The early bird gets the worm but the 2nd mouse gets the cheese!!

1947 Hess Shoes....

E90-2 Clarke
 

Mounting stains on the back but I didn’t mind them, beautiful front. Tough card. Always like collecting Clarke.

Happy to add a tough card that's even tougher in an off back.....

Congrats Scott! I know this one was high on your want list.

Bought this for a really good price.

Another towards a “complete” set
 

Actually struck the deal in May but the replacement card then this one arrived in June. Thanks, Jonathan.

Won five from Greg Morris last Friday and will post those when they arrive. There are also four others on my need list that I either need to find replacements for or come to a deal with the owner on. Plus I’ve heard rumors that there is a HoFer coming to someone who might be willing to part with it. Fingers crossed.

Thanks to everyone on the board who lets me know when they see one.

Added a few Cobb’s

-
Proof that I'm deep in the rabbit hole, 1911 Sacto "Big Eater", added to my West Coast type collection. Member pick up, thank you Dave.

1922 Eastern Exhibits
 

Nice Cobb…not sure why the exhibits from this set have lagged others, it’s a difficult set and for exhibits still early (1922) in the decade. Wajo, Grover C Alexander, Cobb, Ruth, Hornsby, Collins, Speaker, Heilman all in the set.

Ben, love both those postcards! I guess more and more people are reading Adams book about exhibits and the secret is getting out. Can’t go wrong with any of the 1922 Eastern exhibits loaded with HOFers

That is a great looking Big Eater. Love those things. Congrats....

Not a card but it is the end of a quest I began in the late 1970s. This is the last Orioles media guide I needed to complete my collection of printed guides and yearbooks for them and the Baltimore Colts. Time and again I was either outbid or 'out-budgeted' until I had my offer accepted last week. And it looks to be nicer than many of the ones I missed out on. It's on its way to the authenticator (I didn't know anything other than cards got that treatment) and then into my hot little hands.

Very nice card, Phil - congrats! I've yet to add one of these to my type collection.

Well. it isn't baseball but I figure two American heroes deserve the front page:

And thank you to Dan for this one.

Ben, the WW Smith Wagner may be one of my favorite postcards of his. Congrats.

You finally found one!

Some nice pick ups from members so far. Bob, congrats on closing out your almost 50 year quest, quite an accomplishment.

Val and Leon, thanks for the good wishes. Ed, yes, Dave was kind enough to let go of this one from his PC. Fun stuff.

Vintage hockey on fire
 

Picked up these two C56 key hockey rookies. There have been PSA registry fights going on in the C55, C56 and C57 that have exploded prices recently. These are really fun vintage cig cards and the only sport besides baseball to have substantial prewar sets. Trying to finish these sets so had to grab a couple nice but lower graded examples from the dupes sold off by the registry contestants.

Attachment 574349Picked up this lot at the WSSCA show. There was some really incredible stuff in the room, especially for PCL collectors.

Thanks Phil. Weirdly the guide showed up in my mailbox, directly from the seller and bypassed the authenticator.

After over 2 years of trying to educate an eBay seller what he had, I finally got this for my original offer. The seller had listed a ton of 5.00 or less crap-o-la and this item. Of course he acts like it’s the Holy Grail, and that he is representing a consignor. He ended up completely copying Dan McKees description of another currency, and started it out around 5k. Slowly he kept lowering the price and it became a quarterly thing for me to make the same offer and ask him if he was tired of paying all the fees to show it. He finally accepted and now I don’t have to see it pop up every time I do my currency search. First time I’ve made an eBay purchase in over a year as well, and after my purchase eBay wanted me to take a sports card survey which I was happy to really let them know how bad their platform has become for pre war sport cards.

nice auto that i picked up from heritage!

Attachment 574431

Absolutely awesome score.

I spent quite a bit of time in that corner, and there were at least a few folks looking at those transit passes.

Love that Schalk, Leon.

Phil, that Jimmy Lewis awesome. Love the "Sac'to!"

wow!

Hey congrats JC! Great that you got it for your price and even more that you don't have to see it in your future searches!

Love the flawless print of that T205 Cobb :)

Grabbed the e106 to go with my other Wagner.

Awesome pick up. Congrats

1928 Yuengling's
 

A F50 Schalk, cut just the way I like them. Have had it a while, but just putting it into the collection....

Sold this about a year ago and ended up buying it back last week. Love this set!

Was really happy to add a nice n162 caruthers after missing out on the last few I had seen

So excited to add this one!

Good Catch , Wazoooo
 

''

..Fairly graded , plus we could use it as a template for the honest original factory height and width.

..

I was the underbidder on this. Absolutely stunning example with rectangular corners and very little chipping compared to other low grades!

Huge thanks to Chris B, this is a major rare back for my Chase run, quite a tough combo for this pose. Up to 17 cards in the run.

Great looking run, how many cards in the total Chase run?

Thanks!

Maybe Chris can chime in, he is the resident expert on the Chase run. I think it's low-20's without coupons, and mid-high-20's with. The next card I’m seeking is the Cycle 460, then after that it gets VERY tough. But I’m really happy with where the run is at now...(I'm also busy finishing my run of all known backs in general- brands, series, factories, ink color variations.)

Looking good Mike!

I think there 28 confirmed; five coupons, a victory & 22 T206s. Maybe a blank, BL460 or Drum will show up one day.

Great pickups everyone! Pete, the signed Ruth is amazing!

Just go this via trade with a board member:

Feels awesome to be able to pair this incredibly rare Ferguson Bakery with the Fleischmann copy I had of Mathewson:

The Ferguson name is "Christy" with one line of identification, and "Christopher" on the Fleischmann with 2 lines of text.

The pair belonged together

Congrats Erik

If you bring in a miscut F50 do you get only half a scoop of ice cream?

That signed Ruth Exhibit, wow, that is my kinda card!

I had a lot of those transit passes years ago; wonder if that was my old group coming to market? Here is another sports one:

https://photos.imageevent.com/exhibi...ay%20Louis.JPG

This is actually a picture of Joe Louis from a fight he had with Lee Ramage in Los Angeles in 1935.

Thanks Peter and it’s been a while… Thanks to Adams book I read years ago, I picked this 26-29 Exhibit up which we know should be 1925-31. Plus having the blank back makes it part of the first print run dating it to 1925, as they had the various postcard backs soon after.

Big mail day for the collection
 

Kruger, McElveen, Miller, Rossman, and Spencer all came from Greg Morris Cards via eBay (actually they were part of a lot from an REA auction in May that had a group of Howe’s stamped cards).

Schmidt was one I missed when Scott was auctioning off the large lot he won from Goldin. But I knew who the winner was, and he recently contacted me to see if I might still be interested in adding him with the rest. As a surprise, he had also found a Phelan with the Urich H. McCormick - Agent, Saturday Evening Post stamp (so far only found in green) so I got it also.

These bring the total up to 390 different Howe-stamped cards on the way to trying to build a complete set, with 17 of those being his Saturday Evening Post stamps.

Great pick ups Ed, 390, wow! Keep it going and good luck.

Formerly a PSA 3
 

Fantastic card Greg.

Never been a huge fan of the 41’s, but that is a great card, Leon.

Picked this up last weekend at Midwest Monster. Have both versions now.

Thanks
Chad

Thanks! I love it.

Congrats Ed!
 

Congrats Ed!

That's a great grouping.

The green stampings are very cool.

Patrick

Great stuff guys!

Thought I'd post this in the June pick up thread, too. Thanks Ryan!

Thought I would share my T206 progress. Started early April working toward the 520 on a budget. I have 68 cards which is around 13%, with 12% of the HOFers, and 15% of the Southern League. No Cobbs just yet :(

Great start and great looking collection! Congrats!

Bill

Both on the way. An upgrade to the Griffith and another knocked off the list for the Herzog Boston back run! First pickups in at least 6 to 8 months. Trying to save for that Green Cobby :)

Bill

Attachment 575973Picked this up from my LCS

I love how the brown old mills really look brown, not so much like a lot of the Brown Lenox's I see. Great card, Michael.

Nothing fancy here, haven’t had a pick up in awhile..

41 Play Balls are underrated. Great set. Really fun to flip through the pages. Need about 5 more to complete. Picked up this Eddie Miller (somewhat tough card in nice shape, number 1 card).

Picked up these 2 T210s from a fellow member. Gets my want list down to only 4 more T210s.:)

Thanks, Leon! That means a lot coming from you.

Re: your Brown Lenox observation- you are correct, many of them are a little hard to tell...I'm fortunate to have an example where the brown pops. Attached below...

Let’s add to the Lenox party
