I've heard it said that the strip was cut way back in the 1950s.

Haven’t seen one that nice. Great pickup.

Excited to find a REALLY tough RC of Stan the Man...

John, Chris and Jay (nice rare, non-t206 pickup), great pick-ups. Congrats!

Love the 460/25 backs

Stan the Man
 

Killer Sears Musial, Chris.

my holy grail!

Jay, nice WaJo.

Jay, Congrats on the Johnson, it’s a beauty

Very excellent Jay. You are on a serious role.

It was YOU!!!!!

Killer card, Chris! One of the rarest "rookies" in the hobby. Only the second Musial from that set that I've ever seen. Congrats!

Great Walter Jay. And Rob, that's a couple nice HOFs.

Jay, nice looking WaJo for the grade and very scarce front-back combo. Congrats!

Thanks Sean.

Thanks guys! This is a card I never thought I'd see.

This scarce Worch Cigar pick up from eBay might not interest any of you, but it sure excites me because William/Billy "Pinky" Hargrave was on the 1924 Senators championship team. I collect cards of all the players on this team, and picking up a scarce card of a hardly-known player excites me just as much as if I had acquired a T206 BL 460 of WaJo (well, almost as much!).

Thanks for posting reverse, Brian van horn.

I'm gushing over this Chief Meyers (especially in black jersey).

This is outside the scope of my normal baseball collecting, but Naubinway (upper peninsula Michigan) is one of my favorite places so I had to pick it up. Postmarked 1910.

521
 

So...um....yeah. 521

Don’t tell my wife.

Nice get Val- I know it’s getting harder and harder for you to find things. Rob and Jeff, nice puck ups. And Jeff, 521 is amazing; I wonder what the last 3 are....:o

Nice going. Are you going to go for 522?

Thank you!

I would have to “align” a lot of things for that to happen....and it wouldn’t be a pretty Plank, that’s for sure....haha.

Hey Jeff, Congrats Of 521 🍾

.

Don't tell my wife.
 

Best line in the hobby. It means you are doing it right, or about to go bankrupt.....or get divorced......or all of the above.

I was pretty happy to add this Baltimore Newsboy Speaker - he's got about 7 friends waiting to welcome him to his new extended E94 family......

That is awesome.

Congratulations Scott! That was me on the other end of that extended bidding, bidding war. I am glad I gave up when I did and that it went to such good use. I respect the hell out of back and color runs, and that one is awesome. Enjoy it, and dibs if you ever look to sell (the card or the whole run!).

Ryan

Congrats, that's a great run! Very nice card

Thanks! Glad you bowed out when you did - although I was ready to bid higher if needed, I actually fell asleep after entering my last bid (not a ceiling bid either). Woke up at about 2 AM afraid that I missed out, and happy to find I got it.

Will certainly keep you in mind should I ever do anything with these - I can now forgive myself for not getting one of these 5 years ago when I had a chance!

Got this last night in Heritage!!!

Fantastic back run. And I know that feeling about missing out and chasing the card for years. :(

Nice Wagner Ben!

That Tris color run is super neat!

Picked this one up last night, paid too much but couldn't resist the centering.

great Sepia Wagner!!

I picked this up last night and no concern over being graded in correctly.

Scott, I'm loving your Tris Speaker back run! IMHO, non-T206 back runs are just as cool as T206 back runs - dare I say it, perhaps even cooler! :)

Congrats and great postcard Ben. One of my favorites of Wagner

Thanks Val! I definitely agree with you, but comments like that will get you in trouble around here! :)

I love this! The colors are terrific - and the player wasn't too shabby. :)

If I am ever lucky enough to score an orange E94 I will probably start a back run.

Great card.

Wow, there are some amazing cards in this thread! Congrats to all!
I'm pretty jazzed about my latest addition, which arrived 10 minutes ago:

Love seeing everyone’s pick-ups, but these threads always make me want to start one too many new sets :(

Garth, nice Speaker. :)

Heritage pick-ups. A brown old mill, two brown Lenox, a tough tinker AB 460, which completes a back run (see link below), and a yellow chance for a potentially new bank run

Huge pickups congrats. The rare backs were mostly way out of my league. I was happy just picking up a few postcards that don’t come up that often.

Those cards above are awesome thread killers as they have almost no equals. :) and are off the charts!! Even the more mundane (kind of like me) are great cards. Congrats to all and thanks for sharing!!

The proverbial, buy the card.

wowsers... nice pickup Leon

Ryan, just another incredible month for you, congratulations

Leon, that is the best 1.5 Cobb around, enjoy it

Awesome leon!

Very happy to add this tough Wheat to my Louisiana collection. Thanks Brian.

Although this pick up goes back a few months, I haven't posted it yet. One of two known. My Holy Grail.

Whoa! Gary, that is awesome! Major congrats!

Incredible Gary. Doesn't get better than that.

Great, great image! Congrats Gary!

Really, really, really amazing pick-ups this month everyone. Congrats! Let’s hope August is as as fruitful.

Really happy to add this one to my collection. Thanks, Kris!

Fantastic Gary, what a center piece!

That's a sweet Plank for the grade

Ryan, outstanding.

Garth, nice Speaker AB.

Have to agree with everyone, some :eek::eek::eek::eek: cards this month !!!!


.............. I just like Hindu .............. :);)

Fun stuff, Scott :rolleyes:

Wasn't expecting to pick up a HOFer, but what the heck, you don't get a VE everyday, at least I have no doubt that it is altered.

Awesome VE, DJ. You’re right, can’t be picky with those!

Picked these up for my Hal Chase collection in early July, and they just came back from SGC this week. Thanks again, Ed! https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...b27d422c7d.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...29d1781e58.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...1c7eedbecd.jpg

LOVE the VE Tinker and T213-1 Chase!!!!!!

What an amazing month of fantastic cards!

:eek::eek::eek::eek:

HOLY SHIT DJ!! Major congrats. That is unreal

Thank you, Mike. Glad they've found a good home. That was a quick turnaround from SGC.

Happy to pickup the Hinchman from a fellow board member and add to PC collection and happy to have picked up the Boston Doves season pass (a little out of my collecting realm, but it was the Braves franchise so wanted to try and grab it).

Very nice!

Very cool Dave, one of my favorite ALPC poses with the shades. Campf liked that one a lot as well.

Was thinking about Campf recently. What ever happened to his collection?

Sold through REA over the last two auctions, not sure how much (if any) is still left to go.

A Red Sox Beer postcard :D

McLean LL P2 Pin
 

Picked up another P2 pin catcher.

Need just one more to complete the run!

Patrick

I hate the Red Sox, but that is awesome!

Thanks!!

All from board members - thanks Jay, Scott and Luke. The multi-strike is also a brown old mill

Bugsy, love the Sox and the postcard. Great piece sir !
