Technically got them in hand this month -- just wanted to post them with better photos. Added the BL, CB, Hindu, and Young recently as well.

Great cards Josh! Congrats on the pickups! We still need to grab lunch or beers sometime!

Bill

I got this card in the mail today. It has great color and eye appeal in hand.

Congrats Ben. Great eye appeal for sure! IMO it's one of the most beautiful cards in the set.

A few steps closer in my quest to finish the T3 set this week.

Very very nice Chad

Thanks Jeff, I appreciate it. Thanks to Tony @ TonyeTrade, where all of these latest Turkey Reds came from. Fair prices, quick delivery, clear scans & cards arrive exactly as shown. IMO, he's among the very best online dealers. That being said, don't go there looking for T3s, I don't need the competition! ;)

Picked this up to finish my T200 Fatima set

Congrats Jay on the pick up and finishing your set.

What set are you after next?

Tony @TonyeTrade has some real nice stuff and would not mind having some of those as part of my collection (long turn)
As for competition I am currently not a SET collector but a specific card collector so I am not a competitor of yours.

Thanks, Jeff. Always a great feeling to complete something.

A lot of sets in progress already including T202, T205, 1927 Exhibits and 1934 Goudeys pre-war. I'm also working on a number of post-war sets including Leafs (down to Doby, Newhouser and Paige so may not make any progress for a while), 1951 Topps All-Stars, 1953 Canadian Exhibits (just need green tint Easter and Raschi and red tint Lowery for the master set) and 1971 Topps Greatest Moments (need Perez, Bench and Murcer). Also, I just picked up large lots of lower grade 1961 and 1963 Post sets so I'll be looking to fill those in as well.

I bought a decent amount of T3s from TonyeTrade as well. I don't know where he keeps finding them, but he always seems to have a good selection available.

Congrats on finishing the set Jay!

Some really nice stuff so far this month, guys. Jim, those transfers are amazing; I have a few cards with them 'stuck' on the backs but I do not recall seeing the actual transfers themselves. I wonder if they were the same mfg as this set:

Meantime, here's a fun one. As some know I am obsessed (in a good way) with some of the clothing-related issues, especially Adam Hats premiums and Billy Taub premiums, postcards and signs. I haven't found an Adam Hats this year but I did find a new Taub piece:

https://photos.imageevent.com/exhibi...20sign%201.JPG

It is about 13" wide and 10" tall, on thick cardboard with an easel back, and was meant to stand up on the counter. Ruth, DiMaggio (2x), Dean, Terry, Lazzeri, Dickey, Crosetti, even a Jimmy Braddock. I had not seen this one before until it popped up on eBay but I had seen some of the images. The Ruth, for example, is from a 1932 sports dinner piece that can be found as a giant wall sign or a postcard.

This one is from a while ago but seems appropriate:

Prewar Ruth premiums: I cannot have too many...

though not a card
 

town in IA Billy Sunday and Cap Anson were born. Wife upon hearing reason for the pickup: you're going to that level now?!

My monster pick up of the month. Working on his last two Goudeys and e121 series of 120s now.

Congrats Josh.

That is a great Ruth Card and great eye appeal

Thanks a million. You’ve got a incredible collection.

very nice., Congrats....

Thanks Leon. I just missed your Goudey Green as I was waiting on a payment for another card. Bummer.

Picked up this cool remnants of name on top O’Hara

Hi Adam, I was the one who sold Jim those transfer stamps, and they do belong to the same set as the boxing stamps with Jack Dempsey that you are showing. I originally had a few of those same boxing stamps also (which I sold already sold) when I bought the lot a few years ago.

Saw this. Wasn’t in my usual low budget, but couldn’t avoid the coolness. Eddie Collins T205 entombed in a vintage paperweight . ⚾️

That is super cool.

I like this one...just in hand

Congrats Leon- That is as good as it gets for a T206. True original.

Congrats Leon, love the fat borders.

Josh, congrats on the Babe. Big card there my friend!

Leon, that fat bordered T206 fits your collection well.

Nice O'hara and Bl350. Lots of great additions this month, gang. Speaker takes me to 66/70.

Great Ruth, Wajo and Speaker

Another brown old mill. I thought the prices last night were nuts. Maybe a bit scary.

Speaker
 

Nice Speaker Rob...Jerry

Thanks, Ryan and Jerry. Nice Brown Old Mill.

I had a few deals on my bidder card that I let go as the T213 Speaker lot was the last lot on my list to close.

I saw some big prices on the headliners, but I thought the Wright Old Judge had a clear picture and sold for a fair price. I thought the T213-1 Cobb went fairly cheap compared to what Red Cobbs go for now. I was the underbidder on the e105 Devlin, which went for under $400 and is sort of a tough card for that set.

Ryan, awesome Brown OM!

Leon, really great WaJo.

Saw the Johnson portrait with those fat borders before I saw who posted it and knew who it was. I scrolled up a bit to confirm and yup it was Leon. Great card Leon.

Wow some very nice cards this month.
Also so very rare and unique cards
Also rare Ad Back.

Great Stuff with several auctions to go

Big fan of the back as I’m from Rochester.

Local card shop pickup (T206 Bender-no trees w/ Tolstoi Back). Was surprised to see a T206 in the case & even more so with the tougher back...

O/T pickup, here is a recent Non-Sports pickup (in video form, which is a bit long but a great mix of stuff from Tom's somewhat recent auction--worth the watch if you have the time):

Fun, fun, Scott :rolleyes:

It had to go to you Ryan. Nice pick up.
.

Wowzers

great eye appeal on this one.

After putting it off for way too many years, I finally decided to pick up a Cobb to finish off my E93 set.

https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...abca4afa_b.jpghttps://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...37ce492c_b.jpg

Congrats on the finish, DJ....

Congratulations DJ!

Wow, haven't seen a full set in one image. Congrats :eek:

Don't forget to update your signature!

E93 is such a great set. Congrats DJ on picking up the Cobb to finish it off. It looks great all together in one shot like that too.
