Maybe a new baseball in a box? Doesn't look like his glove is on his hand so I'm thinking he's probably bringing them somewhere...he may even have to boxes in his hand as the one that is visible is sticking out pretty far in his hand...just my 2 cents...

It's been awhile since I have shown any pickups...here's a new Vander Meer Action and a '33 Goudey of Joe Sewell.
Thanks to Net54 BST

Thanks, Turner. Yeah, I'm really happy to land it. Just hope I can find the other three just as nice. Hope all is well with you!

Thanks Ralph ! (Yes, that is a baseball in a box in his left hand)

A big thanks to my friend Steve for making this one available and thus, I have completed my Boston A.L Ramly subset which also includes a TTT backer courtesy of Scott earlier in the year.

Derek:

Fantastic pick-ups on the Wilhelm & D. Williams Mejorals!

I have never seen them in person, are they actually premiums, cards, etc.?

[Vegas-guy]

This arrived today from a fellow board member..

Thanks Phil ! I was quite excited to get my hands on these!!

Each "card" is about 3"x2" and comes in a booklet that folds up accordian-style so that the front shows the "Mejoral" cover and the back has the "Dos Segundos" advertisement.

Below are more scans of the Mejoral Almendares booklet (w/ Dick Williams):

[Vintagecatcher]

I'm excited to have picked up these two Collier's Covers tonight on eBay.


Patrick

[atx840]

Reg, very nice AB!

This guy showed up tonight and completed my back run.

[Vegas-guy]

Thanks Chris.. That's great looking for a 1

I just picked up this beauty on ebay.. not a super "rare" back but it's good to have it on an HOF..

[bcbgcbrcb]

Very nice, Derek, thanks for posting the pics. I have never seen them before and always wondered what type of issue they were.

[usernamealreadytaken]

Merry Christmas to me!

[Robextend]

Upgrade for my Tolstoi collection

[bcbgcbrcb]

Rob:

That's a very nice "1"

[Robextend]

Thanks Phil! There is a bit of back damage, but at least the "Tolstoi" wording is not damaged.

[joeadcock]

Rob

keep up your pursuits on Goudey and Tolstoi. Good luck and Merry CHRISTmas.

[Runscott]

Congratulations to the board member who won this one:

PSA 8 Sovereign 350 Apple Green

[nebboy]

Just back from SGC - Thank you to a board member for the Wallace

[Wahoowa]

What's with the PSA flip on the O'Leary? I don't think I've ever seen "1909-1911" on a PSA T206. Was that added for a short period of time?

Flips are inconsistent - I was just noticing the Wallace no-cap, 1-line has that noted. Mine does not:

[Bunker]

My first T202

Agreed.

[sycks22]

T201 Cobb / Crawford PSA 6.5. Excited about the pick up.

[Jason]

Thanks to the board member who sold this for a great deal and being a pleasure to deal with.Got my Baker!

[Mikehealer]

I thought this Speaker was pretty cool.

[dog*dirt]

Great stuff everyone. Add a few more this month

[Brian Van Horn]

Thank You, Alan:

[bcbgcbrcb]

Nice Gordon Rookies, Brian.

[Steve D]

Thank you to Dan P for the Brouthers and O'Rourke:

I now have 7 Old Judge HOFers, and all the N28 HOFers except Anson.



Steve

[bcbgcbrcb]

Nice pick-ups, Steve.

[Matthew H]

I agree, nice pick-ups Steve. The O'Rourke is a beauty!

[Steve D]

Thanks guys

Yea, that O'Rourke really blows me away. Absolutely the only thing I can find "wrong" with it is the clip on the left edge. Other than that, it's untouched except for the rounded corners. It has some very minor creasing as well as what might be a faded pencil marking on the back.

All I can say is SGC killed it on the grade. Another example of BTCNTH!

Steve

[Brian Van Horn]

Thank You, Phil.

[sportscardpete]

Thanks Andrew for alerting me!
