This team could go 161-1. And Ty Cobb is on my bench. Boy, that would piss him off!! ;)
I already tried and they said that Jimmy Spence looked at every autograph in the lot and called them "good". I have an auction LOA from JSA. H&S said that "is not their responsibility if another authenticator doesn't agree with Jimmy."
So I really went back to work looking harder at the 3 big autos that failed...Mack, Rixey, and Cuyler.
I am now convicted that the Mack is almost certainly fake. The Cuyler is questionable for sure and I can see why they would have rejected it. The Rixey still looks pretty legit to me.
It was...
They passed the other 77 autographs I submitted.
I have an auction LOA from JSA. I also called Huggins and Scott yesterday and they told me the source of the autos which give me zero doubt that they are real.
The following were not slabbed and graded due to "Questionable Authenticity".
I got them in a Hugiins & Scott Auction in August.
What do you think? Do they look good?

Eppa Rixey
Connie Mack
I also had several others fail in the submission.

I have already posted this on some other boards, but wanted to share with the FCB crew.
At this stage of my HOFer auto collection it takes a lot to get me this excited. I am at 202 different HOFers with almost 1,500 HOFer autos total in my collection.
The ones I need at this point are the...
Well...3 1/2 months of patiently waiting yielded me this in the mail today...
For the 2nd year in a row I have completed this set.
I was pretty stoked!!
So about 8 months ago I had Jeff start making some customs for me using one of my favorite designs of all time and otherwise boring signed index cards.
Here is the thread of the first batch...

Last year I tackled this set and completed it. Here is the thread about it.

Once I saw that Immaculate was coming out again and it had the same Accolades Materials set again, I...
I have been buying a ton of printing plates from this set. 1st I love HOFers. 2nd I love plates for some reason. I have 23 already with a bunch more on the way. Great stuff.
It wasn't whining. Just an observation. People ***** on here all the time about bad experiences they have at their LCS and they heap praise on good experiences.
I'm not questioning the validity of the emergency.
I wasn't even angry about it, just disappointed.
I was in Atlanta for a couple of Braves games to knock Turner Field off my stadium list.
I thought "Why not go check out the FCB store?"
So I called them up and spoke with Evan. I told him I would be by in about an hour and he said he would be there.
He did tell me that they just got back from...
Great accomplishment!! I have 1973 (my birth year) to present. I definitely want to start going further back, but the set prices start getting a little hefty.
Congrats again!!
