Congrats Ed. I think I cost you a few bucks but that is a great card. They were always one of my faves in my collection.

That is fantastic. Getting this today has my hands shaking when I opened the box, so I know how you feel. It has been a long time since I added to my Harry Sutor run, and having Weaver in it is a bit of a bonus.

Whoa! Now that's a great pick-up!!! Congrats!

Thanks, guys. I'm still having to go look at it all the time to make sure it is really here. I can't believe I finally got one.

Picked up this Japanese menko card featuring Ruth and Gehrig. The photo is from a 1929 barnstorming tour so I'm guessing the card is from close to the same time. I don't know how many other cards feature both Ruth and Gehrig together so I had to have it:

Couple new additions to the T206 team set

Been outbid on 3 of these over the past couple months so I wasn't letting this one get away...

Been holding out for a lower grade PSA copy, but they never seem to show up on eBay (now they probably will) so I figured I'd snag this while it was 10% off, less than $35dlvd.

Nice find! The text on the back says "...he hit 60 home runs the year before last..." so that would definitely date the card to 1929.

Holy Smokes Ed, incredible card. I did not expect to see that in the pickups.

packs the image on your Cuban card is spectacular, thanks for sharing.

Very happy to win this w529-8 ifs sheet to match the second "yellow tint" version that I already have.

Thanks for the info! I figured it was too esoteric to pass up. It's hard to find a Ruth or Gehrig card that you haven't seen before.

Gary - I saw that one but didn't really know what it was. If I recall, the item description said W516-2 or something to that effect.

Very neat strip card sheet! Congrats on the pick-up!

Thanks, Derek! Yep, Heritage incorrectly described the item as a W516-2 sheet, which is funny because they also auctioned the other one as part of Leon's auction in 2015 with the correct set name.

Sick color on that one. Great card!

Thanks man. Someone wrote "1911 2nd B" very small on the back but otherwise very clean

Ah yes, the ultra rare T206 Ty Cobb 'black background'......I've only heard stories of said card.

Jobu 03-28-2017 08:10 PM
I don't know what PSA will tell you, but I kinda feel like this one is trimmed.

Ed - I don't frequent this site as much as I would like to, but I just ran across this thread and your pickups! 2 rare cards right there. Chattanooga boys!

Very nice -

I just picked up a treasure trove of 1940s Japanese cards pasted onto album pages here, including most of the big name hall of famers (Kawakami, Betto, Besho, Oshita, Starffin, etc) of the era.

29 cards for a total price of less than $50 US including shipping. This is what I love about collecting here: you can still find scarce vintage gems for extremely cheap prices here (granted they do have paste on their backs, but they are still beautiful). Similar MLB stuff would be out of my price range.

Put some more close up pics of individual cards here:

That Starffin 3rd prize card is nice. I recently picked that one up myself for my Starffin collection.

Speaking of Japanese cards & Starffin, picked up 2 of my grail cards in same week.
This is a circa 1950 Japanese bromide card of Victor Starffin with a nice blue fountain pen signature.

I will have to dig it out tomorrow but my T210 Miller is miscut nearly identical to yours.

This month will go down in the record book for me. I will not be buying any other cards for a while. Had to send off majority of cards to auction to afford this! Thanks to AJ this Ty found a nice home with Joe. Can't believe I picked up both of these in the same month. Now where is Christy? haha. Won't be able to afford that one any time soon.

DerekMichael 03-30-2017 07:51 PM
Oh my lord Doc. Those are epic Cracker Jacks'. Lock those up in a vault and do not ever let them go. Congratulations to you.

Nothing like following up a post that has a CJ Jackson AND CJ Cobb, with a post of a BEAUTIFUL King Kelly Old Judge. :cool:

Jobu 03-31-2017 01:01 PM
Great Kelly Chris!!

That one and the portrait that also sold are really incredible cards. Please post another scan when it is in the new holder - I would like to see it again and will take any excuse to do so!

ValKehl 04-02-2017 02:25 AM
Congrats, Chris! I don't recall ever seeing an OJ with a better image.
