Ron, amazing!!!! Your set is easily one of if not the best I have ever seen in terms of 1933's.

Thanks, John. You're still a young guy, so if you continue to work hard and dedicate yourself to the hobby, you too might have a few nice cards some day. :D:D:D

A recent upgrade for the set:

That's a beautiful T205 Cobbie

Picked up this type one of Wagner with former team-mate George Cutshaw tossing grapefruits in California. dated October 11th 1936,http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/04/12/du2a2aby.jpg

That Cobb is sweet. One day....

Sebastian,

I love the schnoz on Wagner.

Thanks Brian, that guy sure had a sniffer on him didnt he.

Two very tough Zeenuts, I don't believe I had ever seen the Schwenck before...

Many thanks to Ryan for being fair, reasonable, a gentleman and an absolute pleasure to deal with, as always. I very much appreciate it.

Very nice pick-ups, Kenny.

My first Alex. Not many of these around.

Nice pickups Doug! Amazing BM collection you must have. How many more to go (that you know exist)?

Rob
:)

Thank you Phil. I was pretty stoked to get them.

Thank you, Rob.

I need about 30 M113s and 75 M114s, and I need 5 of the large (17.5 X 20) posters from 1957.

nice Grover Greg.

Great stuff this month guys.

Holy crap, Kenny! Unbelievable pickup!

I'm always a fan of an E210. That's a beautiful Alexander

Very nice Mr. Cole.

Stuff just keeps on getting better n better

Beautiful card, Ruben. That is exactly what I am trying to get.

Thanks Bill. It took some time to find one I liked. The hunt for the one you are looking for is half the fun. Good luck I'm sure there's one out there with your name on it

Congrats Rhett, the Bernard was an absolute steal. I hadn't ever seen a Schwenck before, it must be very scarce. I was busy bidding against you but gave up since I don't collect the 1912s except Portland players. Great pick-up!

I picked up this E121/80 with a Type 2 back via eBay. I now have WaJos with 3 of the 4 types of back printing. I'd sure love to find a WaJo with a Type 3 back - heck, I'd settle for a Sam Rice, or even a Joe Judge!

Picked it up yesterday, its an upgrade to my collection.

New addition over the weekend

Thank you, Justin:

April pick-up thread
 

Love the Mayo Cut Plug!!

Here are my two big pick-ups for April - both stud HOF pitchers, both issued in 1903:

Derek, great pickups! I had my eye on the Plank for several days but just couldn't pull the trigger this month.

DJ

I'll second that, great pair of pick-ups, Derek!

Great Joss, was watching that one and the Goodwin one closely.

Love the plank.

T210 8th Series
 

Getting close to wrapping up the 8th Series thanks David B. for putting these 2 cards on eBay at a reasonable price.

can't wait to see shoeless joe with the group Bob!

t206 "5" and better seem to have taken off again this month, this week even more so, at least on eBay. No idea why. One of my favorites for color, had sold lower grade awhile back so happy to replace at last.

Thank you:

Derek

Beautiful image on the Plank

Great stuff Derek! Nice pickups my man ;)

Thanks all - now let's see if I can reach a little deeper into my pockets to get some REA items!! With that many quality items, you'd think there would have to be some bargains, but if history is any indication, I'll have to pay through the wazoo to get anything I want...

REA bargain probably not to be repeated--it's no-buyers-fee for it's inaugural Fall auction last year. Only reason I went for a nice T3.

REA's inaugural Fall auction had no BP? I was not aware of that...

I thought it was free shipping, not no BP ...

Nice pickups TBob.And congrats on closing in on Series 8 completion.

A couple new T206s for my collection. Thanks, Joel!

I also picked up some educational material, the first three volumes of The Baseball Card Encyclopedia by Lew Lipset, and The Vintage & Classic Baseball Collector issue #7.

Two very interesting articles in the magazine: one on PSA and ASA, and the conflict of interest the TPGs cause by grading cards, and releasing price guides. And, an article about baseball card restoration. Funny how 18 years later, these two topics are still very much at the forefront of the hobby.

Nice looking Devore Bill.

Gary is right - there was an 18.5% buyer's premium, but free shipping.

Cheers,
Blair

Sorry that's right--just shipping. But just enough bonus to get me to go all in.
