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

DJ

More
 

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 :)

But card borders are supposed to look like mountain ranges ;)

I think this is the first time I've ever been mad about getting a grade because it should have been lower.

N284 Gold Coin Cap Anson
 

Picked up from a fellow board member.

I always liked that card from the sort of generic set...

and another T205....

Recent pick-up with the help of eBay bucks. I really like the new SGC holders.

1st A&G! and an American Caramel
 

Neat little find...

Run for your lives everyone...we're officially in a t206 bubble!

picked these up in the last few weeks! now back to rebuilding the card funds lol

C-Mack, I like your Johnson.....

But what about my cards !?

Neal, Pete and C-Mack, nice pick ups.

I'm a full blown T206 junkie. However, I can stop anytime I want. :)

And this one from Luke.

Thanks but I'm a sucker for old mills backs! Congrats

Finally picked up a Lajoie
Attachment 332492

One of the best looking cards in the set....
 

Dean, another great-looking example of a top card (with a rarer back to boot). Congrats.

Thank you Ryan. I can only imagine what this thread will look like after tonight. :eek:

trying to put the highlanders team together with different backs....still have some more on the way.

Oh rookie
 

Mt first dabble into Japanese baseball:

REA is over. I got the card I wanted although I think I was bumped up during the first "overtime." Oh well. Still happy with the win.

Great card there Gary! Congrats, I wanted that one, but it got out of my range. Great looking HH!

White whale ahead!
 

Finally got this laat night, or was it this morning? There are only a handful of them this high and to me the O/C (which I usually avoid) is not bad at all--very strong left to right and even not bad at all at center bottom.

http://www.net54baseball.com/attachm...1&d=1540811253

Went a little outside my norm. If I'm not mistaken, the Plank is the same image as the M101-2 and I've always wanted an N142 as they are absolutely stunning.

Rea
 

Just got this one.... wanted many more but oh well....

I always spend way too much with REA!

Nice haul Ryan! I knew that Kotton had your name all over it! ;)

Yeah, but you do ALWAYS pick up NICE stuff!

I thought the same thing, but could have sworn I saw Ryan post an incoming one other time of the Wagner Throwing Kotton... do you have two now Ryan?

there are potentially 5 different t216 wagner throwing backs i believe.

It was a long and rocky night with REA but I managed to grab 2 E97 B&Ws I needed and a blue background E98 Young for my master set of E98s.
I did use ceiling bids so I wasn't as affected as some on here, but I had one E97 B&W (Kroh) slip by me because of the foul ups.

Nice pick up Brian. I have picked up a T216 MINO a while ago, and last night I picked up a T216 Kotton.

Ryan, your pickups are always great to see!

Nice
 

Nice ones DJ, Ryan, Tbob!!! Ryan I went for the Wagner Kotton throwing years ago but couldn't pull it off...had the Mino Wagner throwing.....Jerry

Goldin pickup. Been waiting for a nice Tip Top Gibson for a while.

Happy my bids held up for these - sorry for the crappy pics; I don't know how to steal the images correctly from REA :)

Nice grabs Chris. That Cobby is nice for a 2. I was tracking that one as well.

W514 types, including my first Mother's back in landscape orientation

Sweet quartet of cards, Chris. Love the color on the Bat Off.

May not be pretty, but Hooker is No. 23 Hindu SL ..... :)

Fun, fun, Scott :rolleyes:

Looking forward to getting these in, sorry about the huge pix. Not sure how to get shrinkage other than going in the pool...

My first Babe Ruth auto via Goldin Saturday night:

Attachment 332735

Oh....and I'll have these hanging on my Baseball Room wall shortly:

Attachment 332736Attachment 332737

I thought that was a lot that was reasonably priced. I thought about making a run at them, but at the end decided to save my money, and get a good night's sleep. Cool pickup.

Way to go Chris! Great cards!!! Congrats Ryan!

Excellent pickups Ryan. :) I'm waiting to post my new card until I receive it.

Thanks guys. Orlando, you pick anything up? Sean, I am super psyched for you and welcome you to the club!

gorgeous Raymond! Simply gorgeous!

Thanks...been wanting one of Graig's paintings for a while, now, I'll have two!

I stopped posted on these threads since the stuff I got didn't seem "worthy," but thought I'd share this one. I don't have a super expensive scanner so the scan does the beauty of the card no justice.

https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1913/...a186a60e_c.jpgSpeaker, Tris by kekinsley, on Flickr

Picked this one up out of a facebook baseball group oddly enough

back is cleaner than the front unfortunately but still pretty nice for a Poor and still thrilled to own this non-regional RC of 42

That card is awesome! You clearly have a great eye. You should post more.

Kin. This is a great card, congrats. Yes, expensive cards are often posted, but that doesn’t make anyone else’s pick ups less worthy. If you are excited and proud about a pick up - 100% post it. This forum/thread is for us geeks to share what we love and to make friends. Pleas share and share often, especially when it’s a pretty t206 Tris Speaker!

Just saw Sam’s post, totally agree

Ryan, amazing stuff there! All amazing but I LOVE the Claxton!!

Chris that Mendelsohn Cobb is outstanding!

Aaron Love the Cobbies but that JJ Postcard is Great! I was bidding on that one.. Congrats!

Kin, I love the Speaker! That was my first T206 pickup ever "back in the day" Keep posting!!

Great stuff everyone!

Thanks! Actually received my winnings from REA today in California! I've never received them so quickly. Thanks, Brian!

The raw one that ended the other day looked like it was a fake/reprint so snagged this one instead just to be safe. Adding it to my Highlanders team set.

Random bunch of cards I've got lately. I really like how the new SGC label looks on black and white cards. And the US Caramels look great in PSA holders. Really having fun with some non-T206 pre-war lately.

The Mollwitz card is a new favorite. I can't believe that felt like a good way to catch a baseball at any point in the evolution of the game.

Card is still inbound, but I thought it very apropos to post an orange background Cobby on Halloween.

http://www.net54baseball.com/picture...ictureid=25650

love seeing those Charles Bray Collection cards, got 2 or three myself.

And in the spirit of Halloween, you accidentally posted a ghost!

Attachment 332805

4 nice new entries to my T206 HOF collection. Down to 4 more (to have at least one card of each member of the HOF, minus Wagner and Plank)

Nice haul Luke. Alywa -- great looking borders on that Brown portrait, congrats. Dean, an orange Cobb on Halloween is perfect. And I just picked this up from Brian (thanks Brian), because I haven't done enough damage in October yet... Get me the hell out of this month already!!
