Greg, I agree...that is a beauty of a T3! Congrats on the pick up :)

Here's my latest T206's addition. I"m still not 100% sure about how I want to build my set. I'll never be able to afford those crazy rare backs, but I want some diversity. So, I plan on picking up Tolstoi's, EPDG's and AB's (although I don't have an AB yet) when I can:

Newest
 

My newest acquisition from board member clydewally. Always wanted this one, what a 'stache!

t206 is one great set but pretty much near impossible to complete haha thanks a lot Honus. But still a fun set so many different backs and fronts green red portraits and what not. Best of luck and great looking card

A Couple of Greenbergs
 

From the latest Small Traditions auction

now that's a 'stache!! Move aside Mr. Fingers!

Lot's of new cardboard for me this month...
 

Freed some funds this past month+ and put it right into cards (much more fun than an IRA contribution right??). Most were purchased in Nov, but many of these met me at home last night when I returned from a couple weeks on the road.

A pair of BST pick ups,
Thank you Richard for my first Big Ed:D, and thank you Peter for this nice, and now raw Cy (Sov back):D

The Weaver and Ott from LOTG (couldn't be happier with auction and quick shipment)

And from Ebay- R312 Joe D, finally got a Moe Berg, and E220 Collins

BTW.... I think Mr Tinker's hair part can now move to the back seat as well.

Beautiful pickups, Ian...love the Weaver and "Bid Ed", lol. You weren't messing about that part...that's brutal!

You should go away more often if you rake these type of cards as a result of it ;)

Beautiful cards, Ian. Congratulations! I especially like the DiMaggio.

You're going to make me want to PC Cocky Collins. I just know it. :D

This completes my run of T206 Cobbs. Thanks to Erick Summers on the BST.

Thanks guys

Mike- I only wish going away equaled cards! given I normally travel 50% or more during the year. I'm pretty fired up on the Weaver, low grade or not, it was a must have for this SFer. I really like the Big Ed too and it's probably my big pick up of the year, along with my Mays (another board purchase).

Bill- I really like that Joe D image too, so classic. That pick up was definitely in large part fueled by a recent R312 thread on the board. On the opposite end, I'm falling in love with those teens/20's B&W cards. Until maybe a year or two ago, I'd never considered them, but they've really really grown on me and are a nice counter balance to all those great colors in other sets.

Ian...nice month to say the least.

This isn't a card but my home made poster of all 180 of my CJs...

Very nice group of pick-ups, Ian.

Steven- that's awesome! The beauty of collecting a set w/ consistent sizes!! And all in their pure cardboard form!!

I'll be hard pressed to come up with a pretty exhibit for my HOF rookie collection that will be ever-growing and ever-morphing!

wow steven awsome !

Very nice poster Steven - what a great way to celebrate finishing that set!

Do you have one of the original Cracker Jack boxes or did you just get that picture from the internet?

Agreed

Thanks guys. I pulled it from the internet and stuck it in there to fill the extra space of 2 cards are kept the integrity of the dimensions pretty close. I'd love to find an original box!

Just received from the last Hake's. Portion of a 1935 Negro League Broadside, of the Chicago American Giants. Features HOFers Willie Wells, Bill Foster, Mule Suttles, and Turkey Stearnes. Normally, I don't collect anything that has been cut-out from a larger piece, but made an exception here. It's about the size of a cabinet or a large postcard. Pretty pleased!

My Love of the Game win:
 

Super excited to get my favorite E103. The color and overall eye appeal of this card is insane. The scan doesn't do it justice. I'm glad it has the spot of paper loss or it would've been way out of my budget.

I am fairly new to the boards and while I have collected baseball cards and memorabilia most of my life I have just recently started to enter into the pre-war arena, thought I would add a couple of my latest pick ups

Luke, great looking E103! I bid on it as well. I had to do a double take to find the paper loss. Excellent eye appeal.

Wow! That's awesome looking Steve. Will you keep them like that long term?

Thanks Luke! I've been impressed with a number of your recent pickups as well. Sweet collection.

Abe - nice Exhibits...and great scanner!

And as we know, the guy could really club them.

Ian - Its a poster, not the cards themselves...I definitely hope to keep it for a long time!

Nice Luke

From Love of the Game.

Just picked this up last night at the Philly Show. My first major pick-up at a show since the Gehrig Exhibit RC that I bought from Dave at Bagger's Sportscards at a Philly Show last year.

Nice one, Phil! :)

Got this Cobb from a board member. Couldn't be happier!

Nice Cobb Jerry. That's one I hope to land someday.

Beautiful Cobb Jerry!

That's a beauty Phil!

Phil, very nice imperial cabinet, great way to pick-up four HOFers with one purchase. Do you mind sharing who you purchased it from and any history you are aware of? Congrats.

Mike, beautiful Chance Rose Co :eek:

Thanks Chris.

Thanks Dean and Steven!

Sure, Joe. Bought the cabinet from Bryan Dec in Philly, very professional seller and great customer service as well.

Always happy to add another Gibson to my collection.

This one came from the most recent Collectible Classics auction. This was my first time bidding with them, and I have to say that I was quite happy with their customer service, their speed of shipping and how well protected everything was in the package.

Regards,

Richard.

Nice stuff on your Tolstoi quest.

I needed a small pre-war fix to last me until after the holidays:

Some great stuff coming here fellas.

Besides the obvious mislabeling by PSA, I'm quite pleased to have picked up this blank-backed missing color E92/E101
