Great pickup, Jeff. The "George" variation is definitely the toughest one to get. Great run!

Such a huge get Jeff. Congrats, Erick is awesome, and I’m super stoked to see you land this card sir. Borderline jealous here.

............. yet another combo that has alluded me for a loooooong time ..... ;)

“I am sorry to admit it, but I am a baseball player. I don’t know how I ever got into such a degrading, sinful business. It is an awful game and the men who play it are sinners, not fit for God-fearing people to associate with.” -- Bob Unglaub

Fun, Fun, Scott :rolleyes:

Never noticed the T3 Manning before...that's one great looking card, and you have a nice example.

Brian

Thanks Jeff and Josh!

Big congrats Jeff! Having all 3 name variations is a great accomplishment! Glad it found a great home!

Beautiful Turkey! I'd be proud to have that one in my collection. Congrats.

Some serious beasts this month. Lots of Ruth! Congrats Jeff, Aaron and everyone else

Carolina Brights
 

Finally able to land a Carolina Brights for #21 (including T213) on my Matty dark cap back run. Thank you Jay K!

Guessing it may be my last T206, since it's Drum and Broadleaf which remain.

Awesome Ian. Color me green with envy. Thay's one I hope to add to my dark cap run as well.

Congrats Jeff! It's been fun to watch you stick to your guns and put together impressive Ruth and Jackson collections, I know I could never stay so disciplined. :)

That’s a beauty Jeff, congratulations.

So many great cards this month, congrats to Josh, Aaron and Pete. Also Kenny, love that Mick.

Thanks Dean. You'll be the first person I contact if I ever decide to break up my run.

BTW- I'll match your envy for that T213-1 of yours. That's an amazing card.

Congrats on the pick up and the run Ian.

Thanks Phil, Leon, Gary, Josh, Erick, Ryan, Chuck, and Chad

Effort of love as it is for most of us.

and Chad you are right some how I have remained Disciplined. Discipline and Focus is always my goal on my collection but

Reality makes it tough with all the great cards I see here on the forum. Makes we want to detour and try and get them.

Funny each month I say the New Pickup month was great and it would be tough to beat and yet ever month we seem to make another great month of pickups.

I really enjoy watching each collection grow and the diversity of collections out there.

and thanks to Leon for making this forum run smoothly to give us all a place to do this

Abner Dalrymple N172
 

Fortunate to pick up 2 more Abner Dalrymple OJs from Net54 members to run the total to 6 now.

Thanks for the kind words, Jeff. If all of our members were like you this place would be the friendliest place on the internet. And I agree with your sentiments. Every month I see cards on here that make me drool :). Being a type card collector, I can dabble in anything...so, no focus for me!!

Ian, that’s a great pick-up! I hope you are well, and have a Merry Christmas.

1913 premiums

+1

Only took 3 days but I got them all uploaded. 1913 Fatima premiums. All are like new.
My pictures kinda ruined it with the shading though.

Sat out the whole pandemic thing and then December hit. Couple of auctions and some good folks from the BST....

Fun mail day today!
A pile of Collins-McCarthy cards from the last Collector Connection auction (thanks Scott!) and a beautiful 68T Carew from eBay.

December Pickup
 

Got this Stone from a neighbor for Christmas.

The only thing better than a graded T206... is a free graded T206!

my first blank back
 

e90-2

E104-2? I was watching that.

thx
 

for the correction and letting me get a good deal on it.

That is a great photo Greg.

Last big card of the year was a very big one for me. My first Wagner. Purchased on Net54.

Early Christmas gifts!
 

These 2 rarities arrived today, a Hank Gowdy B18 (Red infield) and a James LaFitte T211 Red Sun card.

Thanks to REA for the B18 and to Christopher for the T211 via the BST thread.

A nice way to end a great collecting year.

Happy Holidays,

Patrick

Picked up these T205’s for a great price.

Also got the 1956 Early Wynn. It’s in nice shape except for a small, odd little cigarette ash burn? on the back.

My LOTG winning finally arrived. Happy days are here again!!!!!

Bravo Chris! Well done sir.

Wow and Wow on both those Ruth pickups

Great Examples and eye appeals

Very nice Michael! Congrats!

Those are cool Phil...Jerry

It's been a while but pretty sure I got this from Luke, so thank you again! Or here's credit for something I bought elsewhere ;)

Great photo of "the old fox". One of my all-time favorites. I proudly possess a t205 and t206 of him.

Greg, great looking Witmor Candy card of Wheat. Which back does it have? I love cards like this from obscure sets.

Dec pick up
 

Picked up these 2 beauties at a local card show.

t217
 

printing error from huggins

Couple more...

Got a wrapper this month (really enjoyed seeing the REA offering of almost all of the ‘33 wrappers they had recently).

Well, it took me 4 years to complete (and sell) a 520 T206 Peidmont/SC (PB) set.

Now been working 6 years on a T206 "mid-tier" back set (still in progress ;))

So, I figure, time for something new ...... T207s !!!!

Just two favorites for now ..........

Attachment 548966

Marsans --- Yes, Virginia, T207s do have diamond cuts ..... :p

Benz -- "Hey pal, what the hell are you looking at" ........... :)

Fun, fun, (and Merry, merry), Scott :rolleyes:

Got about halfway to another Dodger team set. Love how affordable 1940 Play Ball is if you’re not chasing Jackson, Teddy, or Joe D.

Couple of great looking cards there, congrats!

My first Ruth card, although this is nearly the size of an exhibit. Bought from a board member who was patient to let me get my financing in order. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...87b6c6ee3f.jpg

Congrats on your first Ruth Card and glad to hear a fellow board member worked with you on it.

And most importantly Welcome to the Ruth family.

Congrats it’s a beautiful image. Happy Holidays.

Squeezed this guy in before year end.

I am thrilled to finish off the year with these two toughies

I’d be willing to bet that the missing corners were once holding thumb tacks pinned to a wall, and the card was yanked down.

Boston babe for the ruth collection.

Likely one of the last playing day ruth cards.

Great stuff everyone.

Very glad to add this low-pop card. Thanks Jeff T.

Nice Criger pickups!
 

Congrats Joe,

Awesome Criger pickups!

Great examples...those National Cooper Plates are tough!

Patrick

They are great cards in every way, as are 1939 and 1941. I am with you!

R340
 

As a long time 1930’s collector, I had to go for my first R340.

Off off off

Happy New Years. I was excited to cross this off my list.

I would be remiss if I were to not show this pickup also. The Zacher was from Huggins and Scott, the Becker was part of a trade with Phil for the two cards he posted above. Thanks again Phil, you are a really great guy. Sorry about the bad scans, I lifted them off the net.

Cannot wait to see what the New Year Brings for everyone’s collections on this forum

Horizontal back!
