Thanks, Phil! It's one of the reasons why I bought the card, it's aesthetically pleasing and I don't mind the creases, paper loss is my pet peeve. I guess it just depends on the card.

Jim, you are definitely one of the lucky ones.

I picked up a few new Cobb’s, plus a few others that I haven’t had the opportunity to snapshot yet.

There aren't many cards I would call "cute", but that little Cobb is one. haha

Beautiful card, Jeff. That's a really tough card.

KJ, nice Exhibits Ruth. Presents really well.

Not baseball I know but a couple of new arrivals today that I’m very excited about. At least the Abe Attell has a baseball connection.

Mail day. Super excited to pick up this early 1914 Zeenut w/coupon, and an upgrade on the super tough E98 Clarke/Green combo.

A F7 1937 Dixie Lids of Colorful Infield Star Charles Gehringer, part of a lot won in the recent Brockelman Auction. Missing most of the tab, because the kid was really hungry that day for a dainty cup packed with 3 ounces of ice cream.

Overcompensation for not buying a Cy Young portrait in the same state. Beautiful card and the causal eye so far has been impressed.

Couldn't resist these. Unfortunately the W554 Ruth has a lot of "Newton's Rings", hence the angle I took the picture at to avoid seeing them.

Feel like Ed Konetchy is one of the underrated players from the Cracker Jack era, and I like the image.

This image has always fascinated me, what's the deal with the guy in the background pulling off the Elaine from Seinfeld dance move?
Nice pick up btw.

My guess is the guy in the background was throwing/warming up, and his image was blurry. Someone in the production of this Ruth insert decided to eliminate the blur by drawing in the part of his uniform that was 'in-motion'. Quite creepy...they should have left that player's image blurry.

Maybe that dude was blurred into oblivion (new slang term) in later versions of this.

Looks like his shoes are on the wrong legs / feet.

I believe that pitcher was digitally added at some point. Doesn't look like a real person who was physically there.

Hahaha, good find. Not sure if the “artist” was just having some fun, or was just confused.

Agreed. Looks a little like Dutch Ruether.

As we know, it was not uncommon for pitchers to warmup in front of the dugout, and he may have been doing that when Ruth was asked to mug for the camera (note he is nowhere near the ondeck circle). Obviously the pitcher was not about to unload one into the back of the Babe's head, but it is not illogical to think that he was going through (threw) the motions. Still, as noted, his legs look kittywampus.

Knocked a big one off the DS list...I am hoping to finish it up by the spring assuming the high numbers come up. Very pleased with the grade. Have stopped kicking myself for all the time is passed on in for $100 or $200.

CardPadre 10-21-2022 05:59 PM

Had a few better-than-expected grades come in on some stuff I was looking to sell and found myself with the funds to obtain this guy, my first of the four ‘33 Goudeys.
