Thanks! Unfortunatley back damage with some paper loss. But the front is great along with its borders so it displays nice. I had a tough time finding another, so this one fits the bill.

Thanks, Gary. I'm very happy with it!

Hey Pete, this is Joe T. and I wanted to congratulate you on those awesome Babe Ruth postcard pickups. I originally owned the "hands on hip" one before selling it to Jeff earlier this year. Super investment card, especially considering the excessive demand for early Ruth memorabilia. Enjoy!

Hey Joe! Thanks for the post and I wouldn't have any of these without you and Jeff. Also, thanks for all your input and friendship the past few years.

O/T, but Thank You, Bryan for the Rhythm section:

Picked up a Blue Jocko Conlan Diamond Matchbook to go with my Red one... Also picked up a lot of 52 of the 1930 Blue Ribbon Cubs/White Sox cutouts(not quite sure what the top 2 in the last pic are, I'll post better scans once they're in hand).

Five more EPDGs
 

Thanks to Jonathon via the The Rudy Strejc Collection, I was able to add five affordable EPDGs:

Erick, like the run of EPDG. Most likely my last card until after I buy some Xmas presents.

A couple of sweet pick-ups!

Got this nifty French RPPC from a German seller. I can't tell if it is hand-tinted or printed that way.

Closing in on this set, picked up this card tonight in Bagger's auction for a very reasonable price.

More M101-6 Felix Mendelsohn's - love these cards; thanks Tim!

I finished my 1940 Play Ball upgrade and have a nice vg/ex+ set with 1 crease inthe whole thing...already upgraded that card once and its very minor. I'M DONE!

Love the Sam Rice rookie-era, Chris!

75% of T206 Cobb's
http://i1054.photobucket.com/albums/...rtraitPSAA.jpg

Eugene, I lost out on your green Cobb by $4.06, I was the other bidder. I was out by the time it ended thinking I had it, but no and here it is to remind me to have buy an I-phone. Good pickup!

Gomez..

I'm glad you don't have an I-Phone (luckily I was home b/c I don't have an I-Phone either). It seems like they don't pop up in poor condition at auction that often.

3 cards, 3 upgrades and 2 from the Sun Times show. The show was as small as Ive ever seen, very little pre WW, less kids and overall disappointed. I did get to know Andy G, Matt (kzoo) and Bill (dont know screen name or last name) better and enjoyed the day with these characters!

Hello rainier

Where is SunTimes show at?

I live on west coast mid Fla and dont get to go to any of these type of shows. Would be great to go to smaller shows and meet some of the net54ers.

Real nice cards. One of the most beautiful to look at sets out there. Look so much better high grade.

Its in Chicago, every year the week prior to Thanksgiving and again in the Spring. I think 400 tables seems to be the concensus guess, but this year seemed much lower for whatever reasons. Only found 2 tables with Cracker Jacks, tons of 1960s stuff. Up here Chicago and Cleveland is our only action. I was thinking of starting to venture to Pittsburgh or Philly.

Which Cleveland action do you speak of? I'm way out of the loop, but aside from the one big April show, what else is usually in this area?

That was about it and the National. 1-2 shows/year is rare for us. I havent been to a show in Michigan in years.

Just got this one:
