1903 Stanford Lithograph
 

1903 Stanford Lithograph for 1903 Sunset poster

A few over the past month or so.. switching the approach a bit to get rid of some "non-core" cards to focus on the core. Love interacting with other members to hear their strategies on collecting. I feel most collectors go through cycles on collecting, from "I hate collecting I am done" to "I want to buy everything". I am probably leaning to the latter right now, but ask me again in a few months!

Great, Scott :rolleyes:

Hey Pete,
I love the Cobb. Great looking card for the grade, congrats!

Packs, congrats on the Mack OJ, they don't surface very frequently.

Was very pleased to pick up another Lenox! From my local card shop of all places. I have lived here for 8 years and only been in the shop once. I walked in and asked if they had any t206. They didn’t and I left. That was several years ago.

A few weeks back I got the idea to take my youngest son (6 this week) to get his first baseball cards. We each picked out a hobby box. I don’t buy modern cards but it was fun so we continued to do so. Put together my son’s first baseball card set in a binder. After getting to know the owner and letting him know I collect t206 he showed me the one and only t206 he had.

Didn’t really need the card but couldn’t pass it up

Nice cards Pete. Travis, congrats on the Lenox.

Damn that's a hot card

Thank you, Brian.

Thanks Mike!

Picked up this tough N228-5 Kinney card of the baseball 'player.'

Finally the Cobb Fielding
 

Thanks to one of our fellow Net54s to help me get this one!

Sweet pc Brian! Congrats!

Joe Dunn T210-8 Old Mill Cigarettes
 

Thrilled to have picked up this tough Joe Dunn T210-8 Old Mill Cigarettes card from
Justin @ Burls Sports!

Thanks Justin!

Patrick

Nice Dunn Patrick. Justin has some great cards available!

Thanks Jason!
 

Nice to see so many T210-8s at once.

Now all I need is to find a T211 Red Sun Dunn for a type card!

Patrick

Mr Daniels - there and back again.
 

Here's one that has bounced around for while. I'm pretty sure that some of you have been caretaker, and some - including myself in that list - more than once.

He's been away for more than 5 years, but will settle in for a while once he arrives. Thanks for providing him with an extended stay Brian!

E90-1
 

I was finally able to pick up a nice copy of a card that I've wanted for a while...


https://www.collectorfocus.com/image...us/63342/e90-1

Very nice - the colors on some of the E-90s are outstanding.

Not in-hand, but paid for, and I am too excited to wait. So posting it now. Bucket-list item, check...

And Brian, great Cobb PC. Congrats

DAMN!!!! Nice one Ryan! Big congrats!

Wowzers ... that's so nice ... shame it's such a small pic.
Congrats!

Ryan, Awesome Matty, Congratulations 🍾

Nice, Ryan!

Mattty CJ
 

Killer card Ryan. Iconic to say the least and the "Best of the Best"! My sincere Congrats buddy!


Regards,
Joe T.

WaJo added to my PC796 collection. Thanks to Brockelman for this one.

Wow Ryan!!! Yuuuuuge. Go big or go home. Congrats!!!

Brian - Nice WaJo. Well done. You're amassing a very nice PC collection.

Thanks All. I agree with Dean (great look Young Portrait with the rarer back BTW), Brian is rather quickly assembling a serious, heavyweight PC collection.

Slugging through Series 8 in T210
 

Trying to complete the REAL "Monster", the T210 set. The Series 8 cards are nightmares to find but I now have about 75% of the Series (no Joe Jax) and still searching. Grabbed these 5 on eBay last night which helps.

T3 Bill Bergen Turkey Red
 

Excited to finally find a presentable Bill Bergen T3 Turkey Red.

Patrick

Picked up a couple more E90-1s from Scott's recent auction.


.

Ryan, as I told you the other day, amazing pick up! Congrats.

When you post pics on your iPhone, there's a way to do it larger, I forget how tho.

Here ya go...

Dietsche Fielding #2
 

Well.... I am not keeping 2 Cobb Fieldings, but after picking up the SGC a great opportunity came along to get a nicer one...when it rains it pours...so I pulled the trigger and this one will remain in my collection with the SGC going off to an auction house.

1936 Wheaties Hartnett
 

Haven't picked up anything for my collection in quite some time, but I just couldn't pass up this 1936 Wheaties Gabby Hartnett Series 3. Has a crease going up left side in the blue in the border, but it is the first one with the full border I've been able to find and presents nicely.

Ryan, fantastic Mathewson; Brian same with that Cobb fielding.

Bob
 

Nice going Bob.......Jerry

Just a tad beat up, but still a little progress on my set. #46/57

Nadja McGraw
 

Nice DJ...is that 1 of 2 or 3 known??

Hey Jerry, I can account for 4 more McGraws in addition to this one.

SGC 60 - #1 SGC registry set
SGC 60 - #2 SGC registry set
SGC 60 (used to be SGC 50) - previously sold by Brockelman, then H&S, currently for sale by tonytrade
PSA 1 - your old one, last I know was owned by a board member

More than I thought...thanks......Jerry

T206 Titus Trimmed
 

A recent return from PSA. The mustached one himself. Happy to have it back in-hand. They somehow missed the trimmed border at the bottom when grading it a 1.5.

https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-CGwTs6sEg...BPSA%2B1.5.jpg

Wow! That is a very egregious trim on the bottom. Once again, PSA proves their expertise and justifies the silly premiums their cards get over SGC (and BVG).

+1

Yep
 

Amen. That's an awful miss.

Thanks for sharing!!
 

So neat to see everyone so fired up here. Some of those pick ups are divine. It was a slow month here but there was a small addition. Couldn't resist plucking a couple things from the estate of George Scott. Here are images of his lifetime pass and the first pro contract as an 18-year old.

Some years ago I finally put aside the excuses and built a site about my collection. It has a page for every HoFer and a couple hundred other baseball figures. It's called CooperstownExpert.com. If you have a favorite guy, or too much time on your hands, check it out.

Thanks for sharing your pick ups!!

Recently back from PSA on the left and recent auction win on the right :)
