Nice Ruth! Congrats Pete

Sort of a pick up for me. Was able to get a nice bump for my Gehrig at the White Plains show last weekend:

Packs-- that is gorgeous. What a great buy. Eye appeal.

I have decided to tackle the "caramel monster". Here are a few of the pick ups.

two new ones
 

A new Tolstoi and AB350F

Not a high value card but anytime I grt to adda pre-war issue to my HOFcollection its a big deal to me.

New Computer!
 

I finally have a new computer up and running after being with out a desktop for over 6 months after the last one crashed. I was able to lurk on the board for that time, but posting anything from my phone was sort of a pain and I certainly didn't know how to show anything from my phone. But anyway, I picked the following four cards up from The National and I just wanted to shout out a hello and thanks to all those I saw and talked to at the National. Everyone from the board is always so polite and friendly and great to talk to. I want to especially thank those board members from which I bought cards from and from those board members that I was considering buying from, but ran out of money...sorry!:( These four cards, an E98 Tenney which I just had to have another, and the 3 Turkey Reds...my new set that I'm pursuing, came from board members Michael Peich, Ed Hans, Tim Newcomb, and Gary Nuchereno.
Thanks Guys! Enjoy! I love all the great cards from this month!

Nice cards all

Some gorgeous cards coming in this month, guys.

Pete, I'm a sucker for a Ruth or Gehrig Goudey. To get one from each at the same time, wow. Very nice!

T206collector, that's a really nice Cobb. Nice clean lines on the edges.

Daryl, I really need to sit down and learn about the Mello Mint cards. I know enough to appreciate that they are to get. And I love that you got one of Hughie Jennings. Every time I see him on a card, especially with his famous "Eeyah" pose, I can't help but smile.

numbers 32 and 33 toward the Nadja set. Really must thank the board member sold these to me. Not only did he give me a fair price, but he also held them aside for me for a few months while I gathered up the money to pay for them...Thanks Jerry

Awesome pickups DJ! And kudos to the board member who worked with you - that's what this board is all about.

Broken the scanner out tonight. Here are a few pickups for this month.

I'm starting to really like to T206 set. This could spell trouble :D:D

a new one
 

I believe this is a tough combo; 3 SGC graded and 1 PSA. Pinhole, writing and paper loss on the NY on the front, but otherwise a beaut! :D

Great pick ups!!!
 

love the T206:)

A few upgrades and some I've been wanting.

Nice pick-ups, Kenny, especially the Dreyfuss & Dobie Moore.

Erick--great Hindu.

Anyone else see the correlation though?

Whose mark is this?

The first seven of the eight T206s I just picked up.

Thanks guys.

Great pickups this month so far just scored my 45th this past week. Very excited to be closer to my first goal.

Very Nice Jesse

Good back mail day:

nice haul
 

Nice haul, Luke. I love days like that!

Thanks Erick :D

Bill,

Nice pickups. I love these kind of days.

Regards,
Marty

Luke,

Nice cards. Love those backs.

Marty

Thanks, Marty. I wish they'd happen a little more frequently. I have such a long way to go..

Coupon Type 3
 

Got this nice Coupon Type 3 off of ebay. :)

I think it's actually a type 2. Regardless it a cool card.

Type 3
 

Hi Dean, I know - that is why I put the :) in there.

1939 Exhibit Robert Moses ''Lefty'' Grove

.... I own or have owned close to a hundred of these salutation exhibits and I've seen many hundreds of others for sale , but I do not recall ever seeing a pronounced mis-cut on any exhibit card..they obviously had some pretty good quality control on the mechanical process .

..do any of you have a mis-cut 1939-46 Exhibit or recall seeing any ?

...if this were a T206 I'd be getting phone calls at three A.M. begging me to sell it.... You know who you are....

My 8th T206 card purchased just came in. Here's an image I did of the 8, including the Pastorius.

Oh, how I love Photoshop.

I also discovered I've been doing something incorrectly when scanning. I changed the sequence a little, and now the scans are perfect. No tweaking of levels needed at all. Just run the Canoscan toolbox, checkmark to show the display driver, use the recommended color settings, and click the blue scan button in the preview window. For some reason, it wasn't color adjusting correctly before. Now it's perfect every single time. So I'm basically rescanning my entire collection. :p

Bill...love your recent pickups! You have good taste, my friend! :)

Thank you, Mike. The feeling is mutual.

I'll probably go back to saving up for another month or two with some auctions coming up, then I'll be much more active working on my collection going forward. In the mean time, I'll have 3 more T206s coming in within a few days, and some cards coming in for the vintage side. Two of those are Minnie Minoso and Mark Belanger cards, cards that will be specific to a discussion I'll be starting on the All Sports Talk water cooler board. Something I've been chewing on for a while. Something they both have in common.

Scrapbook Survivors New York Yankees
 

http://imagehost.vendio.com/a/204295...ANKEES_NEW.JPG


...lightly adhering to very thin brittle scrapbook page paper...I'll leave them as they were found except for trimming the exposed excess paper-- the backs are blank anyway...it worked out okay on the bottom two cards .. it's always nice to look at pre-war Yankees..I guess this is considered 22-year-old Scooter Rizzuto's rookie card ?

Picked up the T206 Drum in SCP last night (it appears). I have a Wiltse Uzit also, so maybe a player run is in order? ;)

from LOTG
 

Makes #49 in the new set...

That's a really nice group Bill, congrats! Nice Drum and EPDG as well.

Loving these pickups this month. I live through some of these members haha. My funds don't run as big as theirs do.

That is pretty awesome to have a T206 Drum and Uzit of the same player. :)

Thanks Eddie. I actually forgot that my Uzit was Wiltse (scans below) when I was bidding on the Drum...I realized it this morning. :)

Added another signed DS. No goals to go for a set, but keep picking 'em up.

Thank you so much, Luke! You know, it felt really good to just let loose a little bit. I'm almost at the point where I can start doing some serious work on my collection, and I can't wait.

I love the cards you picked up, too. People told me that after I'd been collecting the Monster for a while, I'd start to appreciate the different backs. They were right. They add a whole other dimension to the set for me. When I got my first Polar Bear backed card, I was pretty excited, even though it certainly wasn't a hard to get back. Then I got one of the factory 649 overprints followed closely by my first Southern Leaguer, which had an Old Mill back. Now I find when I look for cards, the backs play a very big part of my decision making. I look forward to my first Sovereign, Cycle, American Beauty and EPDG-backed cards.

Made a decent dent in the "Monster"!!

The 3rd pic is all the cards stacked up and showing off some better ones.

The Raymond is a Double Name and the Batch is a miscut with another card showing at the bottom. There are some in the lot with 2 backs showing.

The Cobb and Mathewson are from individual purchases but the rest all came from the same collection.
