Got this one in the mail yesterday - I've been takin' time off from posting but this is a killer!

I now have 21 variations of a total of 23 catalogued - again the HOF says there's 11.

This is one of my most fun projects - my paper on the sheet music is coming along - would like to take a trip to the library of congress and to a large public library archive for anything I might find.

Thanx for viewing - hope everyone is having a good summer - I am!

    Wow...I've been hanging on the forums for a few months now, reading and posting (sometimes to everyone's chagrin) so I've seen some sweet cards in that time...never seen this before, mind giving me some background?

    Very nice. You're doing a great job.

    You're probably seen this, but just in case, the USPS has a new stamp sheet celebrating the 100th anniversary of the song. Not 100% sure what I'm going to do, but I've got some TTM projects in mind. Either way, I love the stamp:

    Did you happen to see the special on ESPN last night entirely about "take me out to the ball game"? I had no sound, but it looked great!

    Thanx for asking Tvac.

    Here are two links to old threads about my project: Link one and link two.

    I was at Target and they have a really nice black frame but I don't think I have the wall space for 21 pieces of sheet music! image

    This all started with one piece of sheet music - a little googling and the obsession took over!

    Excellent find!
    Running an Ebay store sure takes a lot more time than a person would think!

    Hi Geordie

    One has a pic of Jack Norworth - the only copy to come up, I was out bid by a ton since it was signed and I had no idea what it would go for.

    The other has never come up - I'm sitting and waiting.

    Mike, if you have any pictures of the Norworth copy, that'd be great to see. I'd love to keep an eye out for it. Awesome project.

    Thanx Scott - as I said in another thread about the way we treat each other here.

    I usually take a few months off from the boards from time to time - it makes it new again.

    I'm havin a great summer - will probably be back in force in the fall at WS time.

    My checklist is growing! I now have 25 on my checklist and this one is #23 in my collection! Singer on the cover is Maude Gray.

    For those who are newer here - I reported that the HOF list is at 11 - mine is far larger - I have no idea what the final total will be?

    I have a really nice article that I wrote on the topic that's not finished.

    Also, I picked up a very nice T3 from a board member - the service was commendable.

    I'm not doing much with the hobby right now - I just decided to add a T3 to my set - this one looks nicer than the 3 grade it was awarded.

    Thanx for viewing.

    Very nice Stone. Your right the Turkey red looks much better than a 3 considering my 33 goudeys in 3's are in terrible shape compared to yours. I love the Turkey Red.
