Oh Sh*t Phil...almost there man! Congrats on getting another chip closer. Nice example too.

Thank for the good wishes guys, its been a long haul, almost there.

E98 Cobb
 

Nice Cobb Phil...if I remember correctly the orange is pretty tough...Jerry

I had my eye on this for a while, finally pulled the trigger, happy I did.

Thanks Jerry, it is a tough card, they all seem to get tougher as I near the end.

Nice pick-up Chuck.

Chad

Great Cobbs up there.

Pete, that is such a good looking image of Babe hitting. What exact card is that called?

This just arrived.

love the cobbs...exhibits are fire as the facebooker kids like to say.

Not in the ACC therefore considered W-UNC...these cards available in 3 types...action poses baseball, portraits baseball and boxing...and often found in strips. Some have been found associated with a universal toy apparently so they are recognized as universal toy and novelty strips I believe. I also have this one purchased on this very site auction style. I'd guess distribution was early 20's?

Very nice Chuck!

Pete, the D and S on the Babe's uniform says it all.

Awesome Phil! Such a beautiful set.

Two more T3 pickups for me, just a handful left to complete the set!

Chad, congrats on the latest T3 pickups. Looks like you're down to 4. Good luck finishing the set.

Merry Christmas to me. Another Herzog added to my back run! A tougher Sweet Cap OP.

Nice pick up Andrew, congratulations. The last second, I decided not to bid. I’m glad a net54 member got this.

Thanks, Chuck. I’m thrilled to have it…. and glad you chose not to bid ;)

Can’t get enough of this one Andrew. Glad it worked out.

Andrew, I have been A Williard's collector for a long time and the Ruth is a brute to find in any kind of shape and affordable. Well done. Great pickup.

Phenomenal piece, congrats!


Tony, nice Mick— the signed ones are so low pop.

Thanks Josh, John and Matt. I’m really happy to have it.

Jeff, the Sox/Philly program is awesome. I’ve wanted one of those for a while…

I know its only a “1” but man these CJs are hard to buy reasonably priced!

Any one else a fan of Cravath?

Yes, I have a bunch of his cards. That's a great pickup, congrats!

Recent pick-up for my WaJo back run.

Chad

Great pickups everyone - amazing to see all the classic cards! ... and now for something much more pedestrian.

These were from Aug and November but I just unpacked from a move and have finally been able to get them scanned.

Two more Recruit-class anonymous backs down; only three left.

Thanks, Joe!

Very happy to add this Tabacalera la Morena to my White Sox type set from the BST pages (thanks Brian VH!)

Took the longest time to find this card in decent condition, color, and centering.

That's a beauty!

Happy to add another sneaky tough to find centered Ruth to my PC.

Proper spelling of Peckinpaugh greater than Authentic and lousy condition.

+1 try collecting the 14's!
Cravath was the MLB HR leader before Ruth came along

Pelty (Horizontal) arrived today
Last pick up for 2021...looking forward to what 2022 holds.

Beautiful Pelty. My favorite of the horizontal T206s. Great image.

Beautiful Orange E98!!!
 

Phil,

Absolutely beautiful Orange Cobb!!!! Congrats!

Forgive me for asking as you have probably posted this on another thread, but what are the 2 E98s you are still needing for your Master Set? I can keep my eye out for them for you.
Thanks Tim Kindler

W575-1
 

It's not hand cut as the flip says. Pity they still can't put what is in front of their eyes on the flip. These never have been hand cut unless trimmed. SMH

Thanks Tim,
Orange Wagner and Red Matty to go.

This came in the mail yesterday. An add to my Cleveland collection.

Thanks Andy...glad to add it to the collection!

In my opinion, thats the best looking T206. Great pick up, congrats!

Pc770
 

Happy to have won these postcards.

Is your PC770 Lajoie the one that just ended on ebay? Or were there actually two of these things available in so short a time? Regardless, great card. I was bidding on the ebay one but lost. (I was not the 2nd high bidder, so I cost you nothing).

Very nice looking postcards

Congrats

Yes, the one last night. Thanks. I don't normally go after postcards, but I found them in a search for Turner, who ups the known PC770s to 17.

Nice way to finish out the year. That's a great looking Mantle for the grade.

Wow, Adam! Go you!!!!! Thx Jeff P!

Thanks; that was my reaction as well. I nearly went after the SGC 1.5 in Sterling last month but the centering and heavy front wear were deal-killers for me. Sometimes you just have to wait for the right card at the right time. I've been saving up for two years.

Congrats Adam! That's how you end the year with a bang!

Great pickups, Adam, Pete!

Adam, absolute beautiful Mantle for the grade, congratulations

Pete, all Ruth’s are on fire, you picked up a nice one, congrats to you too

Thanks, guys. I guess I know what card tops my pick-ups for the year.

Great ALPC's, underrated cards!

Little Contentnea pickup.

Congrats everyone

We finished the month and year strong with so many amazing and great pickups

congrats everyone and looking forward to a great 2022

Happy New Year all

Awesome New Years Eve arrival Brian! Sit back, relax and enjoy that piece of artwork.

Mantle and Jackson to close it out. You guys kill me. What a great end to the year.

Nice cards everyone!

Nothing special and the condition is terrible, but I squeaked this one in at the end of the year.

Adam and Brian, EPIC pickups to end 2021. Congrats and congrats to all others
