I'll show these off since I just got them back from Phil from BGS. Took BGS 3 tries to label them correctly! Both are available and should be in a for sale thread soon.

Possibly my only gem mint jumbo in about 150 that I've owned.

Love the Clemente, it looks even better in person.

The only card like it now on eBay is a bat/jersey [phil:302rvpxa]370471040713[/phil:302rvpxa] - the hat is far more desirable IMO

Back when I purchased the card, the seller was clearly trying to hide that the seal to the holder was broken. I was stunned by the quality of the card and gu pieces. The hat pieces are definitely tough to come by and this piece looks like it is from the inside lining where it got dirty from Clemente's sweat. :eek:

Thanks for finally getting BGS to correct these. :D

Just a random patch card from my collection. I'm the HOF collector that Chris Levy mentioned in the front page article and earlier in this thread. I felt obligated to join the discussion! :)

You already have Eddie Collins. The Topps 206 bat card you have is an Eddie Collins bat. It is an uncorrected error and is NOT a Jimmy Collins bat.

Yeah, I know that card is actually an Eddie Collins bat. I'm anal and want / need a card that actually is listed as Eddie Collins......

Second that. Does one exist? I think I looked it up in Beckett once and found another card, one that actually has Eddie Collins' name on the card, but I can't remember.

Most of the ones you need pop up on eBay from time to time. Not all, but most.

Here's another random patch since I'm in a posting mood. You can just barely tell it's a patch (see the left side of the fabric piece) but it's all I have :)
