centering and color of that card look amazing! It's a gorgeous piece!When I started with pre war I was building the monster casually. Got into a late night convo about a card with a member here who was breaking up his own monster--- was almost $850 which at the time was a massive purchase and the most I ever spent on anything not a car....... So glad I did it. Not only does it look fantastic but it set my T206 collecting into high gear and the card itself has appreciated greatly. I hope I never HAVE to sell it because I never will willingly sell it.

Sold off the Cuddyer card collection, only collect full game used now.
Here is my favorite piece/s:
Combo Home Run Bat and Ball
Will try and make this short....
Date is June 9th, 2011. We were at the Twins game sitting in the Right Field stands. I had brought my camera with to take some pictures of Cuddyer that night. Got some shots of him in RF and up to bat. In the 5th inning Cuddyer crushed a ball to deep center field, a 3 Run HR into the bullpen.
Fast forward to mid August. At a Saturday afternoon game and in between innings I decide to go to the pro shop to check out what Cuddyer items the have today. The shop had about 4-5 game used bats of his. It seemed that nearly every game, Cuddy busted a bat. I picked thru them and decided I would purchase one, on a whim I picked the one with the most pinetar and it had some infield dirt and grass stuck to it. On the way home I decided to look up the MLB holo number to see when it was from, amazingly enough, it was from the game on June 9th. I thought to myself, thats cool, we were at that game, cool to have a bat from a game we were at.
Fast forward again to the beginning of September. Cuddyer was a big supporter of a local charity Cheerful Givers. In their annual fall auction, they had a couple of Cuddyer items, one of which stood out. It was a Home Run ball....THE Home Run ball from the June 9th game, autographed and Fully Inscribed. When I saw this, I knew I was going to win the ball at any cost. At that point, it also triggered something with me, the bat.....I took pictures at the game.....could the bat be the Home Run bat??? I quickly opened up my image files from that game, zoomed in on the bat during his at bats, pulled out the gamer I bought, compared the bat in hand to the bat in the images I had taken, sure enough, the wood grain matched up exactly on both. I had the Home Run bat from that game!!! I ended up winning the ball for a great price, so here it is, a Home Run Bat and Ball combo of Cuddyer (note I have since had the bat signed and inscribed with the same inscription as the ball).............
