Great rookie Cobb Troy! High grade for the issue to. I think the value in those will continue to rise in the near future.

Troy, that is in great shape man. Excellent choice.

Thanks, Orlando!!!

Thanks Jason
 

Thanks Jason.

The wait for a presentable Ade Thoss took a few years.

Click on the link in my initial post to see all of the subset.

Thanks Orlando and Jay
 

And it only took me 4 years to find it, woohoo!!! At this rate I will have my rookie prewar collection done just before my 200th birthday, then its time to party, lol

Troy

Your patience paid off. It is one of the nicest examples I have ever seen. Mine is a PSA 5, and yours is far nicer than the .5 would indicate.

Good looking card for a "2" IMO

Nice pickup. I think you can get some of the best value with undergraded 2s.

T210 Subset complete
 

Jason,

Here are the "catcher wearing chest protectors" in the T210 Old Mill set.

Now I need to start another T210 project. Perhaps one cool catcher from each of the 8 series.

Patrick

Really fantastic looking subset Patrick. Mine lacks the Dudley for completion. Yes, another T210 project sounds like the perfect idea. Its just a great set to collect!

Young Portrait EPDG
 

Received this Cy Young is a trade.

Mis-labeled as 1937. Upon closer inspection, it's actually the tougher brown tinted 1938.

Fantastic piece. 4 Indians greats right there!

Nice Cy. Even with the crease, it presents very well.

Congrats.

Duane Clark

Thanks!

Just got this beautiful rare Ruth Ross Verlag Postcard via trade with a board member! Excited to add this one to the collection!

Small mailday
 

Been after this Muddy Ruel for a while now for my Red Sox catcher PC....love the image! Didn't want to have to settle for an E120, I much prefer the E121 so I was glad when this one finally showed up on ebay. Thanks Rhett!

My Dudley T210 was purchased from you ...Jason!
 

Jason,

Ironically I purchased the Dudley T210 from you!

Patrick

Erick, that is Sweet! Never seen it.

Thanks man! Yea it's quite rare. This is the only SGC slabbed copy and PSA shows 2 total (authentic and grade 1), I've never seen one in a PSA holder so possibly could be same card resubmitted, but no idea.

It really is gorgeous in person. Ross Verlag made lots of high quality real photo postcards of actors and actresses of the day. This comes from the movie "Speedy", released in 1928 and features actor Harry Lloyd.

The same image is used on the much smaller Josetti card, but the clarity on this postcard is amazing!

T207 Livingston & Real Picture Postcard of catcher in full gear
 

Received these 2 items in the mail today.

Picked up a nice T207 Paddy Livingston (A on shirt) from PWCC at a great price.

Wanted this card because the "A" is much lighter than the other one I picked up last year. This one has a Recruit Factory 606 Dist MD back, whereas the original one had a nice Napoleon back. Now have 3 different backs with my 4 Paddy Livngston T207s.

Also picked up another RPPC of a catcher in full gear which reminds me of a T209-2 card.

Patrick

Great image on that postcard Patrick!

+1 -- I dig the fielding pose with the ball on the ground between his legs.

Nice PC Erick!

Thanks to a few fellow members here, was able to pick up these nice T205s for my Sox Collection!

another T205...

I posted this in a My First Ruth thread, but wanted to post it here as this premium held one of the top spots on my want list and I am still excited about it.

Very happy to add these to my set................... :)

They all are quite tough commons to find with non-Pied./SC backs ........ ;)

Fun, fun, Scott :rolleyes:

T206 double factory back
 

I just picked up this nice little SC 350-460 Overprint double factory back...

Thanks Bryan, and love that Pathe!

Great Hornsby! One of my favorites, tough card and really hard to find with decent centering.

Thanks! I've wanted to add a Hornsby to my collection for a while, and I like this image. The centering is really what caught my eye...

I know there was a diverse set of opinions on this card
 

But I sold some stocks because I thought the stock market was overvalued and figured if I had to ride the train down on something, i wanted it to be on something I wanted to buy before I died rather than on some index-linked ETF.

The yellow Ruth is the last expensive card I need in the set my dad got me interested in during the early 1990s.

Special thanks to this board. I would have never seen this auction without someone flagging it.

Great looking card and centering! Congrats on the purchase!

Wowsers! Nice! Someday, someday.....

Congrats! That crease looks much more pronounced in your photo than in the auction scan, but it's a killer card! Very nice indeed! And Andrew, very nice Hornsby. If I had to pick a Hornsby to own, it would be the one you have or his wildly over-priced 1917 E135 Collins McCarthy.

Congrats Scott! Card is a real beauty!

Congrats Scott!!! That is a special card that will always be among the elite cards in our hobby. You can't lay in bed at night and hold and stare at your stocks. Enjoy it.

I lay in bed looking at my stock portfolio all the time :o

Ha. When I tell my wife, this may be the only thing in bed to lay with. But seriously, I regretted not buying one a few years back, and I just felt like I was always going to make room to buy this card, so the sooner the better, I suppose. I wasn't that turned off by the rip on the back -- I never look at the back, you know? I mean, if I had $100k, I might think differently....but not at the moment.

Nice
 

Nice pickup on the Hornsby. National Caramel cards are almost never found with that type of centering/even cut. Here is what you normally find with E220 cards (I'm not joking).

Brian

Would love to pick up an E135 Hornsby someday, but yeah, big $$$! There is a nice PSA 3 in the current REA auction (already sitting at $6,500).

Thanks for the comment on the Hornsby. They are definitely tough, been looking for a decent Pennock for (literally) years...

I know they're just commons but these are the first pre-war/non-Topps cards I've picked up in a long time. Have been preoccupied with postwar set building.

I enjoy adding clean commons as much as big name players from any set and at a lot less money. Same history and many times a lot more interesting. (and you gotta love the nicknames!)

nice '41 Play Ball cards......
 

Those are very nice '41 PB's. I really like the vibrant colors of that set.

Been looking for one of these for my Chase/Highlander type set.

Im always looking for Series 2 SGC 60+ upgrades so im very happy with this one. And a Colt to boot. Thank you David.

Goudey Lajoie
 

Love that Lajoie! I assume you were referring to the 1933 set (and not 1934, which some people attribute it to). Either way -- amazing card, with great clarity!!!

Was happy to pick up SC 350/25 versions of these. These were harder to find than I expected compared to the 350/30s.
