Sooooo psyched to add my newest card. A real toughie. Hi Bell died in 1949, so only a 15yr window to sign the card. Now at 81/96

May Pickups
 

Picked the yellow one from up from recent PWCC to compliment my earlier red purchase this month. Got the Ruth bug!!

Very nice, they go well together.

Picked up this Zach Wheat Old Mill T206. Still looking for a Red Hindu Wheat also.

Happy winning the lot of 85 E90-1 in Heritage last night.

Of course, mainly going to be dupes (maybe some upgrades) .....

.... However, added 8, to bring total to 111 :) Including the semi tough Buster Brown, and Dougherty. As well as the "image tough" Dots "Big Glove / Hit it to my Right" Miller......


.............. BUT .................. THIS IS THE BIG ONE:

Tough, tough, tough, tough card. I mean tough. ;)

When I get it in hand, be interesting what's up with "Pitts" printing,

Fun stuff, Scott

BTW, tough card :rolleyes:

upgraded my Ruth pose exhibit. Maybe Ruths best image on a card...

Very happy to pick this one up, especially at the price......a card I've been really wanting for a while.

Will also have a new stack of EPDGs that I will have to sort through. ;)

Attachment 231039

A couple of Mickeys.

That's a real nice looking card. Some lower grade (but nice looking) E107's went for big bucks last night on Heritage.

.

It's great to only wait until 11:30pm to find out you won a lot! Thought it went for a good price too. Excited!

great ruths...love the exhibit...the gehrig and that crofts crawford is spectaclar.

not sure if I've shown this recent pick up!

So far my collection is almost exclusively post-war, but apparently I got lost yesterday and ended up in the pre-war world and bought myself a Merkle at a local shop.

Love the Crawford!!

Lovin that card

My first Cobb. Thanks, Scott!

Congrats Robert!

E125
 

E125 American Caramel - George Gibson

Thanks Brian.

Attachment 231075

Dueling snipes on this PWCC highest graded Speaker ran it up, but I love it anyway. I think Polar Bear is my favorite back. #catchingT206fever

a couple more for the Crandall run. The Old Mill is actually more difficult than a Red Hindu for Crandall w/hat and the Polar Bear is about as difficult as a Crandall RH

Old Put
 

Got this from REA today.......Jerry

Some really nice stuff guys. Was able to win this for a decent price in the Heritage auction. Think it presents pretty nicely for a 10. Slowly putting together a collector grade set. Have both of the Wagner's now.

I have one of these as well and I agree that the pose is great. Yours presents a bit nicer than mine. Congrats on a great pickup!

Thanks Eric!

Heritage win
 

Only one known

Finally got a 34 Gehrig!! One of my favorite cards!!

Great looking Gehrig Paul!

Neat card....if I was still doing type cards heavily I would have been very interested.
Other than that still interested in generic rppc's with interesting content....

Thanks Erick! I love your avatar!!

And it continues with the EPDGs
 

I get to start the next row! (Final row??)

Picked up some toughies in Herzog Boston and Campbell as well a few more to get me to the 176 in the collage. Plus I'll be adding 11 more new ones once the heritage lot comes in. 187 total.....

sorry not sure how to post larger

I finally got around to scanning some newer stuff.

P.S. pardon my "bold" on nearly every post I make - my eyes kinda suck at times, so it's easier goin' bold when I preview before posting :p.

Snagged this one last night for my Columbus Collection.

Wow Brian, Nice!!

Thank you, Dave.

Baker to Evers To Chance?
 

I know that's not a thing.

Who says centering doesn't help? :) Great trio of pick ups...

Very nice T206s.

T206 Patrick Moran
 

Picked up this nice Patrick Moran T206 with a bonus date stamp on the back.

Heritage pickup...
 

P J Moran S74 silk and Oscar Stanage T205
 

Thanks to Ed and Don respectively for the Moran S74 silk and Stanage T205.

Thanks,

Patrick

Got my new favorite T207 back from SGC. I've never cared too much about centering, but it sure does look nice when the centering is good on this set.

Sweet card.

My REA winning just arrived:

Attachment 231617

Nice, very cool! Were you shaking when you opened it? I would have been.

Tinker to Wheat?
 

From the latest PWCC auction, very pleased with these two cards, especially the centering, corners and color on the Wheat (a "5" because of a top-right corner crease.)

I couldn't open it fast enough. :D

Just Arrived Today! Got this card through the BST without any problems, thanks to Orlando!:)

http://i772.photobucket.com/albums/y...pss11crcoc.jpg

Sean congrats on one of the most coveted cards in the hobby! I was watching that one closely. Glad a Net54er got it.

Picked this guy up from eBay last week. Liked the centering for the grade and price.

Brian - I had that one in my cross-hairs - glad I didn't press you for it.

Congratulations! That's a sweet swamp!

Great card Jerry, you stole it at that price too.

Thank you, Raymond.

My Holsum's
 

I have had the top two for a while but just added the bottom one.

Interestingly neither PSA or SGC have a registry set for either the 20 or 21 sets...

Thanks Sam! Yours above are beauties. There are a ton of incredible cards in here this month.

Nice Black Sox James! I love those cards.

Some really gorgeous cards here, guys. Thank you all for sharing.

Nice 3 cards

Loved watching Carew hit! And Ryan cards will be the next Mantle cards ten years from now.

Now just two left to finish my set....

Got my Ruth finally.

The "Mythical" Creator of Baseball. Even if it isn't so - still a nice addition to the collection...

WooHoo. It has been a good year for my autographed Goudey set. With this new one it will be 5 this year after a 2 year drought. Now at 82/96.

A big thanks to Pete Fishman who helped me acquire 3 and Jason May who helped make it possible for me to acquire the most recent 2. I love this board.

Great pick up Brian! I'm hoping to add a Black Swamp Find McLean to my Reds collection some day, but I need the price to come down.

Your pickups and B/S/T threads are always so diverse; I'm curious what is your collecting interest / focus?

Best Offer accepted this morning

Hank Schreiber - 1923-1924 Columbus

Down to the last 4 cards! Need Gehrig (37), Trosky, Wells and Hoag.

One more acquisition before the Robert Morris show. Thank you, Mark:

Amazing cardboard everyone.
 

I haven't posted my monthly pickups in awhile, but after looking at everyone's cardboard I was inspired to scan and post. Incredible cards everyone, thanks for sharing.

It took some trades and cash to get this Cobb, but it was worth it.

A very difficult T200 to find in any condition. Number six in this 16 card set, possibly my favorite set of all-time.

From the Robert Morris show in Pittsburgh (Moon township) I thank respectfully and respectively William Chappell, Ed Kushner and Ed Hans:

I want that Green Cobb

David, everyone has a price ;)

I had some rare good fortune at an estate sale/auction this week. The Suitcase Seeds card is strangely a blank back on thicker cardboard, so I would welcome some input.
