Hey Pete,
That's a great Ruth. Presents outstanding for the grade!

Picked up one of my white whales
 

Psyched to add this williams 1939 premium to the collection!

Thanks Jim!

Very nice example of Teddy's rookie card. [ducks and exits the room]

gorgeous ROOKIE of Teddy Ballgame!!

A couple of Whitey Glazner items, a near mint-y looking RC of a borderline HOFer, a PB common, and a D type card, all for less than the snipe I set on the first item

great r303B williams!

Agreed...the horiz crease towards the bottom isnt terribly apparent!

Mislabeled:

Williams Rookie
 

David's Williams is an R303A...unless, of course, it's a V351 - which would REALLY be awesome...David?

Beautiful either way.

Shriners Pick-up
 

Picked up at the Greater Boston (Wilmington) Show last week. In the raw.

The Real Jimmy Stewart

..these two probably represent most of Monty Stratton's "cards" ; I may have the complete Monty Stratton Master Set without even knowing it because I also have his 1933-1935 Worch Cigar on Page 1 or 2 of the "Worch Cigar Project" thread a few lines down ..
The 1937 Team Issue Picture Pack has some staple holes and a scrapbook backside ; the Burke 4 x 6 is almost flawless --I'll post a scan of the reverse of that one in my next entry ; the Burke guys need all that stuff from back there

November Pickups
 

http://imagehost.vendio.com/a/204295...IMMONS_NEW.JPG

..a 1934 Gold Medal Al Simmons ( finally , after 11 years of searches ) ,a 1939 Canadian V351 ( like USA R303A ) Flea Clifton (an upgrade ; the one I have is off-centered ) , an AZO postcard RPPC of a well-equipped catcher , looks turn of the century , and then the reverse of the Burke 4 X 6 Monty Stratton....can anyone familiar with equipment hone in on which years that older-feller catcher might be from ? The back is clean and unused , no ID at all , and I can't find a Studio logo anywhere on the front .

..

Congrats, nice card. You need to share this with John Dreker!

Finally got one on my longtime wish list, one of greatest images of anyone, and a good version, methinks. http://www.net54baseball.com/attachm...1&d=1510298709

Congrats! I was the under-bidder.

................ a few "back upgrades" ............ :)

Especially like the Tolstoi Delehanty

Fun stuff, Scott :rolleyes:

That 70s Card . . .
 

Doubled-Down this Month
I recently just added a SGC 40/3 of the same card.

Beautiful copy of a very scarce pose. I find the card’s background very interesting. 1887 Boston players (and all other NL teams except New York) were photographed by Gray Studios. The backgrounds that Gray used we’re pretty consistent. However, off the top of my head I don’t remember another card with this background. Also, number “0440” was a relatively late addition to the “0” number series. Something unusual took place with this pose; I need to spend some time thinking about what was going on. Anyway, congratulations—great pickup.

.

16 HR and 81 SO as a rookie in 1889. He was the Aaron Judge of the American Association.

Card in hand, now I can finally post this. I badly needed this back for my Evers back run, and its one hell of a tough card. Bryan thank you! Bryan (Jobu) and I met up in DC last night to make the swap, and it was great to meet, in person, a guy I have emailed and texted with for over a year but never actually spoken to. Maybe i will meet more Net54 peeps at Philly or Chantilly.

As an aside, with this T213-1 in hand -- first I have ever owned, I dont see how this is not a T206!

crack that evers out of its tomb...caress the card stock...see if you still feel the same!

Yea, I never held one and I understand they are much thinner. But by looks alone, t213-1 looks like a t206 all the away around

Evers
 

Nice pickup, Ryan. What's needed for your yellow sky back run now?

totally agree!

Hey Tony. I don't have much left, "only" the Drum, BL 460, and a Sov 350; you know, the easy ones. And I wouldn't mind a t213-3 and a -3 overprint, bc those are common....! My gut is aside from the Sov 350, my back run will remain with a few holes and I doubt I will ever fill all of them.

holy cow!!! beautiful!

Nice pickups, David!

Beautiful cards David. Such amazing condition.

Dave, those are some exciting cards! Is this another Dave Levin find? Any history you can share, perhaps a west coast collection? Was it strictly GQ or some others as well. Are they on the market?

Congrats!

Looks like the Jake Kilrain is a new find.

Wow, love those David; especially the boxers! Are these all new to the hobby?

Picked up a few low graders

Did you type this nonchalantly with a straight face?

"Just a couple low graders, no big deal."

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

Mexican set
 

Got this incredibly scarce Mexican set (you can see my other post about the Lazaro Salazar card), but the "key" cards to the set are the DiHigo and the Dandridge. Also has the only card that I know of for Bill Wright who is certainly near HOF caliber and someday could be enshrined... and some other stars like Ramon Bragana...

1924 Vernon Tigers.
 

1924 Vernon Tigers, Washington Park, Los Angeles. Truck Hannah and Charles Fulton.

super cool pickup

Love these...

albeit, it's not prewar, but pretty happy with this pick up. There is a very light spider wrinkle which shows when you tilt the card, so the technical grade is probably accurate, but it's a blazer for a 2. Since I paid only about what an average 2 would go for, I was pretty happy.

Those are sweet. Are the from PWCC? I missed the end of that auction because I was out with my family. They are really nice.
