Just in. A super tough front back combination of Mr. Tinker......

Nice, Tony!

He could be your twin! Do you use the same barber?

Brian, not the same barber, but I do have a picture of Joe on my bathroom mirror and blow dry my horns in honor
of him every morning.

Tony, beautiful card! Always loved the Tinker Portrait card.

Tony wishes he had that much hair.

great cards guys! nothing pre-war has struck my fancy lately...so I'm upgrading my HOF type set with some of my favorite 2nd year cards of some of my favorite HOF'ers! I'm hoping to get yogi's sig when I go to NJ for thanksgiving![img][/img]

I don't collect much after 1920 or so, but that '55 Topps Aaron could make me rethink that...card design doesn't really get much better! Nice one, Ulmann!

[jbonie]

Wow! How is that Aaron only a 3? Looks gorgeous to me... what a score! The 55' Topps set is, imo, the nicest of all post-war sets.

Crease on the bottom left, perhaps?

Fantastic eye appeal on that card. Quite the stunner. Congrats!

[ullmandds]

thanks guys...the aaron is sweet...and was pretty cheap I think?! as much as I love pre war...these cards from the 50's were always out of my reach as a kid...but I've always coveted them!

[ullmandds]

even with the crease...I'd say hammerin' hank got hammered on this one!

Did a little across the table Horse Swapping with Scott Mtjoy tonight.What a nice evening we had jawing about the hobby and trading cards. The give and take was mutual and very cordial.
Let's do it again soon, Scott

[bowlingshoeguy]

I can't saw I ever saw a Babe Ruth Boston Braves card. Are there any others or possibly a Brooklyn card?

Lee

[TheBig6]

Lee, I think his 35 Goudey 4 in 1 is a Braves card.

Very nice group of cards Jerry. Such strong photo quality on that OJ!

[TheBig6]

Thanks Ben, I wish I had the money to chase n172's, They could very easily become addictive

[smtjoy]

Had a great time too Jerry, very fun to trade in person.

Here is a Boston Braves Ruth-

[rholmes]

I've had this one coming down the pike for a little while, but got it in hand just yesterday.

Marty O'Toole, as forgotten as he is now, is a compelling baseball story. He was something of a deadball Stephen Strasburg I suppose, if Stephen Strasburg were to flame out, a spectacular failure, and wind up being found alone and dead at the bottom of the stairs by the trash collectors. It's guys like this who really need their baseball cards so we remember them...

Thanks for the Link, Interesting story about O'Toole
