The Foster and Cicotte are amazing. Congrats guys!

This is a little bit of March stuff and some I got today. Strayed a bit from my usual focus to get these. I remember reading about Babe Adams as a young kid and when I started collecting T206 I was surprised when he didn't have one. I've wanted to pick up a few of his cards but never really made it a priority. These three kind of fell into my lap recently. Also had to snag the cool mis-cut Broad Leaf thanks to a buddy (the colors are insane in person) and Matty's toughest T205 back. And quite possibly my favorite T206 as well.

Awesome pick up’s Luke

That Matty T205 is sick!

Congrats! I believe you are correct about it being Foster’s earliest individual card. I probably should have gone one more bid, but I’m glad to see that it made it’s way into your very nice collection and that it’s in the Net54 family.

You out bid me on the Matty but I am glad to see you got it. That Quinn is sick. If either ever need a new home let me know

Great post Luke. They are all awesome but that BL 350 gets a :eek: from me.

Thank you Ronnie, Kenny, Luke, Derek, et. al.!!!

Love that Foster Ken, very nice.

Finished my set yesterday after basically 6 years of kicking the idea around and finally taking the plunge. Card 24 was from Kevin Struss in the Matty and then the WaJo yesterday in a nice person-person trade at a McDonalds that had a transistor blow up while we were there. Pretty stoked!

Here's the full set:

Wow, that is absolutely gorgeous. Nicely done!

What's the grade on that Matty???? It's freaking gorgeous! Congratulations man.

I absolutely love the "poster" you made. I am going to have to steal that idea, and maybe even take my cards to a printer to get it done right. Wow!! :eek:

Thanks Orly - Its a PSA 5, crisp, clean back and really centering and a clean front. Its my nicest 796.

Thanks and good luck. When I produced the CJ, T3, etc. poster I had a professional editor clean up my draft before print. Costs have gone up significant so be prepared to spend around $60 and do not take it to Kinkos, use a profession printing company.

Amazing, Steven!!

How SWEET it is!!

Back from PSA today
 

Received the others back in 2, 3, and a 6. But am happy to get these back as well.

Few back up grades ..... Extra thanks to Luke for the ABs in a cool trade .... :):cool:

Been hunting for Moran for awhile .... ;)

T201s
 

Not all April, March also. Having a great time working on this set.

Thanks Paul !!!
 

hi guys. i'm new here but have been reading and learning from all of you here for quite some time. paul convinced me to become active, so I decided to post a few of my april pick ups. bought these yesterday at the Bayou City show here in Houston. in addition, Paul was kind enough to sell me his 1911 M116 cy young (not pictured here since it's still in shipment....can't wait to get my hands on it!!!). thanks again for the gorgeous card, Paul.

Welcome! Nice looking cards!

+1

Slow going for me lately. That just makes me branch out. Added this as a companion to my Billy Nash N172 run from the LOTG auction.

Welcome aboard! Cy Young will be on his way tomorrow!!

Amazing card, Jason! Congrats!

Picked this one up on Jackie Robinson Day, fittingly.

I am addicted to cards, with a current particular addiction for Mr. Wagner

Crofts Cocoa Wagner
 

Nice one!!.........Jerry

That's beautiful - congrats!

beauty! there can't be many of those around?

Thank you. Yes, it is a rare combo. Dean H has a much prettier one than mine - I tried to get him to sell or trade it to me, but he is too smart and brilliantly decided it best to keep it (wise move)....

LOL....been there (to type cards)...great card. And a N354 leftover from my first collection. I always enjoyed this one.

Picked up the Brown Wheat Domino disc. I believe this completes my Wheat Domino run. The brown, blue, green, red big head and red small head.

Sweet Jackie!

Nice run of Wheat Domino Disks!! Very cool!

Hey thanks Ryan. I don't get accused of being smart very often. :D awesome card. Congrats again!!

Thanks Derek.

Sid Smith T210-8
 

Picked up this Series 8 Sid Smith T210 that arrived this morning.

Those borders are unreal!

from Scott Gross on ebay...along with Bliss off BST:

Thank You Scott

Nice card Patrick. I agree with Jason, really like the Fat Border T210's.

Batting coach has his work cut out for him on the bunting drills.

Edward Penfield Print
 

Picked up this Edward Penfield framed print.


Patrick

Penfield
 

That Penfield print is used for the cover of the Book of Baseball by Mcspadden and Patten.

Ryan, I think you have a problem and need help. The first step is to give away your collection so that you're not tempted to buy any more. I'll take it (them). You can thank me later.

I love watching this thread and Ryan's pickups. Awesome!
Here is my latest pickup. =D

Nice pick up. I was talking about an E93 Cobby today with another member...That really is a nice one for the series.

Thanks Leon!

36 down, 26 to go.

Thank you ebay...

Awesome Doug, rarely seen image.

Very nice pickup, Doug!

Card show
 

Hi, I attended a card show today in LaCrosse, WI. I picked up this Cobb card, but the best part of the show was watching my four grandsons. I gave them each some money, which didn't last very long, so I gave them a little more. They had a great time and the dealers treated the kids like royalty and gave them some nice discounts. The kids are ages 9, 9, 10, and 11.

It was an expensive day, but it was a day that I will never forget. :)

Rick

Rick, that is awesome story on your grandsons!... And the Cobb is nice too!:D

This is the future of card collecting. Awesome to see. When I take my kids dealers have usually always been great to them and given discounts and free stuff.

Rick,

That's awesome. Certainly the post of the day -- those smiles are all completely genuine!

'16 Zeenut - Newt Randall
Seems Fatty Arbuckle got a good gnaw on this one!

Rick: looking at those pictures brought back a lot of great memories. Great to see the kids involved in the hobby.

Having fun with Goudeys

5 years
 

Been collecting T206’s for 5 years and have never owned a Lenox. Then I bought 2 in back to back evenings this week. First one came last night.....

Funny how that works.

Gorgeous! I’ve been collecting T206s for 20 years and have never owned a Lenox.

Great cards this month, guys and girls. A late to the game, generic rppc added ...

Also the T51 Penn State baseball player cards (3 variants). Never thought to look into the original artwork, but immediately recognized that one from my favorite set.

https://dyn1.heritagestatic.com/lf?s...oduct.chain%5D
I grabbed this one from Heritage Auctions. Should have gone another increment on the Mantle Topps Bucks PSA 6. And it's funny, probably half the T51 cards in the auction lot were from my duplicates at one point. I'm now part of the supply chain... ;-)
