You had me going there for a minute, Turd.

[brianp-beme]

A 1943 R302-1 that I recently picked up. I guess this makes me the real April Fool.

You poor unfortunate guy! Glad you finally got to fill that gaping hole in your collection! ;)

[bobfreedman]

This has been on my want list for a while.

[Bicem]

Very nice Bob!

1874 cabinet card of Wes Fisler of the Philadelphia Athletics credited with scoring the first run in MLB history.

Top of the card has "Ret(urn) to Mr Murnane". Murnane was his teammate and later a sportswriter. This photo, as a woodcut, was featured in the July 25th, 1874 Harper's Weekly magazine along with 8 of his teammates. I'm suspecting this note may be associated with that publication.

That's mine! To quote a fellow collector, "My collection is not for sale but everything has its price!" :D

[GaryPassamonte]

Nice Fisler, Rob.

[CobbSpikedMe]

Added another E93 HOFer that just arrived today.


.

[yanksfan09]

Recently added my first Rose PC from a trade with a board member and got another of this rare PC of Ruth, also from a board member via ebay.

[Forever Young]

Added another toughy thanks to a fellow board member; matty cycle 37-1 t205. It is a respectable, centered example and it makes me happy.

[Tim Kindler]

Justin,
I love the clarity on that ZEENUT Vance...Congrats!
Tim Kindler

[mybuddyinc]

A fine result from a "creative" trade with Luke ..... :)

I always wanted a tougher 460 only EPDG of Gandil. Although I do not seek out double names .... I have to say it's kind of way cool ..... :cool:

Dessau has been on the top of my want list for a loooooong time .... :o ... He's just so tough with any mid-tier back ..... ;)

[Santo10Fan]

Coincidentally, I got it on the 45th anniversary of 715. Weird feeling now that my on/off 15-month hunt is over. EX 5.

[CobbSpikedMe]

Scott, is the word Cork missing from the back of the Gandil EPDG or is there just paper loss there?

[Rhotchkiss]

Some great pick ups this month. Congrats all. I picked this up last night just as the NCAA game ended.

[G36]

Thank you ebay...

Always looking for more...

[T_Hamilton]

Grabbed this Cobb last night from PWCC. Beautiful example for the grade in my opinion... I could really see these skyrocketing in price even more, hence the reason I grabbed it.

[jthorst75]

Beautiful T227 Cobb! My favorite card of all time and I'm still waiting for the right one. Great pickup!

[Bill77]

I picked this up at a local card shop. The printer must have been hit in the head while printing this or drunk.

[C-mack]

Ebay bucks helped me add to my cracker jack pitcher set I'm doing

[Brian Van Horn]

Bad Bill.

[Kawika]

Bad Brian.
Terrific score!

[Brian Van Horn]

Bad Brian.
Terrific score!

Thank you, David.

[T206Collector]

I've been eyeing this one for many years, since it first showed up in Heritage Auctions four years ago. Finally was able to pull the trigger. My first signed Cobb anything, and I'm thrilled about it!

[Rascal1010]

Feel very fortunate to pick up this 1937 Goudey Premiums Wide Pen Type 4 Gabby Hartnett, WAY nicer than the 1936 Type 1 I have in my collection!

[C-mack]

Got the last two I needed for my Cj pitchers set in today

That Joe Wood is Smoking!!

Feel very fortunate to pick up this 1937 Goudey Premiums Wide Pen Type 4 Gabby Hartnett, WAY nicer than the 1936 Type 1 I have in my collection!The view of that old version of Wrigley's bleachers in the background is a bonus.

[wondo]

A few tougher T207s

[Gobucsmagic74]

they’re pickups....from SGC 😁

[Kawika]

Never noticed that the text on the back of Joe Wood's Cracker Jack referred to him as "Joseph". Surprised they would propagate that erroneous appellation on the flip. His given name was Howard. Joe was his childhood nickname. Never was Joseph. Am probably in the minority of folks who give a hoot. Very nice card anyway.

[Rhotchkiss]

Some very cool pickups in the past few posts (the 1915 CJ Wood, in particular, is beast). Congrats. I picked both of these up last night at LOTG. very excited (and poor).

Congrats! The fielding is a special card!

[frohme]

A few tougher T207s

Nice cards, John - knocking out the tougher ones first. It'll keep the long-term frustration way down.

congrats...one of the best cobb rookies out there!!!!!

[Rhotchkiss]

Thanks guys. I paid up on both, but the e90-1 Wags is underrated difficult and very tough to find remotely centered, and the Dietsche- well, I figured it was pay up now or pay even more later (at least I hope)

[Brian Van Horn]

[Puckettfan]

Very happy to bring Master Melvin home from the show this weekend. I really like this issue (#127) for the scowling portrait of a guy who from all accounts was a "nice guy."

Also, most of the time I like the 33's better with the banner at the bottom but I think this card looks better without.

[Rhotchkiss]

Picked this up last night

[MVSNYC]

Ryan, Brian et al, awesome cards!

I got this in LOTG...can't believe after 30 years of collecting, this is my first Goudey Ruth. Might need to chase all 4 poses now?! :)

[charlietheexterminator]

Ryan, just another killer month for you.
Dan, nice Cobb’s.
Mikey, not sure why that Ruth is only a 2 grade, it’s a beauty.

[yanksfan09]

Great looking Ruth Goudey!

[charlietheexterminator]

New Green Cobb.

[MVSNYC]

Awesome, Chuck!

[Rhotchkiss]

NICE Chuck!!! Congrats

[glchen]

Needed a Mathewson for my collection. Very happy to add this one.

[Bicem]

Yowsers! Great Matty.

[Forever Young]

Wow. Nice pickup

[oldjudge]

Great card Gary-congratulations!

[MVSNYC]

Incredible pick up, Gary.

[Rhotchkiss]

Congrats Gary. Very nice pick up

[glchen]

Thanks, everyone! Very happy to have that card.

[RCMcKenzie]

Whoa, some difficult cards to follow this month. Nice going.

Here's more of a common card with large borders. Some call these "Jumbo T206" others call them 'what T206 cards used to look like in the seventies' (Nooo! that's wrong, just joking)...

[Rhotchkiss]

I got totally blown away on the W600 street clothes in Heritage last night (man did that trade for a ton), but I am happy to pick these up; the Chance was an eBay pick up.

[iowadoc77]

Great pickups Ryan! That W600 you got us phenomenal. Nice cards all around.
The street clothes went crazy in extended bidding. Wonder who landed that one? Deep pockets for sure.

[BLongley]

Ryan! Wow wow wow!! Congrats on those amazing pickups! Especially the Wags W600... I know you had your eye on that one ideally the street clothes version, but your consolation prize is not too shabby ;)

[MVSNYC]

Ryan, even though it's rarer, the street clothes version doesn't hold a candle to the aesthetic pleasure that his uniform version provides.

[pawpawdiv9]

Nice additions fellas. I got bumped on a few items in HA the day before and in another auction as well. Prices on blue-chip stuff is definetly not cheap anymore.
I went for the Orcaja Dimaggio and the Ruth goudey SGC2 (#144)
One positive thing is- no money spent and drool on my keyboard.

[ZiggerZagger]

Nice, centered pickups from a fellow board member -- thanks Jared!

Very impressive Ryan, just stay away from the 19th century. 😉

Nice 41 Playball Ott. Great colors too!

Heritage and Hunts pickups for the '09 collection

[Bicem]

Great pickups! Love the Pirates cabinet!

[Rhotchkiss]

Those are awesome Chris, Congrats.

[cracker_jack]

Thanks Jeff & Ryan. I was astonished at what the Pirate W600s went for. Hoped for the Gibson too but maybe next time.

[Joe_G.]

Some great items posted from some strong Spring Auctions.

I was particularly drawn to the many Larry Twitchell estate items in the REA Spring Auction. I was able to pick up several Tomlinson cabinets and a new box for some of my favorite cigarette packs.

Wow Joe, very cool, figured you'd be all over the cabs as well.

[Vintagecatcher]

Finally ended a long drought of not adding any T210s.

Two arrived in the mail today!

Added: E.A. SHERRILL, RALEIGH (EASTERN CAROLINA LEAGUE) T210-7 &
M.G. IRVINE, RICHMOND (VIRGINIA LEAGUE) T210-2.

Funky fat border on the Irvine T210. Not sure if it is faded or missing gloss or simply printed when the red ink was running low?

Perhaps my first pink border card!

[C-mack]

Finishing the month with a couple red background psa 3s

Great pickups, Steve! I love that Uncle Jack.
