April pick ups thread

[Rhotchkiss]

Great Day at Chantilly -- traded a card a have long been looking to move for these three; particularly soooo psyched about the Wags Mello Mint, (although the E101 is likely worth more and Brunners aint half bad either). Please excuse the pictures, best I could do under the circumstances

Nice Ryan! That E105 is outstanding!

[charlietheexterminator]

Awesome job Ryan. I guess it was good bye Paige and hello to 3 beautiful Wagner’s. Love that Mello-Mint

[ValKehl]

Ryan, although all 3 cards are great pickups from the Chantilly Show (a little plug for Joe D., the Show promoter), it's the E105 that really, really excites me! I enjoyed meeting you and chatting with you at the Chantilly Show (if I do enough promoting, maybe Joe D. will give me a lifetime pass to the Chantilly Show!), and I look forward to the April 28th collector get together you have arranged.
Best,
Val

I'm likely in the minority but I like the 101 much better due to grade.

great cards...the e105 should be worth more than the e101 most days of the week!

[Rhotchkiss]

Thanks all. Chuck, you guessed it. Val, great meeting in person and looking forward to catching up on the 28th. I saw that E105 at Chantilly and decided I could not leave without it, but the seller did not take credit card, or PayPal and I had a cash offer on my Paige that was a tad below what I wanted - so, we pull a five-figure, 3 way deal at Chantilly involving a 48 leaf Paige, 3 Wagners and a boat load cash - best trade of the early baseball season.

Meanwhile, the Chantilly show remains an awesome event. Great people, great cards, and free entry for net54 members is the cherry on top. And Demaryius Thomas is signing autographs tmrw!

And, the REA guys were of course there - holy crap!! It’s not even fair. I have never ever ever seen so many unreal cards in one place at one time.

Heck of day. Great show all around.

Nice cards Ryan! Liking the mello mint! I picked up this Mello Mint late last month, but just got the Cobb today. It amazing how fast Goodwin delivered the card; the auction just ended.

W.W. "Billy" Donaldson autographed photograph -- first black umpire in a Negro League game in 1923.

That`s a really cool piece Jeff, always find items with some "history" of the game the most desired. Enjoy it sir.

[Rhotchkiss]

Very cool memorabilia/history, especially the negro league piece (very neat). Joshua, great E105- I remember that in eBay and was not surprised it was snapped up fast

Nice card Peter, favorite card from the n300 set along with the ED. Don't see those come around all that often.
