Have a great day everyone!

Go big, or go home. Damn.

Go April 1 or go home :).

+1

You had me going there for a minute, Turd.

A 1943 R302-1 that I recently picked up. I guess this makes me the real April Fool.

Brian

Finally was able to pick up a card of Mike Corcoran's younger brother

'33 Berg missing some red ink

You poor unfortunate guy! Glad you finally got to fill that gaping hole in your collection! ;)

This has been on my want list for a while.

Very nice Bob!

1874 cabinet card of Wes Fisler of the Philadelphia Athletics credited with scoring the first run in MLB history.

Top of the card has "Ret(urn) to Mr Murnane". Murnane was his teammate and later a sportswriter. This photo, as a woodcut, was featured in the July 25th, 1874 Harper's Weekly magazine along with 8 of his teammates. I'm suspecting this note may be associated with that publication.

Two new t206s to the collection

Jeez, those two could make me a T206 collector all over again!

REA Gehringer Rook - stoked!!!

Found an addition for my Old Judge KC collection.

Keep me in mind if you have any Pre-War Kansas City items.

GREAT cards Brian. Congrats

Awesome, John. Looks much better than the grade.

Thanks, Sam. I think its a cool card.

RPPC of some babes.

Kleinow T206 (Boston)
 

Thanks Bob!


Patrick

Huh? https://www.ebay.com/itm/1926-Exhibi...frcectupt=true

It sold for $840 in REA.

Brian

From REA. Very pleasing.

That's mine! To quote a fellow collector, "My collection is not for sale but everything has its price!" :D

Nice Fisler, Rob.

Added another E93 HOFer that just arrived today.


.

Recently added my first Rose PC from a trade with a board member and got another of this rare PC of Ruth, also from a board member via ebay.

Added another toughy thanks to a fellow board member; matty cycle 37-1 t205. It is a respectable, centered example and it makes me happy.

Love the Nut!
 

Justin,
I love the clarity on that ZEENUT Vance...Congrats!
Tim Kindler

A fine result from a "creative" trade with Luke ..... :)

I always wanted a tougher 460 only EPDG of Gandil. Although I do not seek out double names .... I have to say it's kind of way cool ..... :cool:

Dessau has been on the top of my want list for a loooooong time .... :o ... He's just so tough with any mid-tier back ..... ;)

Fun stuff, Scott :rolleyes:

Nice eye on those.

Colgan's Mint Chips Tin
 

This nice Colgan's Mint Chips Tin arrived today.


Patrick

Coincidentally, I got it on the 45th anniversary of 715. Weird feeling now that my on/off 15-month hunt is over. EX 5.

Very nice!!!

Sweet Collins

Scott, is the word Cork missing from the back of the Gandil EPDG or is there just paper loss there?

Some great pick ups this month. Congrats all. I picked this up last night just as the NCAA game ended.

Awesome card! On my short list of must haves

............. paper loss .......... :o

Ruth m114
 

Thank you ebay...

The 1,028th Baseball Magazine supplement of my collection.

Including 18 different Ruth issues, with this one being the 7th different picture.

Always looking for more...

Grabbed this Cobb last night from PWCC. Beautiful example for the grade in my opinion... I could really see these skyrocketing in price even more, hence the reason I grabbed it.

Beautiful T227 Cobb! My favorite card of all time and I'm still waiting for the right one. Great pickup!

I picked this up at a local card shop. The printer must have been hit in the head while printing this or drunk.

Ebay bucks helped me add to my cracker jack pitcher set I'm doing

Bad Bill.

Bad Brian.
Terrific score!

Thank you, David.

Signed Cobb M114
 

I've been eyeing this one for many years, since it first showed up in Heritage Auctions four years ago. Finally was able to pull the trigger. My first signed Cobb anything, and I'm thrilled about it!

Feel very fortunate to pick up this 1937 Goudey Premiums Wide Pen Type 4 Gabby Hartnett, WAY nicer than the 1936 Type 1 I have in my collection!

Got the last two I needed for my Cj pitchers set in today

That Joe Wood is Smoking!!

The view of that old version of Wrigley's bleachers in the background is a bonus.

A few tougher T207s

Technically
 

they’re pickups....from SGC 😁

Smoky Howard
 

Never noticed that the text on the back of Joe Wood's Cracker Jack referred to him as "Joseph". Surprised they would propagate that erroneous appellation on the flip. His given name was Howard. Joe was his childhood nickname. Never was Joseph. Am probably in the minority of folks who give a hoot. Very nice card anyway.

Some very cool pickups in the past few posts (the 1915 CJ Wood, in particular, is beast). Congrats. I picked both of these up last night at LOTG. very excited (and poor).

Congrats! The fielding is a special card!

T207 ...
 

Nice cards, John - knocking out the tougher ones first. It'll keep the long-term frustration way down.

Great pickups Ryan!

Thanks yall ,great stuff everyone

congrats...one of the best cobb rookies out there!!!!!

Thanks guys. I paid up on both, but the e90-1 Wags is underrated difficult and very tough to find remotely centered, and the Dietsche- well, I figured it was pay up now or pay even more later (at least I hope)

33 Mel Ott
 

Very happy to bring Master Melvin home from the show this weekend. I really like this issue (#127) for the scowling portrait of a guy who from all accounts was a "nice guy."

Also, most of the time I like the 33's better with the banner at the bottom but I think this card looks better without.

Picked this up last night

Ryan, Brian et al, awesome cards!

I got this in LOTG...can't believe after 30 years of collecting, this is my first Goudey Ruth. Might need to chase all 4 poses now?! :)

Ryan, just another killer month for you.
Dan, nice Cobb’s.
Mikey, not sure why that Ruth is only a 2 grade, it’s a beauty.

Great looking Ruth Goudey!

New Green Cobb.

Awesome, Chuck!

NICE Chuck!!! Congrats

Needed a Mathewson for my collection. Very happy to add this one.

Yowsers! Great Matty.

Wow. Nice pickup
