Great Cobb!

Good God!!! :eek:

Nice Jeff, finally decided to get a Cobb card...

That's a beautiful card.

Finally found one!!!
 

T206 Tolstoi Ty Cobb Red Portrait PSA 2

I try to stay away from T206s. I really do, but then when nothing else I want comes up for sale...

One White Elephant down....................
 

Never thought I'd be able to add an unopened, properly dated Old Mill slide pack, to my collection. Many thanks to a long-time pack collector (and member of this board), who contacted me after uncovering what is perhaps a once-in-a-lifetime "find" of several of these packs, along with at least a portion of the carton they came in! If you're wondering about the "overstamp," it is factory info only. Now, if only I could find a reliable TPG to certify and slab this baby:

Cool! Maybe a T206 Cobb in there? T210 Jackson? What could have come in it?

That is just amazing! Is there way to tell if a card is in there?

National Pack Opening
 

Congrats on the nice pickup! Would be awesome to see the pack opened at The National this year.

Over the years, some have suggested that an xray or MRI might reveal the contents of these packs--I'm not really sure about that. There is, of course, another method to "find out if a card is in there," but that of course is NOT going to happen. Thank you all for the positive comments, both here and via pm's.

Michael-

Beautiful pack. Save your money on the x-ray; it doesn't work!

First ever vintage card purchase. Not prewar...unless you count Vietnam.

Great card!!! One of my first vintage purchases as well following a '57 Topps Mays and Mantle

Thanks Dan. Now I'm looking at 1955 Topps Robinsons. Would love a 52 obviously. I can feel the sickness rising. :D

Thought about doing a Jackie Robinson master set but a) probably can't afford it and b) I don't know what the hell a master set is. :) Thought about trading some Jackie Robinson photos for cards, but figured that takes a unique collector crossover.

Tom Barker
 

Patiently waited and got my Pete Alexander. Though it's a Tom Barker version rather than a National Game, but no matter. I like the Barker backs better so it was a win to grab this. Edit to say I can't believe he was only 26 in this picture. He looks like he is 50.

June Pickup
 

Seems like a minor card....

But it is the last one I needed to complete the entire N28 and N29 sets, 100 cards, with both albums too. I'm finished with A&G... both sets accomplished.

Congrats, nice accomplishment when putting them together card by card.

Let's see 'em all!

Gotta love a guy named " Moose "

....just picked up the faded and worn 1933 Worch ; call me suspicious but the photos used for the cards look a little bit similar ; He's pictured wearing an athletics uniform but in 1934 he was playing with the Chicago White Sox ; I guess the Wheaties ( Gold Medal Foods ) guys didn't want to spend any extra money for a current photo since it was the depths of The Depression.After one year with the White Sox he pitched for the 1935 Brooklyn Dodgers and then in 1936 wound up his last year with the St. Louis Cardinals ( His manager then was Frankie Frisch , age 38 ; Moose was 36.) "Moose"... I like that.

A big thanks to board member Mike Garcia (of a few posts above this one) for going out of his way to alert me of a closing auction of a this card he knew I needed to finish my set. I haven't bought a card in over a year. I have been looking for this one for three years. Super glad to get this one at the price I did because of the kindness of a fellow board member. Thanks again, Mike. Also glad for the opportunity to try out my new scanner.

Dean the EPDG Young looks great for the grade, Congrats!

Thank you Jay! Been wanting a Young portrait with a tougher back.

I finally got an Old Mill back for my collection. Liked the odd coloring on the T59 I am guessing what ever stained the top of the card has something to do with the blue and green back. And just thought I would get a cheap Sanella.

N28 and N29
 

Per request, my N28 and N29 collection is up in a separate thread.

Not a new pickup but just got around to scanning it, thanks to a board member for the pickup!

I usually don't share new purchases since they are usually T206's and everyone knows what T206's look like. This one though is a bit different with the pink 8 or B printmark. Even though a known T206 printmark variation to most T206 collectors, I figured maybe a few viewers may not of seen one or knew of it. Enjoy. P.S. If T206's don't ruffle your feathers enough, this was a PWCC auction win. Sorry guys but it was a needed card and variation.

Love that EPDG Cy Dean, and very cool Marquard variation. Thank you Paul for offering up this beauty, secured via a trade this week.

Here are a few I picked up from net54 members, thanks guys.

Thanks Ian. You're amassing quite the auto collection. Great job!

Tough one.

Chuck, more great stuff. I love that Jordan.

Missed out on Leon's Altoona Tribune Wagner, but happy with this pickup:

First 1912. http://www.net54baseball.com/attachm...1&d=1497242734

Thank You Sean, I appreciate the kind words. If it's something different, that you don't see everyday, I try my best to get it.

Another month of fantastic pick up's by everyone, I enjoy looking at each and every card.

On a bit of Three-Finger Run.

Nice Grover Cleveland "rookie" card! Looks great!

And Rhett, that O'Doul Zeenut! Yowsers!!

Thanks Derek!

Greg, great card. There is something about the 1912s that you only appreciate when holding them in hand. Scans don't do them justice. And uber rare to boot!

Love the miscuts Chuck!

edjs--

One of my favorite cards is the 1913 McCredie...
