Beauty Dan. If I recall correctly, there was a group find of '14 CJ's that had around 13 Cobbs that came to market in 2007. They all had similar bleeding to the top borders as yours.

I believe they were auctioned off during the All-Star game festivities. I recall this because I was lucky enough to attend the Home Run derby that year in SF and went to the card show that was held at the same time.

Found the link to the auction.

Looking up this thread it has certainly been a great month for forum collectors. Wow. I could retire on what has been shown. Glad to add this ad photo proof (I call it a premium so it fits more with my collecting habits :) ) to the collection... It boomeranged from my first collection....old habits and all.

Fun pickup.....although not really one that fits the collection. Still, not often you come home with a T206 in a PSA 9(OC) holder, especially a HOFer with a tougher back.

You really save on image scanning time if you can reacquire cards like this :) That is a great photo! Love the car. Joe

Very nice Jeff, blazer :eek:

Thanks Chris! And thanks everyone for the kind words....been a fun month!

I'd never seen these before and picked up the group for less than $20 each.

Totally iconic!

That will work.

Wow, what a thread! All truly amazing cards! I was very excited to pick this up, although it took 23 days to be delivered from Ohio, and I live in NYhttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...d3a7a46967.jpg

My seventh and last 1936 Goudey R322 back variation arrived for Kiki Cuyler, completing another HOF page. This brings my R322 master set to 167 of 176 and perhaps I can finish this one in 2021!

Also made another hit to my 1967 Laughlin World Series set with "write for entire set of 63" ad text on the back. Need another 20 or so.

Nice Spike, I seem to remember when you started this quest. It's nice to see how far you've come with it. Hopefully 2021 is the year.

The USPS stars aligned to make Decemeber 26th another Christmas for me :)

Nice Goudeys Chad.

Last Pick Up of 2020
 

Ok I lied when I said I made my last pick up of 2020 earlier in this thread. This Joe Tinker is actually my last pick up of 2020. Very happy to close out the year with a HOFer that was a pick up goal for 2021!

Never seen them before either, very cool. Sweet deal, too!

Wow great pickup.
You are lucky
That’s a beauty

Jeff

Ben, great pickup, new set project? I had been thinking of picking that one up for a few weeks as an upgrade.

Great cards this month everyone!!!
