Ruth from a board member, Thanks! Love it!

Team PC from ebay...

Well today is my birthday! So heres my gift to myself lol

Also the last card of 2019 since now its Christmas season, so time to give to others!

Always loved that mint green background on the Walsh Portrait. And those two Old Judges have just about the clearest and most crisp images I've seen.

Ty Cobb is looking a lot like Satan in that H.M. Taylor PC... love it!

Great looking cards, everyone!

Picked up this tougher Lombardi no black ball variation from a board member!!
I posted the more common black ball also, so you can see the difference

Excellent start to December. Great looking PCs Erick, and C-Mack, that is a nice looking Walsh.

Thanks! I’m sure there’ll be lots of great things posted soon with all the auctions ending this month!

Thank you!

Wow, the image clarity on those Old Judges in the first post are amazing. :)

Couldn't help it
 

I couldn't help it. These guys are hilarious and this set is awesome, for me anyway.

Thanks, I was very happy to purchase them. Having over a 100 old Judge cards, these are the two best images of all of them. Almost like they were printed yesterday.

Have added to my 1911 T205 Brooklyn team set, now at 8/13 with #9 arriving tomorrow, but even more excited about the custom display that just arrived today. My bud David at Cigar Box Cards puts these together and always blows me away with his work.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...d800ea0a0d.jpg

December-ish pickups
 

These have been trickling in over the past week, but the Mathewson is a bona fide December baby.
Picked up this morning from FedEx and very pleased!

Will do! Now those with keen eyes may recognize I'm missing the most expensive guys other than Wheat so it could be a while. [emoji2]

Great cards everyone!

Jason, Love that Matty CJ, super pick up

OMG and WOW are all I can say. I really really like that. Is there a link for Cigar Box Cards? Well done sir.

I am happy to DM you the info. David doesn't have a website.

Thanks!

E90-1 Young
 

Love this card. BA stands for badass as far as I'm concerned!

Great start to the month fellas! The clarity on those OJ's is amazing! Love the CJ Matty Jason and that Brooklyn display is pretty cool!

Nice Cy Young Dan! I agree, my favorite Cy Young card by far!

Thanks Paul!

Completed set.......
 

Thanks to a Net54 member I was able to complete my 1941 Play Ball set. I've been looking for a very nice PSA 4 Joe D. for a long time. I'm very happy to have this sweet one.

I was able to acquire another example of these strange game pieces in Sterling last month. It just arrived yesterday and I'm very happy with it.


.

Dorgan pose 14. The "plate" example was in the last Brockelman Auction, so I assume this pose is kind of difficult. Note this one is a little different at the caption. http://www.brockelmanauctions.com/It...5319a_med.jpeg

Great looking version of a classic card. Congrats.

Thanks...…….passed on many before this one. Patience paid off.

Been lookin for this one for a while............

1946-47 Fotos Postcard of the Almendares Baseball Club, from Cuba. Featuring Buck O'Neil. While the Hall of Fame has already named the Ambassadorial Award for him, I still have hope that he will be formally inducted at some point - perhaps next year. Thanks to Ryan Christoff for the auction, and the very generous free shipping gesture!! Very pleased to finally get a "period" O'Neil.

A couple Philly Show pickups:

Something from Gehrig's magical MVP '27 season.

I have wanted this one for a long time, finally pulled the trigger on one.

.

Stoked on this Rapps. Others are sweet as well, but this green type 2 goes with the orange one I already have awesome. Seriously, two different type 2 E100s of the same player, different colors? Never thought I could do that.

E94 Cobb
 

That's a heluva Cobb Jeff...Jerry

a few more additions.............

Mercy!

Struck out in REA last night so picked this one up as a consolation prize

Great looking Cobb. Love the color, pose and rarity.

Picked these up at the Philly Show, along with some '56 Topps cards.

Very nice Speaker!

Thank you sir!

I picked up the newest addition of "Beckett Vintage Collector".

Our very own Leon Luckey (owner Net54) is quoted in an article.

https://covers.magazinecloner.com/covers/191676.jpg

Are the BVs in this the same as the Beckett Almanac? I have an Almanac from last year and noticed some prices were different than what was in this magazine. Was just curious.


Will get around to reading the stories soon. Just looked through to see what my cards' prices had done recently since I hadn't picked up a vintage Beckett since last summer (2018).

Great Pick-ups All. With all the auctions closing, I expect December will be a stellar month.

Jeff, that is one heck of an E94 Cobb. Very clean.

The T215 is from Heritage and the balance is from REA.

Way to go Ryan!! When I first saw that Kotton Cobb I immediately thought that you need to go after that one. Congrats on a fantastic haul.

1878 Forbes Co. Trade card
 

Because I struck out at REA and it's 140 years old

Holy Shit
 

Holy Shit Ryan!!....Jerry

Pick Ups
 

Nice Williams Caramel Wagner Ryan!

Hasn't arrived yet, just added after being shut out at REA. Had to console myself.

-Ryan can parallel park a train.

-Behind Ryan's beard is another fist.

-Once a cobra bit Ryan's leg. After five days of excruciating pain, the cobra died.

-Ryan can pick oranges from an apple tree and make the best lemonade you've ever tasted.

-Ryan can hear sign language.

-Ryan knows Victoria's secret.

Thanks everyone.

Michael, I think picking oranges from an apple tree and making lemonade with them is an awesome super power - I wish I could do that (as well as the other stuff on your list).

Finally Pulled the Trigger
 

Being a small fry that always wanted a Cobb portrait knew I`ve have to take my time and have to be a little lucky. Thankfully a fellow "54`er" Don Hontz was more than willing to work with me and we made it happen. Transactions like this are what makes the B S T board the 1`st and often the last place I look for collection additions. Great items this month, keep them coming.

t213-3 and 216-3
 

Nice Red Cobb..


T213-3 now at 38/70...

shop Ed H's card page for more deals like these t206.monkberry.com

Really excited Tim's work came today. Love the Wagner so much.

Tim's work is awesome, congrats to that!

This one puts me one step closer to the Matty back run.

The whole room looks amazing!

Gorgeous! I love mine! Looks like one from the BSF!!!

That's what I thought. I wonder if Tim will make 12 more of them? :)

It is. I bought the card for one kid when they were born, asked Tim to make a "copy" for the other kid when they were. So they're like a set. Felt like a 6 year old on christmas morning opening the box.

Joe - amazing Wagner. i really want one if those!

Steve - great Matty. Congrats

Rob - nice looking Tinker

My Hunt pickup.

I was scrolling through this thread and I'm blown away! At first, I was going to say "nice card" to this guy and "nice Wagner art" to another guy. After looking at all of it..."Nice stuff to all!"
This is more fun than the day the Heritage Catalog arrives! I'm new to these forums so, please forgive me for being Captain Obvious for awhile. There are some really beautiful items on here!

Gotta love the ultra fast shipping of REA. Wasn't expecting this yet!

Finally picked up a Mordecai Brown T3. A beater but still..

Chief Meyers T205 back run complete!
 

Finally picked up the last back I needed to complete my Chief Meyers T205 back run!

A T205 Meyers with a Cycle back arrived this morning from TN. The last two backs, Piedmont Factory 42, and Cycle proved difficult to find especially in nice condition. I settled for slight paper loss on the back of each.

Even picked up an American Beauty (green) T205 along the way!

A busy December for me. Lelands, Heritage, and REA.

Holy Shiz!
A lifetime and then some of collecting for almost anyone! Congrats!

Great job Steve—beautiful cards. Just stay away from Old Judges 😉.

Nice Nadja Caramels pickup, Steve. I never tire of seeing the various cards with this Matty pose. Since you mentioned your back run in your post, I believe this obligates you to show your progress in the current back-run thread! :D

Thank you.
