    The 1909 E192 Mathewson is one of the most beautiful cards of the era! Congrats on picking this one up. I personally really love the 54 Mantle! The smile on his face really captures his youthful and uncorrupted exuberance! It was one of the very first vintage cards I got. It is really cool that you got a 39 Play Ball Carl Hubbell! I bought an ungraded 1940 Play Ball Hubbell myself.

    I was looking forward to seeing what you added and it did not disappoint. I appreciate the thought behind the cards you acquire. I am also a fan of the 39 Play Ball Hubbell. It is surprising how affordable that card is.
    I like your message about taking the plunge into making content. While I am not at a point of life where I can go to shows and interact with the community, I understand how meaningful it is.

    Alex, I"d have to say that your pickups at the National were absolutely top shelf awesome. I would rather have a nice looking authentic than a crummy looking 1, and that Mathewson is excellent. The Mantle, well, what can you say other than it looks seriously under-graded. That leaves the Hubbell, and although I have never seen that card before, it's just downright haunting in it's beauty. That's the type of card/photo that you can just look at for hours and get totally lost in it. Just watching the way you collect is definitely helping me shape the way I curate my collection, my friend! Congrats.

    Bowman53 wins the National!! Exquisite thoughts and pickups and collaborations and memories and healthy self expression (even if one sig on that ball is a tad ostentatious).
    Alex, your stewardship and dedication are a shining example of what makes Hobbytown worth visiting. I keep saying that this hobby feels like a rigged slot machine that just keeps paying off every time you pull the arm.
