August pickups
 

Almost completed the run of T210 series 8 New Orleans players (and no I don't have Jackson yet :-( ). But I like this Paige :)

This ought to be a good pick up thread with so many members at the national. I can't wait to see what shows up.

Two new miscuts
 

Hitting the National tomorrow, and hoping to add some forties. In the interim, able to get a couple of nice miscuts from Jamie and Pete.

My first and last C46 right before the National

Charles Sitton -Cleveland Naps 1909

Teddy Ballgame
 

With a bit better centering this would merit a PSA 7+.......has NM/M sharp corners, and excellent eye appeal. Nevertheless, a nice upgrade for my '41 Play Ball set. Now all I need is a comparable Joe D. to complete the set..............

Nice Plow Boy Matt! They must have sold "family size" tobacco products :p

here's my august pick up

m116 Eddie Collins
 

I'm excited to add another m116 blue background to my collection...

Thanks for letting me share!

Won in the most recent Hake's. 1925 RPPC of the St. Louis Stars, featuring HOF shortstop Willie Wells, in his earliest known image. I know it's seen better days, but I am absolutely giddy over this one! With regard to my period HOF collection - this guy wasn't even on my radar! My new fav. Love the Negro league stuff.

Picked this guy up from a fellow board member at the national. I've wanted this one for a long time.

No national for me with work unfortunately. So I picked up a rare Ruth on ebay that I'm really excited for and crossed another Cracker Jack Hofer off the checklist....

Ken:

You're making great progress on the Negro Leaguers, keep plugging away and congrats on this latest pick-up.

Now at 34..:)

Thanks Phil!

I love that e91 Baker, Rob. Great illustrations on those cards.

...

Great champions Ruth Exhibit...I have one and love it...and it's totally underrated and undervalued!!!!!

Nice array of T206 backs that AB 350 no frame is tough...and I love the scoops pose!!!!

Nice rare backs Pat

...

Thanks Peter, I'm loving that card

The fun was in the search:

nice pose...azora
 

an unusual pose and a famous pose, and card I don't have, was hard to pass up....

Bought this one the week before the National and picked it up in Baltimore........

Nice card Phil!!

Two Hindu SLers, two auto balls (Snider, Killebrew) and a whole lot of 80s wax (mindless entertainment) - from the National.

Amazing Walsh pickup Matt!

Leon's Cobb was my fav thing in HA.

That's a great pickup, Leon. I was sure Jeff was going to get that one.

Home Run Kisses
 

Just purchased from the BST. Thanks, Jim.

New slabs
 

Some of my new pickups have been in my collection for at least 10-15 years but I've slabbed them just now...some cool additions that are truly new too.
Check 'em out...

Now for my favorite purchase this year even though he isn't here yet.

My 2nd 1924 Diaz Cigarettes - George Uhle (Thanks Will)
http://www.net54baseball.com/picture...pictureid=7454

Congrats on the Diaz find. Cool cards.

Been wanting one of these for a while...Didn't win the ebay auction the other day, but emailed another seller an offer on one of his BIN's. Got it for around the same price as the auction. Happy as hell with this one.

Very cool piece.

e90-1 splurge Part 1
 

picked these up at the National. Leon/Net 54 throws a truly enjoyable dinner party. Wel done and thanks again!

Jeff

Nice piece

Very cool.

Jeff,

Congrats on a beautiful trade card. Do you by chance know where "T.C. Chittenden No. 5. Arcade" is? Any advertising on the back? Great piece. My copy and others seem to always have some registration issues but still look amazing.

Thanks all, advertising for T.C. Chittenden on the back who was a Tobacco Retailer located in Watertown, NY.

From the National!
 

I'm tapped no $$$ or drink tickets left. Nice meeting some of you at the dinner.

Thanks, Leon

Picked this up from Just Collect at the Nationals. It will be cracked out and put in my book by the end of the week...
