March Pickups...

Orly,

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.

I don't get usually jealous when I see all the nice pickups - I'm happy with my collection and you can't have everything - but I'm going to make an exception for Ed's San Francisco team card. I am bright green.

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.

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:

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.

Beautiful card. Whoa.

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