way to jump in and take the plunge on pre-war baseball with an awesome (and rare) Ruth!

[yanksfan09]

Love that Ruth Anish! Very scarce and underrated issue imo.

Picked up this game used 1979 Pirates Jersey

[Rhotchkiss]

A mild toughie in my stupid quest to tackle a back run of this front. What’s most notable here is that I bought this Yepbg; he had it listed at a silly number, I offered him 75% of his ask, which was still a strong but more reasonable price, and he accepted without counter. I guess satisfactory deals with Yepbg can be done, which is nice to know bc he has done solid cards

Awesome pick up. A back run of that front seems like it could get expensive. LOL

Edit: I meant no offense. I just saw in another thread you are also interested in a T206 Wagner. :)

[BLongley]

Just got this one in.... now over 70% complete on my PSA T206 HOF Registry.

[gabrinus]

That E106 Wagner is a tough card.....Jerry

[realbigfatdog]

Those E106's are certainly not easy. I picked up a Chase portrait to go along with the fielding version that I already had. Now if only I could find both Chase versions of the D303............https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180602/adb3c5aeb640dc54477cb036f148fed3.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180602/d06defdf6466d42ecfdf30ff5219592e.jpg

I sold one of these a few years ago and instantly regretted it. Now I have a better looking one for the collection. Very happy!

[Rhotchkiss]

That’s a pretty card Dave, congrats. You get it in Sterling? If so, I think you did very well (for what it’s worth).

[smellthegum]

This was an antique store find this weekend. It's the first tobacco card I've picked up in years (and first T205 ever) as I've been focused on completing some post-war sets. While not a rare back (SC factory 42) I'm glad it's a HOFer. It was the only card the dealer had and the price was right. I'll be checking in there more frequently now.

[KMayUSA6060]

Thank you 20% eBay coupon.

[conor912]

Extremely excited to pick these up in the same week, both for completion of their respective sets. Took me 3 years of aggressive searching (thanks to all who tolerated my BST pleas) to find a Teddy with the centering I was looking for....what a beast.

Congrats, dude. Patience paid off!

[Jobu]

Thanks to RMY for a great photo of Mr. Spahn and thanks to Don for the Matty - I don't usually go for authentic cards but this one spoke to me. A Bresnahan printer's scrap that appears to be missing some shade of the red.

[Joem36]

Picked these up this week. Tougher ones to find. I'm up to about 80 for the set in the 6 to 8 PSA range.

[tiger8mush]

Joe M, I like the P2 Phillippe, very nice!

Picked up this 1899 Worcester Gazette paper supplement with photo of the team. Has a couple of MLBers in it, such as Bransfield and Viau. Examples of their cards are below (I no longer own the Viau).

Incredible card.

If you're careful, you can take a drill bit, put a hole through the case where the hole in the card already exists, and put it on your keys/keychain!

Thanks Luke. Wife isn’t too thrilled with me right now. But, hey, the dog house isn’t so bad after awhile, especially since I have my cards in there with me!

[ValKehl]

A real tough addition to the Sam Rice master collection. Glenn, thanks again!

After a little dry spell I picked up my first Jimmy Foxx card.

Needed an HOF no-frame AB 350 for my master back run, and this baby just came along tonight. Not the rarest front/back combo, but likely no better HOFer with the AB 350 no-frame back. I also picked-up the Chance Piedmont Factory 42 last night as an upgrade for the back run. Very psyched

I love this card. It's one of my most prized possessions. Congratulations.

Before I posted this I wanted to get validation on its legitimacy from other members. I know cards, but Pinkertons.......well:

Received the 4th and final E98 Matty today, the orange. For anyone keeping score at home, combined "GPA" is a 1.125:D

[CobbSpikedMe]

Ian,

Those E98s look great together. The E98 is my favorite Mathewson and seeing all four colors together is cool.

Thanks for sharing them.

[itjclarke]

Thanks Andy, first thing I did was line them up in a row on my coffee table. His E98 is a cool card indeed.

Now if I could only figure out why the pic is laying on its side.:D

[itjclarke]

Thanks guys! And thanks Leon for fixing my pic. That's the first time that's happened to me.. I tinkered around for a while trying to find a fix but lost patience.

Sweet CJ Hooper. I still can't get over how many MLBers small Saint Mary's college produced back then, and after.

I am very happy to add this to my collection.

Thanks to Luke for this Spencer Hindu...I thought it made for cool companion to my Proof.

If anyone has some other Spencer examples (different backs), I might play around with a back run for this pose. We'll see.

[ruth_rookie]

Wanted this HOF'er for sometime.

Incredibly nice Cracker Jack, Mike. The color is amazing and I don’t see any candy stains. A rare find indeed. Well done.

[Luke]

5/6 of these came from net54 members, though not directly in all cases. Thanks guys!

[Rhotchkiss]

Nice Luke. That Sunrize Bread is beast. Very rare. And I was looking at that Bender cycle 460 - great combo and good looking card (I took down the wajo AB 350 no frame instead and glad I held off this and you got it)

[Luke]

Thanks Ryan! I've started working on the 1917s and figured I'm going to need at least one Merchants, so why not snag a HOFer? Thanks for letting me have the Bender! :p

[BLongley]

It's a beater but a beaut nonetheless. Especially for $5 at a shop in Vegas. Gotta love the stores that specialize primarily in new wax.

Glenn,

That Collins is awesome!

[Rhotchkiss]

My first R&R Auction experience -- love the 30 minute, extended bidding starting at 7pm Eastern, but man this auction brought some very healthy prices. Lets see how the shipping goes (obviously, card is not in hand yet)

[CobbSpikedMe]

That is a sweet looking E92 Ryan. Wow. Congrats on the win.

[ValKehl]

Ryan, I would have been shocked if you hadn't won that Wagner card! :D Well done!

[MVSNYC]

Ryan- great Wags!

Looks like I won this (really clean) Red Hindu in Goodwin last night.

[Rhotchkiss]

Awesome!! I didn’t know you were going for that; I wish you told me bc if I didn’t win the Wags, I was going hard for that and would have added some $$ to the hammer price for sure. Great looking red Hindu - very sharp. Congrats.

And thank you Andy and Val

[MVSNYC]

No sweat, thanks...I guess I figured you weren't on it, since it's not a HOFer...either way, I feel it's within market value, and I didn't overpay.

Email me later, we need to catch up.

[Jobu]

Great Wags Ryan and Michael, this is my card of card, a stunning 2. Nice one!

I collect low grade raw and nicer ones in SGC slabs...Here's my two newest

[Rhotchkiss]

Totally OT, but Brian, your album connected to SGC is totally awesome. Is that part of the new SGC stuff? That is really a cool album -- great pickups too!

[familytoad]

Hey Ryan, compared to your collection you’ve posted , mine is the minor leagues, but I do enjoy it.

The SGC registry gets criticized a lot, but for a visual representation of a collection, I like it. I’m not competing with anyone, I’m just charting what I have. This scrolling view has been around a few years, I hope they don’t eliminate it, but could always improve it I suppose.

I’ve got a few more sets listed besides my SGC HOF Collection. I did some editing this afternoon.

NOW...back to the eye candy, I love the monthly pickup threads!

Happy Collecting all !

[luciobar1980]

Snagged this today! Looks silly for a 2! And my first Diamond Star! I was looking through a bunch ending today and it really is one of the more beautiful sets, IMO. I wanted to bid on them all but controlled myself. haha

[LuckyLuke]

Description on the Babe Lot only described it as a Rare auto in a not often seen hand written format. What is interesting is that the Post card was written while Babe and the Montreal Canadiens made hockey history when they embarked on the FIRST ever European Tour with the Detroit Red Wings that saw the FIRST ever NHL Exhibition Game in Europe....the FIRST NHL games outside of North America. They would play 9 exhibition games on England and France.

The Babe in this post card speaks of," just getting back from one a few minutes ago", and is Paris. He actually scored in the game that he makes a mention of. Very historical piece with great hockey content.

The beautiful Cy Rigler ball just drew me in...

[wacturner]

Thanks to fellow board member Ben for helping me get this card. Didnt realize he would be such a tough card to find. Took me a while to get one. If anyone has the pitching poses or the columbus variation looking for them as well.

[itjclarke]

Almost bid that E120 Alexander, nice pick up Brian.

Here's another GC, psyched by the brightness of this 1914, and virtually no staining.
