[BabyRuth]

A tough Ruth for my W553 set along with a few others for my sets.
I really like the rare 48 Leaf Overmire with the missing black printing process.

[Rhotchkiss]

Ben, I love that A's PC -- that is one of the all-time best teams, ever.

Here is my first two February pick us -- I had been watching this Cobb for years and the BIN price suddenly seemed appropriate. I missed out on the BlueBird Ruth in Sterling last night, but I was able to secure another one nonetheless

Oh my.
We might as well lock the thread.
Not going to top that Cobb without pulling a muscle. :cool:

[tkd]

Beautiful Cobb!

[chadeast]

Spectacular Cobb!! Congrats. If I have to be the one to follow that, at least it's with my one of my holy grail cards. Just got it today and I can't stop smiling. :)

Congrats Chad, happy a member got that one. You got a good value imo.

Thanks Phil, I really appreciate it. I thought it was a good value too. I was a bit surprised but absolutely thrilled to be the high bidder. It's the crown jewel of my collection, by a long shot.

[Rhotchkiss]

Thanks guys. Chad, that card is a beast, congrats!

Great T216s Leon- I too love those cards.

A few more pickups; The T206s are from friends and the team signed, 1938 Minnesota Miners (Ted Williams pre-rookie) was from Clean Sweep (have they sent invoices yet?)

Happy to add these little gems to my fledgling west coast "type" collection.

[Scocs]

Wow, you rarely see T217s in that high grade. Nice pull!

[CobbSpikedMe]

Awesome Mono Phil. Great condition for that set.

[Casey2296]

Thanks guys. Andy I'll email you on those 98's today.

Fun, fun, Scott :rolleyes:

[Rhotchkiss]

Amazing Cobb, Jay. Congrats.
Phil, that is a great looking T217
Scott, you cannot go wrong with Hodi-backed portraits of T206's best HOFers. Now you just need the Red Chance Hindu back and you have a poem

[Casey2296]

I've always liked this image, the colors and background texture are mesmerizing, been on my checklist for a while. Standard Dockman back, I think Leon has most/all of the other backs to this image.
This would be one of those cards where the recent thread "how much would you pay for centering" is applicable.

[x2drich2000]

Finally found a N172 Rehse at a price that was reasonable to go with my cabinet, now only 5 more poses to go. Thanks to Chris (Iconsportscards) for the Mathewson.

Up until last week, the 1935 Goudey 4 in 1 was the only Ruth I had. Excited to add one more Ruth to my collection!

[Casey2296]

Went on a mini Hornsby run. Member pick up on the 21 Exhibits, thank you Luke.

[DeanH3]

Nice group Phil. I have always liked the '21 Exhibits pose.

[h2oya311]

I think I got these both last month, but IMO they aren’t official until scanned, so they count for February!

I guess I went on a little Hugh Duffy run...not as cool as Hornsby, but fun for me nonetheless:

[Casey2296]

Thanks Dean, the 21 is my favorite Hornsby image. Derek that OJ is a really cool card, I like the way he's giving the viewer a little side eye.

[ahumes13]

Nice Hornsby’s and Duffy’s! Hard to find Hornsby and Wilson as Cubs, the 4-1 is great, and love the Duffy Cabinet!

[Leon]

Great cards so far guys and girls!

Thanks for this one, Jay!

(always looking for big top-bordered T206 HOF'ers I don't have :))

Picked up another N172 Nash, Hands on Knees for the different font!

[buymycards]

Thanks to Rob for these.

[RayBShotz]

Thanks to Luke for this EPDG add!

This post needs more Duffy!

I don't get to post over here very often, and this is baseball adjacent, but I just picked up a 1911 T25 of De wolf Hopper, the actor that made Casey at the Bat famous. I also picked up a period correct tin that it would have come in, complete with 1910 tax stamp. This is all going towards a Casey at the Bat display in the memorabilia room.

Is that a back stamp on the bottom?

Looks that way. I just held it up in the sun and it looks like it says clyde. That's a nice catch because I hadn't noticed it until you pointed it out.

[Casey2296]

One of the last cards of my Kashin run and one of my favorite Mel Ott images. Member pick up, thank you Derek.

[jayshum]

Picked up my first T202 Cobb. Card has some creases but at least the Cobb end panel is clean.

[Casey2296]

A nice little Cracker Jack addition. Registration on the card is superior to the registration on the label.

This came today. I really like the W574s.

Happy to snag the signed Big Cat rookie at Wheatland. Now just need to straighten it out inside its holder.

[Wanaselja]

Adding some more Hornsby to this thread. Had been hunting for one of these for a bit.

Phil, isn't that Mel's rookie card?

[Casey2296]

Phil, isn't that Mel's rookie card?

That's arguable, I think it is as it was his 1st widely available image, the hobby in general considers the Goudeys his rookie card since that qualifies as a "card" more than the thinner stock Kashin. Technically his true rookie card would be the Goblin Merrymint O.H. Melville card but I think there's only one of those.

Either way, the Kashin is one of his better playing day images in my opinion.

Nice Hornsby Adam, that one is surprisingly hard to find, and is my favorite image behind his 21 exhibits.

[pherbener]

Picked up this 1927 Jimmie Foxx

[Belfast1933]

I want to thank Robbie for a flawless transaction as I added this amazing Foxx to my HOF collection! I blew right by my intended budget but how could I say no to this one??

Also, I added "grass" to my card cave so I thought I'd add a few additional images to give a virtual tour of my ever-changing card cave. Dang - still have NOT mastered keeping photos right side up!

(You might also see that I have given a special honor to the 2 cards that "started it all" for me in 1974 as an 8 year old Red Sox fan... good old Juan Beniquez and Rick Miller)

thanks again, Robbie!

Jeff

[itjclarke]

Congrats on the Foxx Jeff, he was a great pick for your next target.

Re- sideways photos I've also had issues with just about anything taken from my iphone. They almost always post sideways here, though being properly oriented in my saved file. I've even tried to save four files of a pic, each rotated at 90 degrees and re-posting them one at a time. However when I preview the post, the only orientation that won't display is right side up.

The only way I've gotten them to right side up is to open the file in a format like paint, re-save it, then post. Guessing there are easier fixes, but this works for me.

[Rhotchkiss]

Jeff, that Jax Holmes to Homes is AMAZING!!! So Tough. Congrats

Nice pickup Paul...I have never seen a blue ink version of W560 cards. They are normally either just black or red ink, or black and red. It looks legit, and it does have the SGC seal of approval, so congrats.

Jeff, congrats on the Foxx. By the way, where did you get those blown-up stadium photos? I've been toying with the idea of something similiar.

[ValKehl]

Jeff, congrats on getting the Joe Jax with a CLEAN H to H back. I would so love to pick up a WaJo with a comparable H to H back. I'm going to really enjoy watching you add to your 1916 Joe Jax back run.

[Belfast1933]

Jeff, congrats on the Foxx. By the way, where did you get those blown-up stadium photos? I've been toying with the idea of something similiar.

If you PM me, I’ll track down the site - I bought the rights to the photo I wanted, and then ordered a custom canvas print to fit the opening of the old fireplace.

The photo rights were about $20, the canvas cost about the same and the stand was maybe $10?

Total, about $50 when all was said/done

[ocjack]

I'l appreciate the website as well. Can you post it here for others? Great set-up, thanks for letting us see it.

Nice pick up. Walter Johnson, 1st five, a man of incredible character. People often posit "if you could have dinner with five people who would they be?"
For me Walter Johnson would be one of them. Here's a 1/1 of Walter in hunt mode in the year 1913 when he owned the league.

That's an awesome image, shows perfectly him having strong character in his posture that he backed up on the field... and as a person. I also like how he always dressed the part even outside of baseball. And that you used 'posit'!
