March Pickup
 

Picked these up yesterday (3) M101-5s and met up w/fellow collector and N54er Greg. Great conversation, Thanks again Greg!!

My first Obak, Monte Pfyl. After seeing so many pictured here on this forum, I decided to get one and see what they were about. I think I picked a nice looking Obak and a player with a curious history. Monte Pfyl had just 1 sip from his cup of coffee as a Major Leaguer. He made his 1 and only plate appearance on July 30th, 1907 with the NY Giants and got a sac bunt. That was all his Major League playing time. I can imagine Old John McGraw yelling down to the other end of the bench, "Hey kid, go get your bat." Then telling him to lay one down.

By the way, these Obaks are pretty neat cards.

Thanks to Erick for a great transaction!

Glad I could help you out, Rob.

'33 Gehrig
 

I love looking at all of your vintage cards guys and enjoy reading about rare cards I've never seen before. I may not be on your level, but I did just pick up a '33 Goudey Gehrig #92 SGC 60 (5). Nice centering.

Demmitt St Louis from the Chicago Show Last Weekend
 

This was the raw Demmitt (St. Louis) from the Chicago Sun Times show last weekend. Took it straight over to SGC. Nice for the grade, no creases, clean - I'm very happy with it! O'Hara left to go to be "Complete minus Big 4" (instead of "Big 5")

New pickups. I've finally realized that I may never get Griffith's real RC, so his T206 will have to do for now.

Also, finally found a Doby Leaf!

welcome
 

Welcome to the board, Pete. Great looking Gehrig too. You just can't go wrong with that card. Very classic. Thanks for joining in the reindeer games too. As for being on anyone's level, to me, we are all "collectors".

It's nice to own a Hugh Duffy other than my t206.

Nice Cobb Josh!

Pete, nice OJ. Is it the scan or is that card black & white instead of sepia? If b&w, I've never seen one before.
Also interesting is that Greenwood is a lefthanded second baseman.

A few off Ebay.........the Pratt is an E220 that was slabbed wrong...

I picked up the two S&S cards from friendly and helpful board member Andy Garden. Thanks, Andy. And I won the Hubbell postcard off of Ebay. Sorry for the super large scans, I'm still try to figure out how to resize.
