Great pick ups Ryan. I thought that Cobb was going to sell for a ton?

As always Ryan Congrats. Two great pick ups. Glad I bowed out on those cards early. lol :D

Ned Garvin
 

From Heritage last night. Virgil Garvin played 2 games for NYAL in 1904. He only appeared in W600 and E107 so had to pay nosebleed $ for this really nice PSA 4.5
Would be nice if they weren't put in crooked...

From Heritage. And great provenance too :)

Thanks Ethan and Jeff (and I too am glad you decided not to bid!).

Mike, great pickup. Enjoy it!

wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !

Love the Plows, congrats Ryan

Hard to follow that Brown Lennox (what a beaut!), but I'm very happy to have snagged this highest PSA graded Cycle 460 Herzog for my back run. Won this last night from Sterlings! The rare, put one bid in yesterday and it stuck!

Was chasing a Black Lenox as well from Heritage, but could really only afford to tackle one at this time.

Bill

Great pickups as usual, Ryan. I also thought the Plow Cobb went low. I don't follow this card, but I think you got a great deal there.

Thanks Guys!

Ryan, killer pieces!

Bill, love that Cycle. Buzz, great W600.

Those W600s last night were amazing. I'd love to know who outbid me on the Burkett. It's the #1 card on my wantlist, but it went for about $34K (plus tax) in miserable condition.

Hey I needed the pose variation!

New arrivals.

I won this beauty last night, a Type 1 McGraw. Cards of McGraw as a player are REALLY tough and this one is special.
Trivia question: Which three players are at the top of the career OBP list? Most would guess Ruth and Williams but a close number three is McGraw.

Congrats Jay. I have the exact same McGraw, except listing him as a manager. I almost made a run for your "infielder" version. Glad it's going to a good home.

Thanks Paul. If it was a manager version I would have passed. That said, a type 4 manager version in worse shape went for $20,000 more.

FYI one thing people should be aware of who might have gotten PSA graded W600's last night(or anywhere else), the holders are pressed down very tightly, especially on the slightly thicker and textured surface type 4's. Many of the cabinets have shifted during mailing/shipping and were stuck to the front of the holder, then shifted, thus peeling the top layer of stock off on the edges.

DO NOT TRY TO TAP THEM BACK IN PLACE OR YOU RISK FURTHER DAMAGE.

They really need to be either reholdered with the mylar insert or freed entirely.

If you look as scans you can see where the cabinet originally rested and left traces of it's stock, which resulted in bare areas on the borders when it moved.

:eek:

Are there any other cabinet issues that have this problem with the PSA slab? Thanks for the forewarning!

Not that I have seen. The type 4 W600's seem to be the worst, due to thicker stock and the textured surface. When jostled around they leave a cross hatch pattern where the top layer(colored portion) used to be. One of the ones I won, I just happened to have a before and after scan(holdering) and it really did a job on the cabinet, but if one was unaware they might not notice.

Quite happy with this from Heritage.

Congrats Brian! That was my consignment. Enjoy it- it’s a great card.

Wow Ryan! It’s going to a good home!

Garvin
 

Wow, the first thing I was going to do was to tap the W600 Garvin back into place! Thanks for the advice.

Unfortunately the damage has already been done, so it might not hurt it further. You can see the white on the left edges and a little at the top, where the top layer has come off, traces of which are still on the inside of the holder. And I might amend my prior statement about it being the Type 4's, it appears to be evident on all of the different types.

Heritage pick up

Nice little upgrade for me in Heritage

I had a feeling Ryan was going for the Plow’s Cobb. In my opinion one of the most important cards in the hobby. After putting in an initial bid, I stopped. I’m glad Ryan got it as I already have one and the price is an absolute steal.

Big thanks to Joshua, The Great Wazoo, for making Birmingham available ..... he completes a "sub-sub" set of Hindu Horizontals .............. :)

What an odd game we play ..... As stated before it took me almost 3 years to find Sov.150 Matty/white ...... It has probably taking that long to find Lajoie (THANKS to Andy !!!!) ..... then I get them both within a week ............. :p

Oh, and May seems to be a good month for Magee portraits ........... ;)

Fun, fun, Scott

Pure awesome Scott....

Number 390 in the rebuilt collection
 

And I’m sure the photo will come in sideways as they all do.

Thanks to David and Adam for the heads-up.

Congrats Ed, 390 is an amazing number.

sO IS 69 ;)

Here’s a cool c.1800s stereoview I recently picked up. Unfortunately, due to some poor packaging methods, here’s how it arrived today….lovely.

Still a great image. Sorry that happened to your item.

T207 George "Peaches" Graham
 

Happy to replace my T207 George "Peaches" Graham that I traded away a few years back.


Patrick

One more PC796/novelty down. Thank Ben!

Added the #181 Thursday to the finish quartet. I was happy to do so with solid eye appeal, strong colors, no creases or paper loss.

Another stunning portrait my friend congrats!

Thanks Josh, much appreciated!

Your Ruth collection is coming along nicely.

Those 4 look fantastic together.....

Won this Diamond Star Stan Hack in Heritage. Besides being a card I needed for the set, it makes a nice pair with another Stan Hack card I have from a different set I collect (a card I already had). I always thought it was cool that he was in sets from two different eras.

Fantastic Tinker Tony, congrats on closing out the foursome Josh. Nice pick up on the Plank Ben, amazing month for member pick ups, congrats to all.

That’s beast, congrats!!

Some T213s
 

Dipping my feet back in a little...Jerry

Very nice Jerry.

Thanks so much I enjoy visiting your flicker always amazed and humbled by your collection, thanks for sharing.

Wow! Coupon heaven! I'm in awe. Wonderful pick up, congrats.

Awesome Rusie Bob, the man who threw so hard he made them move the mound to 60'6".

Ummm, Jerry, dropping a T213-3 Overprint Cobb in with a whole lotta other great stuff including a T213-3 portrait Cobb hardly qualifies as "dipping in your feet"...

Wow, awesome stuff!

I knew I was in trouble when I first saw this Heritage auction. The card budget may be busted, but it was worth it :)

AGREED! Try dunking your head…. Great haul Jerry, congrats

Chad, amazing W600s. That’s well worth busting the budget IMO

I'm confused. I broke my glasses at the beach today, and only saw Peter's troll, i mean hof post. This is a great haul, Jerry. Where did you find this stuff? Let me know if you want to trade the T213-3 Cobb port. Rob

Thanks
 

Thanks guys...someone who was a non-dealer/collector who had them for a while...Jerry

Not a dealer, and not a collector. That's where all the good finds come from, grandpa's attic. Congrats, Jerry. Neat find. Back in the game.

The only set I've ever completed is 1978 Topps, and it's okay. The chase is the fun part.

+1 agreed some amazing pickups and wow on those W600’s

Ruth

Some postcards and a photo

I posted this on the memorabilia side and thought I'd show it here, also. It's an 1860s cdv. It's difficult to see, but it says, "Get Up & Git" on their bats.

I missed that on the memorabilia side so thanks for posting it here. Love it.

Thanks, Michael.

Monday Mailday…

Nice card, Ryan. I love those early ‘20s black and white Ruth’s.

Beautiful Nap Lajoie! I only have a handful of t206, but that's one of them, Sweet Caporal back. Best looking Lajoie, IMO.

I was starting to feel left out with all these great cards picked up by our Group

So here is mine that is on its way

This is the Type 2 To go along with my Type 1

Great grab Ryan, I had considered that one hard both in auction and while Tony had it. My others were PSA, which is a dumb reason but albeit reason, I hesitated. It’s a absolute beauty!

Thank you!

Great pickup Jeff!

Congrats Jeff. FOMO is expensive!! At least you buying great stuff

Thanks Bob and Ryan and I have to learn to overcome my fears

today

More t206…thanks Scott and Joe!

Last T205 I needed to get to complete my set other than the tough (and expensive) Hoblitzell, Mathewson and Wilhelm variations.

Congratulations Jay on completing your set, quite an accomplishment.

Recent WaJo pick-up for my back collection.

A post-playing days cabinet card? of Cap Anson I won from the recent Collector Connection auction. Like it a lot, but don't really know what to make of it.
