Been lurking here for 12 years (!) and finally have a pick up to share, found "in the wild' at an estate sale. Not the prettiest but it's a nice back.

I would be proud to have this card in my collection. Great detective work, the sea of fake Goudey Ruths on ebay is not for the feint of heart.
Congratulations!

Picked up a nice little Matty Disc. Also Mr. Charizard - don't laugh. Guess which cost more. Times are-a-chang'in.

Jim- always cool to see a card I once owned (W574 Grove) showing up again on Net54...guess that's one advantage to having them graded.

Cool group of additions...congrats!

Wow that is a great looking PSA 1. Nice work!

Great pickup Jarrod! The yellow Ruth is amazing and I applaud your detective skills!

Murr'y
 

This one has me fired up!! A very cool legitimate variation...excited to send it off and graded. My scanner does it no justice.

You sent it to PSA and actually got it back..Very notable.

Nice Josh. Was it sold as a Murr'y or did you notice it was the variation and pick it up at a Murray price?

Big month for my PC. Traded for the Gehrig with a member here (thanks Jay!), and finally added a CJ card.

As the Boss says, “You ain’t a beauty but hey, you’re all right...oh, and that’s all right with me.” Well done!

Just got these two in the mail today. The Dahlen is an upgrade (my other one, a green one, has terrible paper loss due to the paper chipping off) and the McGraw makes number 13 for me so far in the set.

Thank you so much for the help Phil!!!

Tougher combo than most would think, only 2 in the pop report and 3 listed
sales in the past 12 years. There was no back scan but I took a gamble
because with this print flaw there was a high % it was a factory 25.

Congrats, these are outstanding.

I do not recall if I posted this last month but WTF, I will post it again:

Super Happy w These!

Wow super tough

Picked up a couple harder to find E121-120's at the REA side hustle.

First post ever here, hoping I don't screw this up....

Recently decided to transition solely to vintage and picked up these two: W516 Heinie Groh and a W529 Jack Dempsey. Nothing super fancy, but really excited nonetheless

Nice 1st post Parks, welcome.

Another pick up for the fledgling Cracker Jack Collection.

Zeenuts
 

Checked off some of my Zeenut wantlist last week:
1916 - Risberg, Reuther, Larsen
1919 - Beck x2, Borton, Rumler, A Arlett
1920 - Jenkins x3

Came today as part of a lot from the last Huggins & Scott auction

I have been working on my mid-tier set for about 5 years now. Ol' Stoney McGlynn has alluded me all this time .... Thanks to Luke for finally hunting him down for me................. :) ...... as an aside: I had to look him up, as I figured his nickname wasn't based on "today's" assumption :o .... He seemed to have been the Iron Man McGinnity of the minors, with amazing number of innings pitched, complete games, etc........ Therefore known as "The man of stone" or having a "stone arm." Just adds to the interest, imo ..............

Alperman is #32 of my SC150/649op replacements (still need Pastorius and Matty/white [:eek:]).

Other two, just kind'a cool .....

Jeff, Well Done! Really Just Amazing!

I’ve never seen that before. Wow.

It’s a different card for sure with the three different photos. I’ve always loved it because it may be the best, most clear actual photo of Babe’s face on a baseball card...at least a card issued during the time he played.

T213 time!

Woke up this morning to find I was the owner of this Type 1 Coupon cigarettes card of Frank Chance. Only the 2nd example of a Type 1 I have ever owned. When I went to bed I didn't think I had a chance to win it because cards like this are not in my collector budget, but sometimes these things just work out. Happy to have it.

Sweet card!!

Nice cards, Wazoo and Jonathan, where did you find those? I have an example of each, and both were very difficult to find.

Great cards guys...agree with Rob...that Krause is rare...Jerry

The way prices have taken off, glad to have grabbed this guy. Low grade, but still very presentable, and didn't have to shell out $15K.

Frank Arellanes-

Along with Sandy Nava cited as one of the first Mexican-Americans to play in the Major Leagues. His most productive season came in 1909, when he recorded 16 wins with a 2.18 ERA as the replacement of Cy Young in the pitching rotation, leading the American League in games finished (15) and saves (eight).

Born in Santa Cruz Ca. he died at age 36, a victim of the 1918 Spanish influenza epidemic.

.

I won mine in Board Member Any Sandlers Auction. I think the Krause came from the same source. I know it has a tack hole but I will happily trade it for the heavy creases that I have seen on most of these. Especially for an example of a Hall of Famer. Having handled a few of these the card stock is very thin and fragile. Much more so than a T206 or the type 2 and 3 Coupons.
I also picked up a set of 1968 Oakland A's photos/ postcards that included a Reggie rookie. That I hope to get signed.

Yes sir. Same source. Congrats!

Thanks, guys, I have won some nice stuff from Sandler's auctions in the past. I forgot to look at this one, congrats.

Just got these but I ended up becoming interested in going a different direction while they were out getting graded so they won't be mine for long lol. The Collins was uncatalogued/undiscovered up to this point, meaning this is the only one known to exist AFAIK.

Just picked up this Babe Ruth 1930 Indiana-sport-Avion card. Really happy to get it even in this condition. Very scarce Ruth card.

Cool Smokey Joe. I’ve never seen that one.

nice one! looks like the babe just hit a sky high foul ball?

Nice Jason. I still need one of those for my Jersey City collection since he's wearing his JC jersey in the photo.

Scored this 1909 Crawford Pin last night on Memory Lane. This will go great with the other version of the Morton's Bread Pin I have of Crawford

Finally Mr Koob
 

If this needs to go in the memorabilia side let me know, but I'm very very happy to finally track down a type 1 Photo of Mr Ernie Koob:) The only post 1900 no no pitcher without an era baseball card?

Thanks, I couldn't believe it when I saw the Collins come up for auction

Not in great shape but wanted a Tolstoi.

That's a really nice Weaver. Congrats

Wow - outstanding set of Ruth's!!!

Thanx Leon, chipping away little by little. Smart pick up on that Jackie.

Thanks! Jersey City....that makes sense. Couldn't quite figure out what was going on with the uniform.

Got this T200 in the recent Heartland Auction. The bottom edge looks like it was trimmed (rather unevenly) which accounts for the grade, but otherwise not a bad looking card. Now down to Boston and St. Louis National and Cleveland and New York American to complete the set.

REA Win. Anxious to see what the big one will hold and how crazy the prices will get.

Brian, I was impressed by Mr. Murray's ability to levitate and bat at the same time. Must have been tough to find his strike zone.

Recently picked up a few more E98s for my set. Love these things! Also, these are my first blues.

You can stumble upon some nice cards on eBay sometimes. I'm supposedly working on AB350NF, and if I am ever going to finish the subset, this would probably be the biggest hurdle. (I made up the last nickname to see if anyone reads this stuff.) This card looks a lot nicer in hand. The scan emphasizes the creases. I guess everyone always says that though.

I was watching this. I feel like you did well for such a great combo. Iconic card too. Congrats again.

Nice pick-up. I bid on this early. Enjoy.

Thanks, y'all. I think it helped that it closed around lunchtime on a weekday. I almost missed it.

Found this today inside a vintage photo frame at an antique store for $2. Didn’t know what it was exactly at first but I collect Red Sox and figured it was a premium of some sort. Still in nice condition!

This is a huge pick up for me that I have been after for a few years. It is the only horizontal card in the entire set and rarely comes up for sale.

Congrats on the pick up Ben.

New addition
 

Happy to add this tougher variation combined with a tougher back to the Pirates team set collection my kids and I are building.
