  1. This thread needs a boost. Nearly finished with my slabbed collection of Quality Uncle Sam covers. It has been complete for a while but am slowing either subbing or buying graded copies. Six raws below but one is out for grading. Unfortunately one of the raws is trimmed so doubtful I would get that one graded. Not the highest graded examples by far but some great covers and good stories.

     

    Although, you can't see, this includes copies from the following pedigrees (alas the Pennsylvania and Rockford are the same issue so I only posted the Pennsylvania as it is a tad higher graded).

     

    Pennsylvania

    San Francisco

    Rockford

    Crippen

    Crowley

    WoW !

  2. I'm hopeful it will get better but honestly if it doesn't by the end of the season I can find something else to spend my time on.

     

    Oh and I kept it on the same channel to watch the goldburgs show after "was supposed to be about the goonies" that was slightly disapointing

     

    Still have Vikings and GoT to watch :)

  3. Love it ! and I have a request if you can do it !

     

    My fav toon as everybody knows is Don Winslow of the Navy. Now the thing about Don is this. he has a classic pose he uses in every photo cover :)

    "Gun at mid chest and other arm tossed to the side like he is surfing" see if you can spoof him :)

  4. I started out as a spork person but have been gradually upgrading to pitchfork's ! Hard to find high grade pitchforks !

     

    That said I have noticed that there is a varying standard on this forum in regards to latitude a person gets. If your well known or popular you can get away with quite a bit more than John-Q-Public

  5. still I show Heritage selling the church for like 1500'ish. The Okajima Boy 16 achieved a pretty solid number for what up until recently has been considered a minor pedigree by some. Even though I didn't win the auction, I am glad that the Pedigree is getting some respect as one of the more interesting out there :) and it bodes well for those of us hoping to finish of the list of Okajima books that are out in the wild and unaccounted for :)
