Some great pick ups this month, Rhett, really cool set with some great images. Congrats on the Ruth pick up Brian. Congrats on your 1st T206 Nate, careful it can become addicting.

July pick ups to add to my type collection, 1909-10 E97 Briggs Lozenge.

Nice video Rhett, great cards, and I agree these should be classified as an 'E' set instead of 'W' (just like other box candy cards like the Orange Borders, Baseball Bats, J=K, Schapira etc.), and that the ACC should be a living catalog of the cards we collect, because discoveries like the Snap Shot box you showed (nice replica, by the way) should be noted and classifications changed, for both accuracy and the benefit of the collecting community.

But TPG's seem to prefer that all this info (card classification, year of issue, etc.) to be set in stone to what it was 25 years ago, so the living catalog idea has an uphill battle to catch on.


Brian

Starting a budget Jimmie Foxx PC.

A 1931 W517 is with SGC (likely a 2-3), and I took a flyer on this one recently.

Buying raw vintage can be a dangerous game, but I see no reference to R315 reprints, and the print lines/smudges at the bottom do not match any other examples I could find. Will also send to SGC, and would be thrilled with an "A" for what I paid.

1929-30 R315

NIce looking card Brian

Maybe this is the way I should get to Chicago. :)

This is my pickup of the year, and it came courtesy of a TAoK (Targeted Act of Kindness) from a fellow Net54'er. Without revealing too much, this collector's N54 ID involves a 'js'. This D310 Pacific Coast Biscuit of Kostner kinda completes a close to 25 year journey for me, and my head is still spinning. I have picked up two from this set in the past seven years, both the direct result of this collector's thoughtfulness.

Thanks to this ed-ifying and ed-ucated fellow, my D310 witch is dead!


Brian

Nice Foxx. I believe the "1st Base" caption is tougher -- most I have seen just name him as "Fielder"-- at least the white ones.

Picked these two up recently. One from board member (Thank you) and the other at National for back run.

Thanks
Chad

Thanks to Jay and David on here for helping me grow my Caruthers collection. If anyone has an N28 they are willing to part with, I am a buyer.

Newest pickup

T206 Frank Chance Red Portrait
 

National pickup from Bill Brodhead. Pretty low pop at this grade level and above so it was a no-brainer.

Thank you

Great looking “1” with deep colors!

OT:

One fortunate transaction by not going to Chicago.

Now, off to see "Arsenic and Old Lace" in Pittsburgh with the offer of "tea and cookies".

T2o6 off-back set build
 

Not off-backs, but enough uniqueness to make it into the binder 👍

Big thanks to fellow member LuckyLarry, picked this up in the $1 auctions a few weeks ago and snuck it into the SGC football special before it ended.....:D

Thanks to members thromdog and Cory for the T206

Finishing month off with a bang!
 

I skipped the National this year where I know I would have bought 10-20 items I may not be in love with a year later and got this pc grail and true Mantle rookie last night.

Great Mantle RC! Congrats!
Still trying to find one for my PC as well...
