It is Cobb in a Cleveland uni - the story goes that he forgot his in Detroit and had to borrow one in Cleveland.

I've spoken with the framer about how best to incorporate the T205 Joss - I didn't want it in the frame because then you wouldn't be able to see the back. I think what we're going to do is have a little holster on the edge of the frame which the T205 can sit in (in its SGC case), but also be removed and looked at. Once I get the lot from Legendary I'll take everything to him and from that point, I don't know how long he wants. I'll certainly post pics when it's all done.

Congrats on completion, Matt. Sounds like an amazing project. Looking forward to pics!

Hey Matt - sorry if I missed it, but were you ever able to finish this project?

I came across the 1911 group photo today in Kansas City. I've long been fascinated by the story of this game and remembered your post from several years ago. Would love to see it if you were able to get it done!

Matt, Congrats on your project. I love the collecting projects that center around ideas or events instead of just a regular set from a specific company. As others have stated, can't wait to see some pics.

Matt started a separate thread when this was completed - I remember it well. Here's the link to the awesome pics!
