Very happy to pick up these 3 Speakers.:)

[Aaron Seefeldt]

Last night was a lot of fun... now it's time to go back into hiding/saving up mode.

[familytoad]

Holy Heck Aaron!
That's a way to step back up to the plate!
What a great haul of classic, important cards!
Congrats!

[Rhotchkiss]

Awesome haul Aaron. The T213 Cobb is Beast. Congrats

[itjclarke]

Last night was a lot of fun... now it's time to go back into hiding/saving up mode.

Wow!! I was high bidder on that E104-2, till you grabbed it late. Great pick up. Love the E103, and blue M116 as well. Congrats!

[itjclarke]

.. Once I was out on E104 Wags, I re-allocated my bid $$ to this lot (one reason I like when lots end together instead of individually). Have really wanted a signed Hornsby for a long time. Beat up or not I'm very happy with it, and the others. Glad to have the Vance as well.

Re- Hornsby, would be curious what some of the autograph guys thought of that Diamond Stars lot w/ Hornsby ("Auction LOA's").

[GregMitch34]

Wanted this one for quite awhile--cool, important guy and great image and color--and really happy to pick up as my sole Zeenut "type." Also it is highest graded. Plus: I knew he had played for Brooklyn, and went on to be a famous PCL manager--but did not know his semi-groundbreaking views on color barrier:

[KMayUSA6060]

Nice pickup for MY month (my last name is May). Got this bad boy from right here on Net54. Hyped!

[GregMitch34]

Picked up my first-ever Helmars. I know not everyone's cup of tea--and obviously not really mine--but thought I'd give them a try. Would only be interested in the cabinet size, partly for display purposes,and these did not disappoint--gorgeous, 8 x 10 and thicker than T3s, hefty. As you know, they added distressed look and rounded corners, but well done. Cobbie and Baker:

[vintagebaseballcardguy]

A few Obaks for me from a fellow board member. Thanks, Stuart! I am really liking these cards!

[Ronnie73]

Really nice Obak's. If I wasn't focused on T206's, I'd be collecting Obak's. Mainly because theres 3 series, different front/back combos, different subject numbers, with frames/without frames, with back stamps/without back stamps. More bang for your buck on Obaks as well.

[h2oya311]

I usually wait until I have card in hand, but I'm so excited with this one.

Holy crap! What a steal! How did I miss that auction! I was watching the McCredie that's Greg won and read up on McCredie's back-story written by Brian Campf (RIP) on SABR. Walt McCredie was a very interesting dude. That Zeenut really sticks out to me as well. Great grab.

I am stoked!!!

[scotgreb]

Always interesting to see where board members are focusing their efforts . . .

These are two that recently made it into my HOF collection. Both were downgrades per the grades on the flips -- which is not uncommon for my collection.

Here's something you don't see everyday! A 1939 "The Hartnett Club" Banquet Ticket In Honor Of Leo "Gabby" Hartnett (Monday, August 21, 1939).

[Rhotchkiss]

Two more Tinkers down, the latter -- the elusive Piedmont 350-460, factory 42 -- means this project is well within reach (thank you Adam!). Still need a Tinker Bat off AB and an EPDG, and could use a blank back

Brian, nice pickups! I was watching the Indy Brewing-Lajoie card - Nice! Don't forget to pay for them before midnight Pacific time to get your 8% eBay bucks.

I was also watching that LaJoie card, great pickup.

Also, to clarify, the auction only needs to end before the eBay bucks promo ends. You can pay for it anytime afterwards and still get the promo bucks!

My first and second Cobb(s), as well as not my first Cy (but it is my favorite card/pose of him).

[DeanH3]

Probably over-paid, but that's nothing new for me! I've always loved the pose and with '25s exploding I'd figure I'd go ahead and take the plunge. I was kinda surprised to see only 46 total graded between PSA and SGC.

Nice pick up! I watched that one tick down to 0 yesterday, almost almost bid but held off. Agree, it's probably a good time to snag the '27 with explosion of the '25. Would be curious to see what a '26 would get these days, since from what I've heard, they're tougher to find than the '25.

[yanksfan09]

Relatively newer pickups, but not May. But fresh back from SGC...

Quite sure none of these 5 are hand cut but they grade the whole set that way.

Ruth is really nice but has a date written on the back in pen.

[ValKehl]

Dmitry, I disagree with you, based on the following narrative taken from the promotional notification I received from eBay:

"The Promotion starts at 5:00AM PT on May 6, 2017, and ends at 11:59PM PT on May 7, 2017 (the "Promotion Period"). Extra eBay Bucks can only be earned on every single item purchased that meets the minimum purchase requirement specified in the offer (a "Qualifying Purchase"). Promotion is valid on multiple qualifying purchases made within the promotion time period....Purchases must be completed during the Promotion Period and paid for with PayPal before the Promotion ends."

[sterlingfox]

I've taken advantage of these bucks promos many times and have paid as much as a week later and always got the promo bucks. A Buy-It-Now auction, on the other hand, is a different story.

EDIT: I just paid for my PWCC winnings this morning (5/9), and the full 8% in eBay bucks got added to my account for the auctions that ended before the promo expired.

Thanks Ian! Years ago I almost pulled the trigger on a '21 exhibit Ruth, but never did. Now I regret it. Didn't want the same thing to happen again.

I too would be curious as to what a '26 would bring as well. They are tough for sure.

[Leon]

Great W575-1s. As you know SGC is currently re-evaluating the "hand cut' caveat on these cards since they are obviously not hand cut. I am sending my back to them to take another look at.....Hopefully they give us their honest opinion on the holders and not just company policy.

My new additions. I posted these in separate threads but probably should have posted them here.
First is half the Allen and Ginter N28 set. No creases but a few have what looks like a fingernail impression on the surface.
Second is my first Old Judge Cards. No creases and the backs are extremely clean.
I will probably get these graded at the next Philly show if they have on site grading.
Thanks for looking.

Nice Robert, you did well.

I really like the Anson, its usually o/c and sometimes the top of the bat runs into the border but yours has a nice gap of white there.

Nice cards Robert, your first three Old Judges represent 1887, 1888, and 1889 (right-to-left). Old Judge cards capture early baseball like no other set.

Steve, great card! It is like you are in my head, our collecting interests are so similar.

As a serious fan of Louisiana cards I want to give that T207 Red Cross some more love -- nice one Steve!

Wanted to mention Ed -- great T217 pickup...beautiful card! (Gotta love those T217s...). You and I chase the same cards all the time. :) (Although I was not the underbidder on your Howard.)

And Leon, that cabinet is great, for sure!

....Just picked up the Worch error "Gaslin"...The grader's specs guys and label writer, instead of putting the correct name and spelling in parentheses up top under the Manufacturer ID, just went by what was on the card sooooooo it's in the registry and VCP and inventories and pop reports and checklists as Leon "Goose" " Gaslin".... I love this hobby....

Hi all! Fairly new to this site and glad to be part of the community. I’ve been working on my Red Sox rookie PC lately and since I can’t seem to ever do anything in moderation, I went a little crazy the last few weeks. With REA ending and some well time eBay bucks bonuses, I’ve been able to cross off a few big ones from my hit list. Thanks for looking!

First, I snagged this one off of COMC. Not a high grade, but a decent pickup for COMC:

http://i1080.photobucket.com/albums/j338/SteveSweren/PC%20Project%20Red%20Sox/IMG_20170511_0003_NEW_zpsziskzyxd.jpghttp://i1080.photobucket.com/albums/j338/SteveSweren/PC%20Project%20Red%20Sox/IMG_20170511_0004_NEWa_zpsyxptgk5l.jpg

This is the first card I’ve ever won on REA. Highest graded and a real stunner:

http://i1080.photobucket.com/albums/j338/SteveSweren/PC%20Project%20Red%20Sox/IMG_20170508_0002_NEW_zpskyiaos8i.jpghttp://i1080.photobucket.com/albums/j338/SteveSweren/PC%20Project%20Red%20Sox/IMG_20170511_0004_NEWb_zpshpo9iofu.jpg

Was psyched to pick this up since I blew a chance to get a raw one on here. Only one graded higher and I love the look of this version.

http://i1080.photobucket.com/albums/j338/SteveSweren/PC%20Project%20Red%20Sox/IMG_20170511_0003_NEWa_zpslb467kjf.jpghttp://i1080.photobucket.com/albums/j338/SteveSweren/PC%20Project%20Red%20Sox/IMG_20170511_0004_NEW_zpscwna9qgy.jpg

Now for the big boy. I’ve never spent this much on a card AND still felt like I got a steal. This card is amazing – scan can’t do it justice. Only 2 PSA 10’s in existence.

http://i1080.photobucket.com/albums/j338/SteveSweren/PC%20Project%20Red%20Sox/IMG_20170511_0001_NEW_zps0uxv1yhw.jpghttp://i1080.photobucket.com/albums/j338/SteveSweren/PC%20Project%20Red%20Sox/IMG_20170511_0002_NEW_zpsmyirdais.jpg

Nice Cobb Jeff, one of my favs in the REA auction.

A new addition to the collection. Also my first Matty.

Thank you to Andy for a very pleasant multi-card trade! This Kane is a tough one, and it puts me within three cards of the set. :)

Wow...there cannot be very many complete sets in existence !
Even T211 type cards aren't that easy, but the whole set is a big accomplishment.
Major-minor league congrats!

I've never owned a signed T207 card before. Got outbid a few times in the past, but was able to make a trade for this one. Pretty excited about it!

Lots of good stuff here, guys. Glad to find this post. Here's one of the most recent pick ups. If lifetime passes interest you at all, here's a link to a few others, mostly MLB lifetime passes as well as letters from Honus Wagner, Walter Johnson, and Fred Clarke to Ford Frick thanking him for the passes.

Lifetime pass page link here (http://www.cooperstownexpert.com/2016/06/lifetime-passes-were-the-brainchild-of-nl-president-ford-frick-heres-a-pictorial-history/).

While at the site you can search for your favorite HoFer as all are there. There's also a couple hundred non-HoFers too.

Great stuff everyone.
I may be getting some Mecca Boxing cards tomorrow. Plus some 1920's? and 1950's Boxing Exhibits.

I agree that a complete set is tough, but I took a shortcut by buying the near-set in REA spring 2015. I've been adding, trading, and upgrading since then...trying to complete the set without marks, major paper loss, or trimming.

It's been a lot of fun, and I've met several nice people in the process!

[triwak]

Apologize for one more post-war card from me on this thread, but thought this was too cool to pass up: Autographed Jim Rowe PC of this tough HOFer. Pre-stroke! Guessing this is circa early 1970s.

You gotta get a '41 PB Joe D to round out the trifecta. THAT would be really cool. Good luck Ian!

Thank you Kenny for giving me a shot at this card. I had always admired it since you first showed it to me :)

Thanks Leon! The pose I drooled over as a kid in a baseball card shop in Joplin Missouri back in the 90's. It was in one of those thick 1" screw down holders which made it standout even more. Glad to pick up a very presentable example!

[Leon]

I think I had my "aha" moment the first time I saw one too. It was like,
ok, this is what an old baseball card should look like (to me). My first one came from a mimeograph from Gar Miller but when I got it Babe had a wrinkle right through his face which couldn't be seen from the paper picture I had seen.

Yup, would love it, but it's a little steep for me price wise. The mentioned Mile High lot of all 3 signed Dimaggios sold for like $1800 back in I think 2015. The Joe D was really nice and the Vince and Dom were the exact ones I ended up with. Don't think that pricing still applies today!

Thanks. The color and background on that Cobb always grabbed me, very striking.

Another Helmar where the art of the painting justifies the series. This is an 8 x 10 cabinet with a very vivid Earl Averill, Mel Harder and WaJo.

My new cards

[rainier2004]

This has been #1 on my wantlist for nearly a decade...I cannot believe its in my hands. My life is complete...

[T206Collector]

This has been #1 on my wantlist for nearly a decade...I cannot believe its in my hands. My life is complete...

How about a fancy description of this life-altering card? (What is it? I don't collect 19th C.)

[rainier2004]

How about a fancy description of this life-altering card? (What is it? I don't collect 19th C.)

And this is a big deal to me. This card has been #1 on my want list for nearly a decade. I actually have lists, goals and all that outlined on my computer and it was always at the top, black in color as I didn’t have one. I believe this is where our hobby started, I believe this card was issued in 1869 and I believe I will never sell it. It is nowhere near the most valuable card I own but it is the center of my collection and joins my w601 Detroit, 14 Matty and 796 Cobb/Wagner and my favorite cards.

There are 26 of these graded, most look pretty rough and I couldn’t afford a nice one so this was perfect…it also came in 5 spots below my max bid making the whole thing better. It’s advertised as the rarer CdV smaller version which is untrue as the larger trade card has fewer examples, especially those in black ink opposed to red. I found 20 different examples and their images online and these are the numbers:

7 of the larger, trade card variation and all 7 have the p/s ad back.
1 of the larger cards is black ink
6 of the larger cards is in red ink

13 of the smaller, cdv variation with 5 different variations of these
4 w/ the Chadwick’s back like mine
2 w/ a p/s back similar to the chadwicks using text and not pictures
4 w/o any advertising and shows the lineup on the back; 2 of these have text on the front along a side panel while the other two have the text along the bottom panel
1 w/ Red Stockings etc. on the back and no ads
2 where I couldn’t see the back

I wonder what the September 13, 1869 date written on both sides is for though. A quick internet search shows the team was traveling from the end of the season on the eastern side of the country (NY specifically) to the start of the their California tour and first game in Missouri. on the 15th of that month.

But this is in no way a Peck & Snyder card, it has nothing to do with the sporting goods store. This card advertises Chadwick’s reference book produced in 1869. There are several theories out there but this is the first BB card IMO. This concludes a HUGE Spring for me, biggest acquisition period I have ever had including the Betz, a CJ Cobb, a pile of 796s plus some other goodies totaling 19 cards.

[Jobu]

CONGRATS Steve!!!! I know how long you have been after that one! I am very happy to see that you finally got it.

Thanks guys, I really do appreciate it.

So I have learned some things from another member how about the card including the fact it is a 1869 card which I did know, but all of these Cincinnati cards are Peck & Snyder cards, Chadwick's was the editor and p/s was the publisher. I did not know that...

I took the card to work today and showed the couple people I wanted to see and others kept coming up and asking about it. I was surprised how many were interested in it and they were really interested in it and would carefully examine the card. Of course there was the "How much did this cost" questions...

Jlange, there are others pictured with that article also used by Helmar, including--at auction this week--that Foxx/Mack photo. The Babe Herman was auctioned on cabinet last week....But article very vague on sourcing and why showing these now, and don't know if Helmar owner bought rights to them or he commissioned, or what.... I bought the Averill/Harder/Johnson card last weej and Grover Cleveland Alexander, not pictured, recently from them, probably same source.

[MattyC]

Nice pickup guys! Tip Top Wagner a great card to own along with the mascot from the same series.

Thanks guys! It's a great piece, hard to find both Anson & Kelly together. It was one of those I tossed out a bid that I didn't think had a chance to win and I won. lol.

So wasn't on a list of anything I was really looking for at the time but thought it was amazing so gave it a shot. I like how it can be tied to the Harpers Weekly woodcut as well.

..( for the members who are not all that familiar with the 3 x 5-ish black and white premiums/photocards of the thirties , this "Joe (not "Ducky"; JOE !!) Medwick" is actually a 1934 Wheaties premium from Gold Medal Foods; R313A in the book.
