Amazing card! Would look great in a black-bordered SGC holder.

He sure does -- that is a simply awesome pickup!
I love the period writing on the back.

Congrats -- now you have 11 1/2 months to figure out how to top that

Cheers,

Richard.

Shouldn't you have said "I'm Dunn for the night, I need to take my Heine down the Hall, man, and get to bed"?

White Sox vs Giants 1913 World Tour at Washington Park, Los Angeles.

[BeanTown]

This game was made up because of thefamous bonehead play of Merkle a week earlier. Im not normally a stadium PC collector, but after reading the wright up from REA on it from years earlier... I just had to have it. This copy has a Robert Reis and Co advertisement on the back and has their name on the front of the card unlike the one that sold in REA pls its postally used which validates it more IMO

Excellent postcard. I've never seen this one before.

Hey Brian, I'll "see" your Gassler's Bread pickups and "raise" you this Gassler's HOFer! Now then, about that W504 card of Sam Rice that you surely want to sell/trade me ...!!!

There is an interesting story about this Gassler's card I just received in today's mail for my Sam Rice collection. Last February, I learned that Gasoline Alley Antiques of Seattle, WA, had several Gassler's Bread cards for sale, including a Sam Rice. I contacted them, we agreed a price, and I sent my payment. A few weeks later, Gasoline Alley refunded my payment with the explanation that they cannot find their Gassler's cards - the last time they saw them was when they did a show some weeks earlier - they further explained that if I saw how disorganized their inventory of antiques and collectibles was, I would understand why they couldn't locate the cards - the proprietor promised to let me know when they eventually found the cards, but he did not want to hold my payment indefinitely. Since then, I contacted Gasoline Alley once, during the summer - no luck - they still hadn't found their Gassler's cards. As weeks turned into months, I pretty much lost hope for ever obtaining this card. Then, on December 24th, when I checked my new emails, I had one from Gasoline Alley that reads "Hello Val and Merry Christmas! While cleaning up for our annual Christmas party we found the box with the missing Gassler's Bread cards. We do have the RICE card. We can still honor your offer of $xxx including the insured shipping."

A few tougher to find Old Judges
1.) Blair w/ Hamilton (International League)
2.) Dalrymple w/ Denver
3.) Dolan w/ Denver
4.) Henderson (non-Brooklyn/outdoor Henderson's seem to be much tougher)

Good to see ethics out there and "my word" still sticks.

So this weekend went pretty well I scored one for my 34 Goudey set and then late night at LOTG I picked up my first T213 Coupon. I'm happy with both purchases. May have to slow down a bit though spending money left and right. Haha

[MikeGarcia]

...They get the flip wrong or incomplete about 20-30 % of the time , no matter what you print , in large letters , with exclamation points , on the submission form.....they got the year right though . And it is a Goudey Premium .

...And despite the tiny script in the font on the facsimile signature , it is one of the '' Wide Pens ''...So my Willis Hudlin Master Set is one card closer to completion....

..

[MikeGarcia]

....there's slightly wrong , and then there's really really wrong and then there's " WHAT THE HELL IS THIS ?? ".........but on the bright side , they '' Fix It For Free "....and so my stack of Joe O. Vouchers grows yet higher. I am a patient man...

A recent ebay BIN purchase:

[GregMitch34]

Got this cabinet of boy last night in auction, low price, wonder what anyone thinks of it. Love the mitt attached to belt and general clarity. Maybe appeals to me extra as I wrote a well-known book about coaching my son in Little League.

http://www.net54baseball.com/attachm...1&d=1421616892

[RobbyJG93]

Finally got the signature on the DiMaggio authenticated. It was looming over my head for a long time. You guys have any idea what this might be worth? Just curious.

Nice haul Rhett!, your eye for seeking out tougher items across so many different card sets/issues is impressive. There are certainly tougher OJs, but you don't see these everyday.
