we have many wall hangings of her art, but I just found a lot of her sketches and small drawings and guess what, some were of baseball players, so I added them to her front page. You can enlarge them from the site, so that's why I'd ask for a visit rather than posting them here.
Are these drawings derived from cards, some other media or from my grandma's imagination. She had lots of other drawings and sketches, but these were the only one's with a baseball theme.
If these are sketches of cards, can anybody tell me who they might be and what series they may have come from?
Thanks as always.

Quite an amazing collection your Grandmother had. I could spend hours viewing the T210's. Thanks for sharing.

That's an incredible collection. If you or anyone in your family ever gets the collecting bug, you'll have a starting point that's better than the ending point for 99% of collectors. Thanks for sharing.
