Maine of course......
Very nice!!!! Cobb is one of a handful of HOFer autographs that I need that are in some abundance and under a grand. Getting harder and harder for me to add to my collection. What other big names do you have on checks?

FYI.............
Can Of Corn Phrase
It means a very easy popup catch, and the 'story' is that before supermarkets when small markets were prevalent with just one grocer, the canned corn would be stored on the top shelves because it lasted for a long time, and the grocer had to get these for customers because they were out of reach. The common way to do this was take a broomstick and knock the can toward you, catching it in the apron (the ends of which were pulled together to form a sort of glove.)
