I want to say thank you for the donations on the box, and hope who ever wins, will display it as part of their home. I have the upmost respect for Mike and the advice he helped myself and others past and present with this great hobby. It was an honor to donate this box and hope it finds its way to a good home.
The box is made with nice piece of Koa from Hawaii, Purple Heart, Nice Curly Maple, Black Wenge, and of course the African Mahogany. The inside of the box has a Royal Blue Felt with Mahogany spacers are edged with the Royal Blue Felt to keep from scratching the inside of the box. When you hold the box in the sunlight and tilt it, its like a 3D look and can see sunray off of the Koa and a nice golden tint with the African Mahogany along with the Curl of the Maple.
I truly enjoy working with wood and the satisfaction it gives other people appreciating the art.
Good Luck and Hope this box helps a fellow collector

I'm still waiting for 1 to pay.
But have decided to submit the others to Jackie for mailing.
I'll ask Jackie what time frame we're looking at and post.
Thanx everyone!
Mike will make another if anyone is interested.
Just let me know - we'll get with Mike to arrange payment and he'll make a donation.
I have to say - they're incredible!
I just got a message from Jackie - she'll start to get your stuff out next week.
Again, thanx!
Box is being shipped Tomorrow.

I know it is not a "real" Ty Cobb, but still a cool card and for a good cause.
Thank you again to all for setting this up.
