The Trading Continues

I added a significant piece to my signed T206 collection today in what for all intents and purposes was probably the biggest blockbuster trade I've ever been a part of. I traded a huge collection of signed pre-war cards in order to acquire Jeff Morey's autographed T206 Sam Crawford (Batting) card. The good news is that they were all duplicates. But it was a significant chunk of my collection nonetheless. Still I am extremely excited about the opportunity to continue to add to my signed T206 collection and, as important, put back together some of the highlights of Morey's old collection. Nothing will compare to Morey's Cobb collection, but putting Clarke and Crawford back next to each other is a significant feat. And the process will continue!

More T201s - Doyle and Wheat

These have eluded me for a little while. The seller had them on ebay for what seems like a few months, but with BINs that were, frankly, a little too high for me. Obviously, the prices were a little too high for the other collectors, too. Fortunately, the seller decided to relist them last week, and just let the market set the price -- and I won them both. I can't wait to get them!
