I asked Joe last year at the National if he would consider doing a feature on Mike & his collection!
Mike told me before hand that he didn't he should have all that attention, lol.
Was being much too modest!

Special thanks to Joe O. for making it happen, and to David Laurell (the writer) and Jackie. It's a keepsake that my kiddos are going to love when they see it. I haven't shown them the digital version, I want them to see it in print. Maven and Max are going to think it's super cool that they are in a magazine.
I'm not smart enough to figure out how to post the pdf here, and don't know how to convert the pdf to a jpg where I could post it, LOL

Liquidating my collection for the 3rd and final time. Time for others to enjoy what I have enjoyed over the last several decades. Money could be put to better use.

edited to add: dang space warp time continuum thingy.
<< <i>Maybe I missed it but is that M113 Cobb you mentioned signed?? >>
Yes sir, but it's JSA/BGS slabbed instead of PSA. "Altered" is for the trim job.

I concur. Very good read indeed.
Mike, tell us more about that Saddam Hussein! Did you have it made or did you buy it like that?
<< <i>Wow! Very cool!

The Saddam is a "custom cut" that I had done back in 2009. Technically, it should be in a blue flip, rather than a red flip. The autograph is from an Iraqi administrative decree that Saddam issued back in the 80's. Before the war, Saddam was an incredibly tough autograph to get. You could usually only find him on official State presentation gifts, such as on presentation cards for gold watches, official state photos, etc. It was not uncommon that his signature would fetch four figures and more. Then, the US Soldiers uncovered several books full of these administrative decrees that were brought back from Iraq as souvenirs. I purchased some from a couple different soldiers, and I had mine translated by a language institute in Dallas, and they are just run of the mill decrees. The custom cut was made by inserting the autograph in between two authentic proset Hussein cards and cutting the window out of one of them. Basically, it's creating a mini-frame job on a card. Board member "TheHun" put this one together for me.

Interesting, how did it find it's way into a red holder then? And they gave it a 7 card grade..weird? Looks great though.

It's just a mistake. We got some wires crossed on a couple subs I had and this one card got caught up wrong. They treated it as a regular autographed card rather than as a "custom cut".

That Rube Marquard and the Cobb simply blew my mind. Very, very cool.
I also love your kids' specialized cards. I've seen a few before I may try one for my boy.
