My Greatest Mailday EVER!!!

[Musial Collector]

As you can tell from my sig, I collect custom made cards.
This allows me to have say in the design of the card.
All of the below were made by Mike (200lbHockeyPlayer). Thanks a ton for all of your hard work on these!!!

First:
Stan The Man Musial
When I picked up my Musial lot from REA a year ago, I had this piece that I did not know what I would do with it.
Being that the auto was almost perfectly centered over the Cardinals logo, I knew I wanted to incorporate it into the cut I was going to have made out of it.

Here is what Mike came up with. AMAZING if you ask me.

Second:
I have a little set going of Notable Nicknames. Below are 8 HOFers and 2 unique pitchers.
My favorites are Killebrew (being a Twins fan) and Rizzuto (with the inscription).

Finally:
I was trying to come up with a unique small set for Cardinals greats. One day while at work and bored towards the end of the day, I was looking at their '42, '44 and '46 teams. Then it hit me, do a World Champions set. But what year? The 1946 team stood out with the best and most easily obtainable players. I pitched the idea to Mike and below is what he came up with. Simply AMAZING once again.

Comments welcomed.

Once again, thanks to 200lbHockeyPlayer!!!

I'm going to have to give the USPS kudos for the lightening fast delivery.

Nothing like mailing a Priority Mail package on Saturday and traveling 1200+ miles for delivery on Monday.

Yeah, for those that bitch about the PO, I cannot go along with it. They were definetly amazenly fast on this shipment.

The 1946 World Champions together look soooooooooooooo nice. I may try and come up with a custom frame job for this one down the road. Maybe if I could find a vintage '46 pennant to build it around or something like that.

Below is the new sig for now, minus the Vander Meer and Fydrich for now, as I need to get a couple of more stands for those two.

Finally, thanks again for the wonderful work.

That is just awesome. Musial was my father's favorite player. According to him he was the greatest. Musial holds a special place in my heart.

Absolutely beautiful cards! If you ever complete the World Series team set, you should frame it with a World Series ticket, if you can find one.
