Posted By: <b>Darren</b><p>Hey Darren,<br /><br />That attached thing-a-ma-jig on the bottom of the card really takes away from its presentation. Don't ya sometimes feel like cracking the card out and cutting that thing off <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14><br /><br />Really nice pick up!

Posted By: <b>Mark Marvelli</b><p>Leon<br /><br />I just noticed, for the first time, that Nebinger is missing the ending quote marks from "Big Eater". What do you suppose is the story behind this?<br /><br />

Posted By: <b>Jeff Lichtman</b><p>Leon, wasn't that just in REA or Mastro?

Posted By: <b>MVSNYC</b><p>very cool piece Leon...do we know why Ruth is wearing the black armband? who died that year?

5th May Pickup Thread
 

Posted By: <b>leon</b><p>I never noticed the other quotations missing on the Nebinger Bigeater. It's missing on the one I have for sale too or I would have to be looking for Kevin S to see if he handled these before me <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14>.<br /><br />The Pathe Frere's Ruth card was in the recent Mastro auction. I bought it as an upgrade as mine has the two side borders trimmed away. It is one of my fave Ruth cards/poses...<br /><br />The armband is probably to memorialize Ray Chapman's death but I am not positive.....<br /><br />edited to add...I love Mastro and REA auctions but this Ruth is one of those things that can get lost in a 1700+- lot auction....especially if it's not in with the cards, as it wasn't.....

Posted By: <b>Jason L</b><p>on that Close Candy card!<br /><br />I don't collect those, but may I ask - is that the only card with that image, do you know?<br />if so, what might be the cheapest option if I wanted to obtain one?<br /><br /><br />I ask, because sometimes, the images are used in multiple issues, and my vintage knowledge is limited to tobacco cards, mostly...<br />thanks,<br />Jason

Posted By: <b>leon</b><p>I don't "think" that Crawford image is used on any other cards but not positive. A regular Crawford in gd-vg should be in the 500-800 range....imo

Posted By: <b>leon</b><p>Richard- thanks.....I figured there was another that is why I was a little "hesitant" in my response. A Crawford E271 would cost multiples of an E94 Crawford in gd+.....<br /><br />Darren- I guess I have 20-30 Ruth cards now....not too many mainstream ones...
