Thanks man. Appreciate it. I've not traditionally collected boxing either; but recently began to take an interest and it caught like wildfire. Such an interesting new niche that just feels fresh.

Never owned a T202 before. Went for them to advance Player Collections, but have to say they're just great!

I love the OBAKS.
Here is Curt Coleman, the first University of Oregon player to make the MLB when he suited up for a dozen games in 1912.

The best part about OBAKs is how they look so nice despite the technical grade.
I just got a lot more to add to my collection. Happy me.

Great cards this month, gang. Picked up this Cy Young BL 350 tonight. Great format, gives me time to bid or not to bid. Also, grabbed some n172's, more on that later. Struck-out on all the T216's.

Guessing that T206 is from 1909 since that's when Irv played for Minneapolis. Glad Heritage got the name right!

Thanks, Patrick and Dave. Nice MONO card.

The Irv "Young Cy Young" is from what they call "Print Group 2", thought to be released in the middle of 1910. "Young Cy" seemed to be going between Minneapolis and the White Sox between 1909-10.

Amazing card, Al!!

As far as negro league cards go.... but it is an "important card" due to the date (as close to a "rookie" as is reasonable to get)... the fact that he is in a Hilldale uniform and the dearth of material from the 1930s...

All and all, was quite surprised. I was bummed that I did not get the Charleston, but it was only a slight upgrade for me, so I bowed out after it hit 40k!...

O'well, we have to get em next time Kenny....

Nice cards, Ryan. Did you happen to pick-up the Jackson, also?

Ha. No, I didn’t. But hopefully one day.

Joe, the past few Heritage auctions and REA had some crazy rare stuff of guys I collect; things you may not see for 5+ years, if ever (an E92 red crofts, let alone an HOFer, a near complete Lincoln publishing set, a t216 wagner with 1-2-3 back). So yes, it’s been a busy (and expensive) few months for me.

Crowell played for both New Orleans in 1892, and Houston in 1899. Also, included an 1892 Pelicans team cabinet with Crowell pictured top row 4th from viewer's left, that I picked up earlier this year...

Your collages are absolute things of beauty, Jeff!

Picked up numbers 275 and 276.....5 to go. Pretty exciting to get this far!!

Anyone have EPDGs of Hummel, Tinker bat off, or Young with glove? Or low grade EPDGs of red Cobb or bat off Cobb?? Would love to see them!

I’m loving the Garbage Pail kids cards...I need to get a few to relive some of my best childhood collecting memories!

As a 2nd grader in 1985 I basically forgot about baseball cards when Garbage Pail Kids were out and hot. Actually remember trading most of my baseball cards for GPKs, and was willing to give just about anything for 1st or 2nd series which were tough to get. Everyone in school had them and were sticking them all over desks, books, buses, etc. It's crazy looking back on how twisted some of those things were, but as kids we ate em up.

About 15-20 years ago I grabbed a couple each of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th series sets and some 1st series pack for a few bucks. Prices have gone up substantially since, with individually graded 1st series cards and packs getting several hundred bucks, and sets 1-7 just fetching $3500 in REA.
https://bid.robertedwardauctions.com/bids/bidplace?itemid=67558

During the virus shutdown, I added a binder and the 5th and 6th series. Digging them out of the closet and sticking them all in a binder was a great midweek/midday boredom killer.

Love the GPKs. I remover them fondly, along with wacky packages. Snagged me a set of GPK series 1 a few years ago.

Wow Steve, congrats. That is a tough combo. Does that mean there may be a VE batting version of Wagner out there?

Yeah they are hard to come by. On the batting pose, the SS is also a lot less common than the 2b. At least from what I've seen, I don't follow the numbers a whole lot.

Congrats on the pickup Steve, and thanks for the easy transaction. Pretty amazing, the set you have going...

Picked up couple schedules I'd never seen before. Insurance agency schedule, 1951, looks like it has Gehrig on it. The matchbook is a 1950 schedule.

Nice T205's DavidM, here are a couple more from Leon on bst. Many high grade cards in all grades from that offering. For T205's, I think the SGC insert is a little better, as it does not obscure the border like the PSA holder.

Nice, T216, Steve.

Steve, CONGRATS on picking up such a rare card. Now then, I ask that you kindly focus on finding me a Hugh Jennings card with this same Kotton "NGO" back for my Jennings back run. :)

I agree. The PSA cards might sell for more, but the black border on the SGC cards helps them look nicer and you can see the whole border.

Thanks, guys. This one is definitely exciting for me, and I love that I need not care about condition. The card looks great in person.

Ryan, yes, theoretically, Wagner can be found in both s.s. Pittsburg batting and s.s. Pittsburg throwing with a Virginia Extra back, but I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for any examples to surface. They may just be lost to history...

Steve - great Wagner!

I was able to knock out some big pieces for my M101-2 set this month, including Wagner, one of the super-tough double-size team cards (also with Wagner), and the big card of the set :) Also happens to be the first JJax card I've owned, very excited.

Also picked up this beautiful T3 Mordecai Brown from the BST.

Thanks Joe - Believe it or not, I consistently get more praise for the quality of the images I post than the cards themselves. I may not always have the best cards, but apparently I have the best scanner!

I am terrible with words :) I was trying to compliment the cards. The scan quality is nice but the cards are fantastic!

Some additions to the 1949 San Francisco Seals Tour of Japan collection. Lefty O'Doul, Frank Strick Shofner and Roy Partee. I realize they are occupation years cards, so I hope it's still ok to post here.
