Bored, felt like sharing my personal collection/vault

I have recently grown "bored" of collecting, so I have taken a break for about the past month. I have lost interest to the extent that I have not even updated my cut autograph sales spreadsheet for better than a month (i had been very diligent in updating it a couple of times a week for the past two-plus years).

I have recently sold off everything that wasn't personal collection or vault items, and since I have nothing better to do today, I thought I would share what I have left with my "family-that-isn't-really-my-family". :lol:

thanks and very nice!

I require jaw surgery now ...

Incredible. Absolutely incredible ... :shock: :shock:

Incredible. The Gehrig, Wagner, and Cobb are

Great cards rob. Thanks for posting them.

awesome rob - thanks

beautiful

Nice cards! It's good to see someone else from the Des Moines area on the boards. Do you frequent any of the shops in the DSM area?

Wow! You got some stellar stuff. Did the Honus Wagner set you back a lot?

Beautiful collection.

Amazing cuts- that has to be one of the only Jackie Robinson cuts where they didn't cut off part of his name.

awesome stuff, thanks for sharing.

thanks for all of the kind words folks. i have had a blast acquiring each and every one of them. i think i just need to find another card i just can't live without to get me back into the groove of things.

Daltonb1219-are you from iowa? i live in des moines.

cubfan131-where do you live? i live pretty close to The Rookie, and sold a nice lot recently to Chuck's, but i am not much of a "shop" guy. i get all of my cards from ebay, here on freedom (maybe one or two from other sites), or shows.

George K-the wagner was $2,025 on ebay a year or two ago.

mrwhitesox30-the ONLY reason i bought the jackie is that it was signed "Jackie Robinson" and not "Jack R. Robinson" like a good percentage of his autographs are.

Disgusting...frightingly disgusting!!!

:shock: Now thats the Kinda Vault I want to have!!!

Like everyone has said... AMAZING!!

I'm in West Des Moines. I don't go to the shops much either since I mainly collect Sosa cards but when I want to bust wax I always go to The Rookie.

eh....decent...... :shock: :shock: :shock: ......Rob, if your "family that isn't your family" needs a place to stay ever, I'll make room.

cubfan131-do you ever go to the urbandale legion show? i set up there (only show i set up at) every month. not a great show by any stretch of the imagination, but it is a time to hang out with collectors and talk cards.

steve-a-reno-you, my friend, have quite a stellar collection yourself (that i wouldn't mind having!). by "family-that-isn't-my-family", i meant the freedom community. LOL

Thanks for sharing, you have some stellar cuts!
