ahh the barely there sig, i thought the price was ok...and then u have to add into psa/dna fees. the comparables are probably fully legible playball sigs.

Nice pickup!

Sig looks waaaaaaay better in person, not even close really. $300 for a Foxx signed pre-war card, I'll take it any day of the week. And submission was $20 for get autograph authenticated. So around $50. Card had a nicer signature, well over $1k, but I'm never going to sell it.

Only pre-war signed Foxx card I'll ever be able to afford.

Thanks Matt! Super excited! Finally got a Foxx auto on a pre-war. No chance I'd be able to afford one on a '33 Goudey.

i didn't know they only charge $20 for a foxx sig, i will have to contact them about other similar sigs like speaker and lajoie.

if the card had a fully legible sig I would've bidded 1k since i collect foxx stuff. nice pu either way.

Don't go through PSA/DNA or you'd have to pay for a premium on signatures like that. If you go through PSA Card it's just $20 (you check a box on submission form). If it is on a card that is. I'm glad it didn't have a fully legible autograph because I wouldn't have been able to get it lol. Thanks!

Foxx through PSA/DNA would have been $75 alone. JSA $150.

Two new pickups...a beater Hughie, and another Dauvray for the "baseball-related" collection..

Picked this one up off of the B/S/T from Bill L, my first M116 Sporting Life. I fell in love with the blue Matty years ago and I hadn't gotten a chance at one in my price range!

I scored my very first 1912 Imperial C46

Anybody ever soaked a C46? To be honest, I missed the extra scans at the bottom of the listing. Doesn't matter, it'll work as my first, for less than $15

My First Home Run Baker
 

I just got this guy back in the mail. I'm pretty excited about my first Home Run Baker. Thanks for letting me share.

Attachment 68574

Very hard to come by ;)

Another new one for the "baseball related" collection.. Nora Bayes. Also, my first silk..

Not quite pre-war, but it is one of my few collecting focuses that are post-war.

Thanks to board member Phil on the deal!

Main or Mains?
 

Very very happy to pickup the 1919 Zeenut of Miles Main. I usually stay away from minor league cards but from what I understand this is his only baseball card... Now the question is, is it Miles Main or is it Miles Mains:confused:

Few T206's
 

Thanks to Luke for the Howard trade:

http://i332.photobucket.com/albums/m...Untitled-6.jpg

mike how do you do it?

My first one of Mr. Arky.

Argh, another T206 post - Willis with a slightly tougher SC42 back

Picked this E270 up recently, not explicitly identified on ebay as a Tin Top but I still had to pay up for it :) The player they intended to depict was Herbie Moran but they used an early image of Pat Moran for the photo (same image as his T204 Ramly card) ...

Thanks Matt!

So what's up with these exhibit cards...you'd think those machines would have been everywhere...but the dearth says otherwise?

T210 Series 8
 

Picked this up tonight with a Best Price offer. I have always wanted one, love the pose.

Nice Exhibit Peter!

Thank you Brian.

i've been on a T206 back tear...thanks to Jay Wolt, Brian @ Sterling, Shoeless Joe, Jim @ 707, Goodwin, and eBay...more to come soon.

Nice haul Michael!

Make it 290!
 

Thanks Andrew! Only ten away from 300... although with the new grading scale this might get a little tougher.

Thanks Matt

Nice group! You are moving right along.

Glad to have picked this up. Arrived yesterday.

Wm Paterson Hornsby
 

Nice Hornsby!

Great Hornsby card, never seen one of those before.

Thanks Phil.

also really like that Hornsby, great image.

Latest signed pre-war card
 

Very happy that a Net54 member reached out to me with this unbelievably rare and classy signed T205....

Mission accomplished
 

Just finished my 1924-25 Aguilitas Segundas set thanks to Jeff Mohler. I put out my request for the last two cards I needed a few days ago and Jeff responded within hours that he had both cards and was willing to trade them to me. He was extremely accomodating, we quickly reached a deal, and I got the cards yesterday. You simply could not find a better trading partner.

I can't say enough about how nice it was to deal with Jeff. He epitomizes BST class and helpfulness. Once again, thank you so much!!! Hopefully at some point I will be able to return the favor.

Kenny Cole

Was a good month for signed 33's for me. Just eclipsed 182!

Awesome
 

Kenny and Sean,
awesome cards, thanks for sharing. :)

Admittedly, I'm not that familiar with Cuban issues, but this sounds like a pretty serious accomplishment. Congratulations!

[and kudos to you, too, Mr. Mohler]

Regards,

Richard.

Holy crap Paul! Very nice! Congrats!!!

Foxx Slab
 

Alright, here's my Foxx in the slab, next post will be my insane purchase

Lou Gehrig autographed rookie card
 

Alright folks, the moment a lot of you have been waiting for and asking what my huge purchase was going to be. I kept it quiet to ensure that I got it, and boy did I ever get it. This was a once in a lifetime purchase for me, a Lou Gehrig autographed 1933 DeLong rookie card (yes I know all the banter for rookies, but if the 33 Goudey can be a rookie, why can't this. All that matters is I consider it one).

Never thought I would own a Gehrig signed card. He had a five year window to sign this, I consider this to be one of the rarest and most difficult signed cards of a HOF'er to obtain based on how difficult it would be to get him to sign this before his disease took his toll in '39 when he stopped signing.

I know autograph is faint, card is not in the best shape, but I don't give a damn, it's a Lou Gehrig autographed rookie card!!!

I hope you enjoy this as much as I do, so enjoy!

If only MY Yankee first baseman card was signed...
 

thanks to kllrbee for a smooth deal on this Sporting Life pastel Chase...

http://www.collectorfocus.com/images...ng-life-pastel

Matt that card is awesome, I love that M116 set, they seem to be very high grade.

Huge thanks to Pete for this one and a great start to my D322 journey! The Zeenut was also courtesy of Pete.

Nice eye appeal, little bit of paper loss on the back on the edge destroyed the grade. Still, you buy the card not the holder :)

Nice card. Not an easy card to find in decent shape, even without a signature. Congrats!

Goodwin pickups
 

happy with my night...and able to make it through a full day of work. It helps when you have a 4 month old that already keeps you up :)

Not exactly a card, but will be given similar treatment in my rookie collection..

OJ Pickup
 

Picked this R311 Glossy Finish up from eBay. Brings my baseball type set to 477 different types.

http://www.stevestypeset.com/CardImages/726-Front.jpg

Not your average 1922 Exhibit.

http://s107.photobucket.com/albums/m...ms/JoeWood.jpg


Picked up this W600 too. Great birthday.


http://s107.photobucket.com/albums/m...onlinW6001.jpg

I'm not really an autograph guy, but that Gehrig is pretty cool.

Congrats on a great pickup.

Doug

W600 Wagner
 

Found one I've been looking for recently...

Thanks Doug!

Pete, that's a great Wagner.

Also love the E107 Plank....and Waddell.

...and the Gehrig-signed Delong.

Nice grab Pete!

Wow, Pete. That's beautiful! Congrats! If you are looking for a quick flip, I'm your guy!

Pales compared to what's been shown lately, but the first 'edge-embossed' RPPC I've seen. I wish it were a baseball player, but unfortunately it's just an eccentric policeman with a huge billy club:

Arriving soon, from a board member:

New pickup off the bay. I'm not sure of the specific date. But between 1911 and 1915, when Tener was Governor. It's the medallion piece off of a National Guard Marksman(sharpshooter) award.

Thank You, Darrin:

Nice PC Scott F.
Also the Cobb(can never see enough Cobb cards)

I posted this one on the other side, but wanted to show it off here as well. Even though the Cravats are ugly as sin and most people wouldn't consider them to be a "baseball card," they are probably my all-time favorite issue. They are pretty scarce too. A few years can go by without seeing one, so I am really happy to add another one to the collection. Thanks again, Dan!
