Quick OT: Leach Cross fought under that assumed name so his family and friends didn't know he was engaged in such a sport. Also interesting is the Bio. on the back of T218, were most of his fights were 5-15 rounds. On the East Coast (mainly NY and PA), fights had round limits, probably to appease the "anti-fighting" crowd. California (Colma), however, was wide open, no limits (but, I believe, around this time, set a limit of 45). There is a classic (imo) photo of "Fighting" Dick Hyland standing over the downed Cross. Cross looks exactly like he does in the cards shown above (even down to the perfect hair part), except he is horizontal !!!

Gott'a love that they misspelled Pugilist on the T226 !!!!!!!!!

Knight miscut in hand...Scans don't do it justice.

It's one of the best quality miscuts out there. Glad to have it back.

I have to stop looking at it, I'm afraid I might drool on it. Sweet!

Purchased the card from a board member knowing it was trimmed, the overall eye appeal won me over. This card is one of my favorites in the T206 set.

Default Great pickups everyone!

It's always great seeing (drooling over) everyone's monthly pickups. This month did not disappoint. I had a month of firsts and very happy about it!

I finally got a Demmitt I could afford




My first Ruth



My first Gehrig



I've fallen for the Kashin set, love that many of the photos were from Conlon. I think they are underrated and so many legends in the set. Time to add another set to my list...

Nice pick up on that Demmitt! Alas I am afraid that Demmitt & Ohara are two cards I won't be able to obtain to complete my T206 Cardinals & Browns team sets.

Thanks Scott, it is always exciting to land one of the big cards, no matter the condition. Never say never, you just have to get creative. PayPal Credit allowed me to grab the Demmit. 6 months no interest, I pay just a little over a $125 a month and it makes it much easier. I picked up my O'hara from a board member who was incredibly generous in setting up a payment plan. You never know, be patient and something might just fall in your lap.

Justin,

Just an update. I hope your winning lot was undergraded. I was happy to find that when the McGraw arrived there wasn't a little white spot on the left side of the card on his face, so I photoshopped the card to reflect what the card is that I received. I was too lazy to try with my supposed "smart" phone. Before and after:

Default A couple of upgrades

Thrilled to add another Lionel Carter Collection card to my collection, a really nice Ivey Wingo T207, and I also upgraded my Mickey LaLonge 1909 Obak. This example is my 2nd "no frame" back.

Brian, nice pickup on the Mall Theatre. My $307.77 eBay bid with about 7 seconds remaining didn't register, as higher bids were placed a second or two earlier (I don't use a sniping service). Oh well, just another card you have that I covet!

The death of my scanner has left me heartbroken as I look for something decent that scans graded cards. I am now left with an annoying HP that makes my graded cards look like I scanned through a tub of Vaseline. So anything graded gets the Iphone treatment...sorry guys.

Here's 3 T206 I could not live without this month.

One off my big dogs list (which really looks great...not even a micro-crease I can find. This one is getting broke out in hopes of a slight upgrade) and 2 for my printing collection (both Pied if you are wondering). I wish I could get a nice scan of the Hoffman because the color shift looks like a purposeful artist shadow. It's darn pretty...
