Thanks Chuck, apparently my centering OCD started at a young age.

Thanks Andy,
Funny part is I probably have more $$ in the Newsboy and Texas Tommy than the 6 "kid" cards. Sad part is I had a 14CJ Wagner and a 48 Musial with that group that I sold for $600 when I was a young man on hard times.

All part of fun collecting stories.

Hope you and the family are well.

Great pickups! Very jealous! If you ever decide to upgrade, I would gladly take them of your hands haha

Picked this up from Turner over in the BST section. A goal for this year was to add a T210 or T211 Memphis player to the collection, so it's nice to have that knocked out within the first two weeks. Very excited about this one.

(Haven't gotten around to scanning it myself, so just borrowing the scan from the BST post)

Nice Upgrade for my W522 Set

That's a great looking Weaver

Y'all are a bad influence on this board. I find myself reluctantly getting into the T206 portrait game.

Universal Toy & Novelty Co. printed a variety of 10-card strips in the 1919-21 era that include these W529-1 boxers. Note the title text on the middle cards of their strip; all 1919-21 Universal boxing strips appear to be W529-1s.

Seven of these arrived this week, cutting my needs to #6 Fulton and #9 Dempsey. Fingers crossed I can finish it off this year.

Congrats! I almost pulled the trigger on that card about 10 times but I'm really trying to hold off expenditures ATM. It's a beauty!

I picked up my first Zeenut PCL this month. It's not in the best condition but I wanted to start small and work my way up.

Huge huge add for my Wajo back run. Absolutely loving this guy. #30!

Jay, fantastic.

Nice pick up Jay, back collectors are a special breed.

Congratulations Jay

Really pleased to add these Sport Kings this weekend
 

The Cobb was the final image I was after for my Cobb run, but I'm sure I'll get sucked in again at some point... :rolleyes:

Wow, Jay! That WaJo is a beauty!

Thanks, Patrick!
23 1910s (+6 given to family members) and 27 1911s (+1 given to family member).

I love back runs.

2 questions :

Can we see them all?

Which player has the most?

Finally back from SGC

1909 Baseball Team - The Hub Clothiers - Bloomington, Indiana
 

Nothing fancy or expensive, but I like pre-1920s photo postcards of everyday folks playing baseball.

Some star power for my still growing '33 Goudey set!

If you need to find a home for your lesser example, I might be your guy. Very nice looking W522. I hate when I forget to bid on cards I’m watching...nice grab!

Picked this up in the last Heritage auction:

Awesome pick-ups. Jay, that Red Hindu is out of site. My first, three 2021 pick-ups and Heritage is around the corner

T206 HOF Portraits
 

While this isn't on the same level of those amazing Red Hindu's, I'm happy to pick up another this month toward my HOF Port collection with a back I didn't have.


Bill

Very nice Speaker Ryan, congrats on the pick up.

Martens Cobb
 

Cool Ryan...when did you pick that up??...Jerry

Ryan, nice start for the New Year, awesome Cobb. Nice pick up’s by everyone, enjoy

That’s a fantastic combo

Two upgrades for my Sam Rice collection. Now, my Rice card that I most need to upgrade is a W575-1.

Thanks guys. Jerry, I picked it up yesterday- should arrive tmrw.

That Huggins Tolstoy is a great combo, and Val, congrats on the upgrades

Pair of rare impulse buys. Heritage and eBay.

Beautiful Matty!

Nice addition to my otherwise modest Big Train collection from the most recent Hunt auction.

Added another E98 to my set. I really love the orange backgrounds in this set.

E270 Red Border Colgan's Chip: Frank Owens
 

Thrilled to have this E270 Red Border Colgan's Chip of Frank Owens, which arrived today.

Many thanks to Ed H.

Patrick

That's a beautiful red border Patrick. Nice pick up.

Thanks Andy!
 

Thanks Andy! I'm excited about picking this one up.

Just emailed Old Cardboard so that they can add Frank Owens to the confirmed E270 list.

Nice! Just got my 1921 Chas O’Leary back from SGC today. Only got an A but that is fine. With that said, I am done submitting to SGC. Fortunately I also got my silks and T210 back non graded as with the way they were dropping the ball, was not quite sure what was going to happen. Going to try CSG for the silks and T210 as they seem reasonable and they actually have someone answering the phone and returning phone calls.

Fresh back from SGC

I've been a bit obsessed in obtaining a Johnson portrait for a while now. Had to be a 150 SGC green label with strong borders and good centering. The way the value of this card is increasing and good examples are becoming more scarce I thought I may have missed the "Train".

For me, this one hit all the marks.

I was really excited for this addition. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...90344d8f2b.jpg

Picked up my first Joe Dimaggio card. Very happy

Sweet cards, those are the epitome of cards that you pick up however you can find them! Totally under-appreciated set!!!

Sold a shiny superstar auto card to help feed the need. I’m very pleased with this month considering how bonkers things are.
