1968 3D Maloney No Dugout

I wanted a Western Association player, so K.C. is one of the cities, right? Denver or Sioux City would've been pretty cool, too, but Kansas City it is. Except I didn't realize that K.C. also had an American Association team, and the only ways to tell the difference are either the uniforms or the rosters. Long story short, I got lucky.

This time.

Edited to add: Nope. Incorrect. Wrong. Upon further review, American Association.

1st Greenberg
 

The back is beat but I got a really good price on it. I've been eyeing a Greenberg card for a while, happy to say I now own one.

Hurricane Ian
 

My pick up is electricity. It has been restored to my house in the aftermath of major hurricane Ian. It makes ALL the difference. I have been told that because our neighborhood is just across the street from Gulf Coast Hospital, we are on what is called "the hospital grid". I now believe it, as we have power when so many do not. We have air conditioning, washer/dryer, lights, YouTube TV, Amazon Prime, wifi, email, internet, all the things we take for granted. Our house made it through this, the roof, the pool cage, the big oak tree in back. The only damage is our wooden fence in the back yard is destroyed; tossed around like kindling. It was flattened by Irma, rebuilt, and now gone. There were a million shingles in the yard from other houses, and a million leaves from the oak tree, shrubs, and bushes. We live between US 41 and I-75. This was the mother of all hurricanes. We know now that storm surge simply isn't a problem for us where we are, but across US 41 is where the devastation begins. Along Fort Myers Beach, Estero Island, downtown, Whiskey Creek and along the Caloosahatchee River into Cape Coral, and the islands of Sanibel, Captiva and Pine Island, it looks like Hiroshima or Nagasaki at the end of WW2, just absolute destruction. We are so fortunate where we live here in the Brookshire community. I was in the Navy for 26 years...typhoons in the Pacific, hurricanes and superstorms in the Atlantic...wildfires in California...I could go on and on. Hurricane Ian was by far the worst tropical storm I ever went through. In the eyewall, with winds well over 100 mph, it sounded like a freight train. I thought the house was going to shake apart. But we made it. And day 3 after, we have running water and electricity and all that goes with that. Still only a few gas stations and other places open, with lines that go for blocks. But we made it. My pick up is electricity.

Glad you are safe James...Jerry

Jim, you are definitely one of the lucky ones.

I picked up a few new Cobb’s, plus a few others that I haven’t had the opportunity to snapshot yet.

Sterling pickups just arrived today. Another great auction Lee!

Cubby time

Great Evers EPDG! Congrats.

Apologies I know not prewar but as close as I'll ever be to period Knickerbocker Nine

Excellent cards everyone. Loving the Evers Waz!

live along Treeline just north of Daniels Parkway, everything ok, except no city water. That sucks. 2nd Hurricane since we lived here, Irma 2017, then this one.

👍

Glad you're okay, Joe. You're even further inland than we are. We consider ourselves blessed here given all the destruction west of us.

Beyond excited for this one…

Always wanted a "felt" blanket!

Usuallly they are faded or have run after coming in contact with water.

Great transaction with Luke to get a solid upgrade to my beater Collins. Love that BST!

Bill

Add another T206. Great card at a very fair price from the BST and Tony A. (once again)
Always a pleasure, Tony! We have similar tastes...

From the September Brockelman auction.

Nice pick up Lucas, glad a member got that one.

Thank you, Phil!

Cycling for days

Thanks to another Net54 member for my 1939 Ted. Down to six for the 1939-41 Play Ball run, with no biggies. The end is in sight!

Great Value for the images
 

1887 Old Judge Abner Dalrymple
 

Thank you, Jay for my 1st Old Judge and oldest card all in one purchase.

To top it off, it's most likely a distant relative of sorts and shared last name.

Win-Win-Win.

Thank you, Jay, already needing another. lol

My first Turkey Red. thank you iconsportscards for the sale.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...a003b525b8.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...1b9c23364c.jpg

Phil, I have one of those Ed Walsh t206. That is just a great looking card, IMO, one of the best in the whole set. Congrats on picking up all 3!

Thanks James,
I agree on the Walsh, one of my favorites in the set and the 1st T206 I ever bought. Took me a while to find a nice upgrade.

1933 WWG #85 Jimmy Foxx
 

Bought this Foxx' card and I think I got a good deal even though it's a beater. Happy to add it to my collection.

It's one of those cards where the creases don't take away from the image, congrats on the pick up

Cubs off backs :)
