Great Ruth Dan!

Great card Dan!!

Great Ruth!

Happy belated Paul, good looking Cobby.

Very nice Ruth- congrats. Was the blue M116 part of that trade (bc that was a heck of a card as well)?

Nice pickup Dan!!!!! Looks great.

Actually it was sold on the board, but yes it was sacrificed for the Ruth :(

Awesome Dan, Congrats. It was worth the sacrifice....

Few "back upgrades"

Been on a Tolstoi kick recently ;)

Fun, fun, Scott :rolleyes:

CJ
 

1914 CJ Hofman Auto!!!

Did a pretty special trade deal with Chuck...he was wonderful to deal with.

Well done gentlemen - that is a very nice haul for a single trade. Congrats!

Thanks, Scott, for getting me started on a Merkle project!

Dan - great Ruth! I just picked up three of its less-impressive cousins at the Raleigh show this weekend. The dealer I bought them from mentioned that they were among a few dozen E121-80s in a recent "find," and that there was also a Ruth in the bunch that graded 1.5. I showed him a picture of yours, and he confirmed that was the one. I'm not sure if that's true or not, but I thought it might make sense given the similar residue on the backs of all the cards and the close cert numbers (he said they were sent to PSA in two batches).

I was also thrilled to pick up this D303 Bescher. Probably won't ever see another one at the Raleigh show.

Just picked up these three Cobb postcards; thanks to all of you who thought of me. The Wolverine is rare and even rarer for the grade; and I've never seen the other two postcards before including the Cuban card from the Tigers' 1910 tour of Cuba.

Thanks Dan! That is very interesting that they all came from the same find. Any ideas on what the staining source might have been? I had originally thought candy, but that seems a little less likely considering they all have similar staining issues. Regardless, great cards!

I assumed it was some sort of adhesive, since it's only on the sides. There are also some small spots of paper loss on mine in those areas. I will be freeing mine from their plastic tombs, so I'll let you know if I see/feel anything interesting once I get them out.

The seller has a few dozen more for sale on eBay from the same find. They all have the same staining. All were graded 1.5 - 2, and many have better eye appeal than the technical grade.

Beautiful Jeff...I'd surmise the other 2 are more rare than the wolverine?

Yes for sure.

I've never seen either outside these two examples. Congrats Jeff!

Cobb PCs
 

Wow! Those are stunning! Love the Cobb stealing PC!

Incredible Cobb’s Jeff. I had to do a double take five times.

Also great pick ups Mike (MVSNYC)

I'm late to this party, but congrats on the E121 Ruth Dan!! Even after a few years owning, the E121 Ruth is still my favorite card within my PC... and yours looks far better than the grade.

Thank you Ian!

Ho ho ho! Merry everyone!

A Christmas (Diamond) Star

Damn, Ben. Beautiful Cobb collection. The thing that always gets me about those portraits on those cards is how gentle and pleasant he appears. All I've ever read about him is what a vicious SOB he was, and how tough he played the game. Yet in all of those portraits, he appears to be so cherubic. Hahahaha

Loooove this pose, might be my favorite caramel card. Have the Nadja, E101, and VE already.

Nice Cobb Carl, it is special, it’s your 1st Cobb. Good Luck

I don't think anyone on this site thinks a centered t206 cobb isn't special. Especially your first Cobb. Congrats man. Great cards guys. Ben, that collection is looking nice!!!

1947 Bond Bread Jackie Robinson
 

Favorite team. Favorite player. Great story behind the issue. Only 27 graded across both TPGs. Best Christmas ever. Thank you, Karen (wifey) and Dan.

WOW. never seen the 1914 Scoops CJ before. Also, the House of David postcard is incredible. I'm so grateful for this forum and all the great curators of baseball history on it. Well done, Mr. Van Horn.

Sincerely,
Scott

Scott,

Thank you for the kind words.

Early photobomb:

Carl, nice Cobb. That's where it all starts...just one, then another, then the next thing you know life is all about Cobby. Enjoy your card.

The Holidays!!! Picked up a 1956 Topps .... BOB LEMON.

Thanks Orlando, Steve, and Chuck! I see so many incredible Cobbs posted on here so it's easy to lose sight of greatness by comparison. Thanks for the nice comments. I absolutely love the card and want to someday pair it with its green counterpart, so here is hoping I haven't totally been priced out of one.

Great card Scott! I miss it already :o

Awesome Shawkey Brian!

Few for Dec
 

Couple pickups for December

REA (I caved), and board members Andrew H, Bryan L, and Dave S respectively - many thanks!

Thank you, Duncan.
