Posted By: <b>Paul</b><p>It's only January, but by the end of the year I'm sure this will still be very high on my list of favorite pickups of the year.<br /><br /><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1200634173.JPG">

Another Mislabel from PSA. <br /><p><img src="http://photos.imageevent.com/ruckers/hofcards/websize/edwalsh.jpg" width="373" height="640">&lt;/p&gt;<br /><p><img src="http://photos.imageevent.com/ruckers/hofcards/websize/edwalsh2.jpg" width="381" height="640">&lt;/p&gt;

Posted By: <b>DD</b><p>Let's start a pool on whether PSA would correct the flip if you sent it in to see if you could get a 6.5. My money's on no correction, regardless if it get's a 6.5 or not.

Here's all three:<br /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1200715940.JPG"> <img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1200715360.JPG"> <img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1200715795.JPG"><br /><br />Patrick

Posted By: <b>Scott M.</b><p>Inching ever closer on my quest for a complete Crofts Cocoa set...<br /><br /><img src="http://home.comcast.net/~croftscocoa/baseball/E92/E92_Wagner_Batting.JPG"><br /><br /><img src="http://home.comcast.net/~croftscocoa/baseball/E92/E92WagnerHonusThrowingSGC40CroftsCocoa.jpg"><br /><br />The Crofts Candy Wagner was just another that I couldn't pass up. Think it might be worthy of a 3.5? <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14><br /><br /><img src="http://home.comcast.net/~croftscocoa/baseball/E92/E92_Wagner_Batting_Candy_Front.JPG"><br />

Posted By: <b>Jerry Rucker</b><p>Nice Wagners , Scott<br />Your Post displays how much nicer cards look in SGC holders. <br /><br />The Condom Floaters like your Wagner and My Walsh are pathetic IMO. I think PSA should spend a little of their half grade income on coming up with some black inserts for their slabs.<br /><br />JMHO

Posted By: <b>Phil Garry</b><p>Yes, Ken W. That is the Southworth RC. Now if I can only pick up a Barney Dreyfuss, I would be in good shape.

Posted By: <b>DMcD</b><p>Not a pickup per se but didn't want to start a new thread. I finished a D304 player set last year and finally got around to posting images at the SGC set registry thanks to my trusty new scanner, an Xmas present from my trusty new wife.

Posted By: <b>DMcD</b><p>Thank you, Jeff. And congrats to all you New York Football Giants fans. I'm a Giants guy from the Charlie Conerly, Andy Robustelli days. Hope you go all the way!<br /><br />(Edited to remove egregious o/t digression)

Posted By: <b>DMcD</b><p>Ho, Max. I just edited my post to move it back on-topic a bit. Looks like I started an o/t slide. My apologies to one and all. <br /><br />Jeannette and I were married in 2003 which makes her a relatively "new" wife. It's just been one long honeymoon as I am sure she will attest. ("Yea, right, David." from the next room).<br /><br />What is that strange white matter in your photograph, by the way?

Posted By: <b>Jeff Lichtman</b><p>David, bring that photo back! Much better than the other pics on this thread! As for the Giants, my misery with them started in 72 during the Ron Johnson/Norm Snead era. My first game was the thrashing of the Eagles 62-10 -- and I actually thought the Giants were a great team! Little did I know...for about a decade, at least.

Posted By: <b>fkw</b><p>Just picked up this extremely tough to find Ruth.<br /><br />Its listed in the SCD page 539, but since it is so rare and newly listed they havent given values yet.<br />I know Leon has one of the Ruths and a couple other board members have examples of this set, and Adam has a couple of the Boxers from this set too.<br /><br />Anyone know of any others to add to this checklist???<br />Bob Meusel<br />Babe Ruth<br />Tris Speaker<br />Firpo (boxer)<br />Gans (boxer)<br />Gibbons (boxer)<br />Jack Johnson (boxer)<br />Ketchel (boxer)<br />Wolgast (boxer)<br /><br /><img src="http://members.aol.com/canofprimo/uncplayingruth.jpg">

Posted By: <b>Joe Drouillard</b><p>Hello Everyone,<br /><br />I'm excited to post my 100th addition to my T206 collection. I posted that I wanted something special on the BST and this is what I ended up with:<br /><img src="http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m10/northviewcats/BaseballCards005-7.jpg"><br /><br />Thanks Rob!<br /><br />Rob was also very generous and threw in this sharp Phelps to keep me moving up the mountain.<br /><img src="http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m10/northviewcats/BaseballCards006-6.jpg"><br /><br />I also picked up a few Highlanders off the BST from David. I really like this Elberfeld portrait.<br /><img src="http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m10/northviewcats/BaseballCards007-5.jpg"><br /><br />I hope everyone has a great year collecting!<br /><br />Best wishes,<br /><br />Joe

Posted By: <b>Dave F</b><p>Most back from SGC, Wagner just arrived the other day and got it scanned in. I thought some of the SGC grades were pretty tough...would have hoped the Vaughn was a 20 and would have loved to have seen the Bridwell grade..but oh well. <br /><br /><img src="http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l111/asphaltman76/E98/small%20e98/550_e98vaughnf.jpg"><br /><img src="http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l111/asphaltman76/E98/small%20e98/550_e98wagnerf.jpg"><br /><img src="http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l111/asphaltman76/E98/small%20e98/550_e98youngf.jpg"><br /><img src="http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l111/asphaltman76/E98/small%20e98/550_e98dahlenf.jpg"><br /><img src="http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l111/asphaltman76/E98/small%20e98/550_e98mullinf.jpg"><br /><img src="http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l111/asphaltman76/E98/small%20e98/550_e98bresnahanf.jpg"><br /><img src="http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l111/asphaltman76/E98/small%20e98/550_e98fordf.jpg"><br /><img src="http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l111/asphaltman76/E98/small%20e98/550_e98mathewsonf.jpg"><br /><img src="http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l111/asphaltman76/E98/small%20e98/550_e98mcgrawf.jpg"><br /><img src="http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l111/asphaltman76/E98/small%20e98/550_e98tennyf.jpg"><br /><img src="http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l111/asphaltman76/E98/small%20e98/550_e98bridwellf.jpg"><br />
