Congrats on the PC796 set, David. I wonder how Sam Frock made it into that set as it is mostly made up of hofer's and well known stars. Frock seems to have had one full year as a pitcher with Toronto and Boston. Anyway, nice set.

Here are a couple more T213-2's from the Memphis Chicks..

Damn David that is one very cool Speaker PC! Love it

Great cards! I am incredibly jealous! haha

Thanks, yeah the T213-2 Memphis cards are hard to find, but they do show up at auction from time to time. I need these two towards the set. Rob

Best of luck with the set, Rob! If you happen to spot any more of them out in the wild or for some reason ever want to move those two, feel free to send me a message.

Pretty excited about this one. One of only 2 known with the coupon still attached...

Got some cards back from SGC. Always fun to see them again after a couple months.

Nice, Rhett! You beat me to it by a few hours!

Outstanding!

Picked this card up at a price I didn't think I could let go if I ever wanted to own this card. Does anyone know if a soaking of maybe 10 minutes or so may be able to lighten up the staining on the card? Or would there be too much risk that the front and back of the card could separate? Thanks!

I have never had the opportunity to post a high-end pickup in this section! Through a nice trade, I was able to acquire a Koufax signed auto-rookie, '34 Goudey Foxx, and Sporting Life Bender. Managed to get the Koufax off to PSA before the P.O. closed, all in the same day of receiving the card!
NJ :)

I wouldn't risk it Gary. It's fine! Congrats on owning it

Glad to finally get one of these. K, cool, good deal.

And this!

I fell asleep and missed out on this one...I'll loose more sleep now!

This completes my 1941 card tribute to Ted Williams:

I was eyeing that one too and it went for less than I expected. I blew my whole wad on this one earlier in the night so I couldn't bid on the Johnson.

A couple of cards that have been on the wantlist a long time -- YEARS in the case of the Exhibit.

Helping to ease the blow of a brutal Giants loss, added some Giants (have been wanting a playing era Stengel)... and an incognito E122 WaJo (PSA seems to make this error a lot).

my best pick-up in 3-1/2 years
 

This is my best pick-up in 3-1/2 years. It isn't vintage, but it's a nice pick-up nonetheless. I feel like I've been through back-to-back-to-back auction house all-nighters, but with 1000% more satisfaction!

I was finally able to complete a set by acquiring this rare, but perfectly centered Kayla Granger, adding this to my "Granger Baby" collection (complete set is hopefully limited to 2) after having previously attained the elusive Kyle Granger 3-1/2 years ago.

Best kind of pickup anyone could ask for. Congrats!

Congrats!!
 

Congrats Derek!!............Jerry

Ha! She's a keeper! No staining or off centering. perfect. congrats!

1/1? ;)

Congratulations!

Congrats! I hope you are not anti-soaking b/c that one is eventually going to need a bath!

Congratulations! :)

Congrats Derek, best feeling in the world!!

Now that`s a GEM Mint "10" right there !

My card buying has all but dried up since I finished most of the Dodgers sets I had been working on and sworn off almost all modern cards. Even the Butler collection has been gathering dust. I pick stuff up here and there for it, but just can't get all that excited about it anymore.

Today's mail changed that a little bit. Some of you may remember that I picked up a couple of Turkey Red cards at the last Chicago National from Mike Peich. I had no intention of grabbing any, but once I made the plunge I was hooked. Over the course of the next several months I picked up the rest of the Brooklyn set except one: George Bell. I had several friends keeping an eye out in Atlantic City for it, but they had no luck. I'dve also had the card on my daily search list for at least the last six months, but it remained elusive. That finally changed several days ago when one popped up on eBay. Ended up picking it up for just over the mb and $50 less than the budget I had set for the National.

Another Dodgers set falls. Guess I'll get serious about Red Man next.

That's so COOL.. congrats!!!

That will be me in April!!!

Plenty of staining on this one!! 🤔😋

Cute congrats Derek!:)

Congrats, Derek!

Remember to raise 'em all as lefties - converting those who need it.

Congrats to you! :)

Congratulations, Derek!

Congrats Derek!

Just got this printer's scrap Matty with big handcut borders to go along with the two Reds that I got a couple months back but just now getting around to scanning them.

Few recent pick ups for my Vintage RedSox collection!

Beautiful postcard Neal!

Still can't believe it!

Nice!

I was looking for a nicer 1932 Zeenut w/ Coupon (one of the keys to the set as well)...

Congrats Josh! I got mine several months ago and I still can't believe it either ... I hope that feeling lasts as long for you as it has for me!

Thanks!

I just feel like it's the perfect combo...

An iconic card in the hobby that is great to look at (minus the missing corner) of a player who is a great "investment" as well.

Very happy to have it!

................. never say never :)

Josh congrats on winning this card. I was bidding against you. I didn't expect it to go for so much but it's an extremely rare card and I would love to own one in any condition. I'm scared to buy any extremely expensive cards off ebay so my only hope is waiting till the National in Chicago next July or hopefully one will pop up in REA or Heritage. After getting burned a few times off ebay buying PSA and SGC cards with cracked holders that are reglued...I think I'm sticking to buying in person. I see so many cards on ebay that are trimmed and reglued shut in PSA and SGC holders. Personally I wouldn't buy any Sgc graded cards unless I bought them in person as their holders are extremely easy to Crack open and reseal. It's tough to tell thru scans online. In person it's more obviously.

It pisses me off that so many crooks are out there. it's running this hobby we all love. I wish Joe Orlando would open his eyes more and make the PSA holders thicker and more difficult to break into like Beckett holders. My idea would be to make the outside border a dark color like black that way if the holder was tampered with, the clouding around the edges would way more noticeable in scans and in person. What are your guys thoughts on this matter?

Great work so far. Keep it going. You never know what could happen.

Nice work Jeff! I have faith :D
