This time last year I changed my collecting focus to pre-war cards.......specifically building a T206 set in 3/4 condition. Centered and crease free. I am up to 48/524. Here are some of my additions from the last few months:
Picked this Willis (HOF) up this week.
Another HOF:
A great friend of mine bought this Chance for me.
Love this Evers.
Got the Matty at the National in Chicago.
And here is one of my favorite pick-ups. This is a D304 Brunners Bread Hal Chase. The front is just superb but has staining on the back. Just a really cool card and set.

I remember seeing that Matty last year. Looking forward to finding some more, but next time remember to mark

<< <i>Man, you are becoming quite the pre-war collector, Mark! Very sharp additions! Maybe Mike can find me a 1909 Piedmnont rack rack! >>
Unfortunately they didn't sell them by the carton back then. Only way to fit one of those rack packs in there. Although I wouldn't be surprised to see someone read this and think it sounds like a good idea. It works for the Christmas racks.

We ought to patent that, quick! It could be our version of the grocery cello or xmas rack!

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.
Keep the T206 train rolling.

Thanks guys. They don't call it "The Monster" for no reason.....LOL.
Tim, I may try and hunt down one of the Cobb's at the National this year. Probably the bat off shoulder. It is my favorite Cobb.
