Awesome Greenberg, Brian

Thanks, Eric.

Gary, I think I am seeing double after looking at those Ruths!
In a word, awesome.

This is very impressive. I also find it extraordinary that Ruth was able maintain his expression and pose for so many different background tints.

Brian

My first Lefty Grove card!

Thanks, Ben, Brian, and BrianP!

I wonder if there are other collectors also going for this color run. The last time I saw a purple, I got into a bidding war which I lost. Admittedly, I think there was another time that a lot was listed as purple, but I thought it was a color that I already had and completely missed it.

Gary, I think you may need to collect some additional variations--what about the color variants WITHOUT the print marks on the right border? Is there such a permutation?

Wow and wow

Love all those color variations and the pose

Slowly building up the quality of my collection

This is my next pickup

Babe Ruth 1921 Asahina Sporting Goods Postcard 1 of only 2 known

Fantastic run Gary, good luck on closing it out.

Jeff that is a monster card and a great addition to your collection, congrats.

Added one to my prewar Memphis collection. I believe this is my fourth T211

Picked this up at Philly Show. Love George Burke Photos early 40s.

Awesome Jeff, I bought that postcard on eBay a couple years ago when it was raw but the seller cancelled the sale and guessing sold it to someone else. Love it.

I have Mr. Fritz with a red border and Old Mill back. My lone Red Sun is Charlie Babb, also Memphis. They are darned hard to find. Nice pick up, sir!

Incredible pickup, Jeff. One of my favorite images of Ruth.

Thanks James. Pretty sure we've talked about some of my Memphis prewar collection before. Always a pleasure to be able to add to it.

Added another 1916-20 UNC Big Head last night.
Suprised i now have 2 Rice & 2 Sisler. Call me a hoarder.
Still looking for PING BODIE.

Boom!! Nice Rose PC!

Jeff - that Matty is amazing!

Terrific pick-up, Jeff. Matty's image will always haunt me.

Thank you, guys; and David that one is a beauty.

PS: I'm reading a bio of Mike Donlin and I was shocked at how bad some of Mathewson's behavior was with the McGraw Giants. He wasn't quite the choirboy he has been made out to be! In one instance, he assaulted a child who had come onto the field to sell lemonade in the aftermath of a fight between the Giants and Athletics.

Tough Tharps Ice Cream

Congrats that is a beauty

and a Rarity

Great Pick up

Love those Big Heads

T205 Minor League catcher run complete
 

It took ten years to complete my run of Hick Cady and Lew McAllister with both the Hassan and Polar Bear backs. These players only came in those two backs. The Polar Bear backed T205s are tough to find in nice condition. The other 3 examples are similar to my recent pickup. Love the Minor League T205 designs!

Patrick

I'm pretty sure this was purchased from a net54 member!

Trimmed miscut
 

Whateves

Happy to add this to the Pirates type collection
 

I found it at the Philly show!

Not sure I posted these, they were August pickups

Nice
 

Nice pickups Aaron and Howard...Jerry

Congrats

Jeff and Jerry - thank you kindly.

Picked this up in REA

Picked up a pair of Ts today. My first 2. Added them to the trade box.

Couple of humble acquisitions. I love those picture packs, especially very early photos of Ted.

Picked up these "jumbo" oversized T206s in LOTG...
