Matty :eek::cool:

Amazing Ruth!! I guess you made the trade? I'll pay for any 1 in that shape any day and twice on Sunday!

Beautifull !!!!
Congrat !!!!!!
Why this card is 1 ? don t have the eyes appeal of a poor card

WOW!! Stunning. Congrats on an AWESOME card!

Edited: Don't want to leave out the other Matt. The Cobb and Matty T206's are awesome as well. Nice way to start out your prewar life.

There are some pretty big dog cards on this page, wow...

Added three to the set
 

Up to 381:

Sweet CJs earlier; love those cards!

And thanks regarding the Ruth-- cannot believe how nice it looks in hand. That whole, 'buy the card, not the holder' thing is so true :)

You're on the home stretch! T206s just seem to look "right" in VG grades, and those are nice for the grade.

Ahhhhh.... nice to see a proper scan of the Babe. :cool: I hear that card is somewhat hot right now. ;) Congrats!

Great cards above. Congratulations.

Here's one from JohnD on BST. Thanks.

Not bad when cards have pencil notations on the back like this one...

Congrats, nice pickups!

beggars can't be choosers... (I do have an extra Joss if anyone is looking)

I just received my first Gypsy Queen today.http://i1118.photobucket.com/albums/...ps440948c8.jpg

A good night on Ebay last weekend netted me six Series 4 cards.This being one of them.

Nice GQ Andy.

Thanks Matt on my CJs. Your Ruth is phenomenal. Great pick up!

Can't believe my bid held up.

Sick card...nicest "poor" I've ever seen! Who looks at the back of their "blank back" cards anyway??

Awesome Babe Ruth rookie card. Looks gorgeous! Congrats.

Thanks. The grading game can sure be downright silly; when it came I eyed it for so long, and then after many minutes I finally remembered to look at the back, lol!

I can't believe how grading works sometimes, for example when you look at what a 90-10 OC, creased, stained PSA/SGC 2 or 3 can cost.

To me it is all and always about eye appeal. After all, when it's just a collector and his card, he's looking at the card, at the image-- not some number some random dude put on it ;)

Great Cracker Jacks plus a Ruth Rookie and a d304 Cobb. Quite the month here on the board. Congrats!

A few nice commons
 

Nice pickups everyone.

Picked up these eight commons this month.

Best regards,

Joe

Great pickup Jason!

Thank you, John:

Happy to add this pretty tough Wagner to the collection.

Great Wagner card, Dean.

Nice pick-ups, Toby. Especially like the W. Robinson card.

Very nice Wagner, Dean

Thanks guys. I appreciate it.

Sunday pickups
 

Nothing spectacular but the T207 Block is one of the keys to the set because it is so scarce so I always pick one up when it is offered (Cardboard Classic auction) and a T213-2 Mowrey Pittsburgh.

My fifteenth cub sovereign and my favorite!Attachment 103421

A few more Chases...
 

Slowly adding to my Prince Hal collection...

It is my assumption that the first baseman on the "Trying To Catch Him Napping" card is, in fact, Hal Chase...please tell me if this is just wishful thinking on my part...otherwise, just makes sense ot have this card in my collection...

My very modest contribution: (For me, it's quite ironic this arrived today - I don't think Zack is too happy with me!)

Most impressive.

That's a really nice Zack Wheat.

Other Sean, nice Evers. I've always liked that card. :)
How many more do you need to finish the Cubs subset?

Hi sean!
Need about ten to complete my sons cubs set but if I do all sovereigns then I still need about 22 more lol paid pretty well for that one but I'm beginning to think the 150 series sovereigns are rarer then people have thOught so I'm glad to pick it up for the price of a grade better.

Hi matt!
That would most likely be fred merkle as I assume it would be a giant and not a highlander. Interstingly it does kind of resemble chase which makes me wonder if they stole a chase photo (like one of the many from the t202s) and just changed the teams.

I agree about the Sovereign 150s. I've been looking everywhere but can't seem to find a Merkle portrait with a Sov 150.

Good luck with the Cubs.

The opposing player plays for Cincinnati, so I don't see how it could be Hal Chase.:(

Doh! I'm going to go back to my little corner and eat some humble pie for dinner...guess I've always just seen what I've wanted to see. Damn! Thanks Jake...

Sorry...felt I had to do it bluntly, instead of leaving you with even a little bit of doubt that could never be fulfilled.

And please, call me Jake.:)

Thanks Jake...always better to rip the bandaid off quickly in my experience! :)

Just a small pickup. But it's a type that I didn't have, and also a rookie year item of a hall of famer.. Not that I'm a type-collector, but I like having a variety within my HOF rookie collection.. PeeWee Distarce obviously adds to the appeal.. No Hall of Fame rookie collection is complete without a midget racer...
