Reposted to the correct thread…

They’re rough, but I was able to pick up 3 cards towards my 1933 DeLong set build, including two HOFs. I’ll be sending them to SGC and if they get 1’s, I’ll be happy.

This group puts me at 4/24 for the build.

I was not expecting to receive a framed display with an N172 Radbourn in addition to this N284 I picked up on ebay. Great start to the year

To add to a theme.

Two crossovers from PSA added to my OJ collection, along with a group scan:

Pioneers
 

That's pretty cool Ed!!...I think a few of those guys may be Cap Anson...Jerry

Actually, this is my best Cap Anson image.

Great addition to your collection Ed.

Those are crisp beautiful images

Buy the card…

Added to my collection of Significant Others . . .

Awesome piece from a fellow board member.

Here my contribution to the January pickup for our forum

3 More T206s
 

3 More T206s toward the set.... 45 to go!

George Manion - Thanks to Lee and his staff at Sterling Auctions

Joe Doyle-Thank you Trent King for an excellent trade and a win / win for both of us! Would recommend doing business on the BST with him anytime!

Frank Smith - Thank you Marc Bourgea for an excellent transaction! Would recommend doing business on the BST with him anytime as well.

Wow Jeff, GREAT looking example of a very tough variation. Congrats, that’s a keeper

Wazoo, very nice combo; the Chance CB is super tough

Tim, great eye on those; the Manion is particularly nice

Trimmed OJ
 

Missing ad text at the bottom, should look like these two (not mine). I think thats a bad miss by SGC:

Looks like a pretty bad miss by me too! Thanks for the heads up...I'll reach out to SGC.

Great looking card, congrats!!

Won this last night in memory lane

Incredible pickup. Congrats!

Fantastic pickup.

That is a dream card and a great addition to any collection


Congrats

Congrats, Ryan - I'm very happy for you! And, I'm very happy for me because I'm sure I'll be able to see this incredible Ruth PC up close at the Feb. 10th Net54 get together!

The item I most coveted in Memory Lane is this Ruth-Cobb "card." But then again, I love rarity and neat advertising more than many/most collectors. If I had deep pockets, this "card" would have sold for much more. Hope a Net54 member won it. https://memorylaneinc.com/site/bids/...e?itemid=79592

Great postcard Ryan, I've been trying to definitively put a date on that image for awhile now.

Happy to have won this double weight 1911 U&U photo of Chief Meyers, in full gear, from RMY.

That is awesome, what is it and how big / small is it?

Doug

If you ever come to Hot Springs to see the spot that was taken, let me know. That's a grail photo for me. Congrats

Two 1926 Sports Co. Of America (a/k/a Spalding Champions) cards with the scarcer ad backs from Board members. Thanks to Matt G. for the Bucky Harris and to Paul S. for the Sam Rice. I'm especially thrilled to get the Rice card for my master collection of his cards, despite there being 90% paper loss on the back, because I've been looking for this card for many, many years.

Always exciting to see you pick anything up! I know it's going to be rare as all get out whatever it is!

I will, and thanks. Jeff, let me know if you get a date figured out- right now I am content with circa 1915!

Congrats Val. Bring those to the get together

Stunning PC! Congratulations!

Bill

Made a most excellent trade with a fellow board member. Needless to say I’m more than happy. 😄

With that being said 1st pre-war pickup in months.

Thanks Doug, it is a Philadelphia Team Issue. Probably issued in 1945 or a little earlier. It measures 7x10.

Complete!
 

Well, finally found a T3 Lou Criger that fit my set and i have completed my T3 set (boxers and variations included but only two “no offer” variations - one being Mathewson). I didn’t have to pay too much for the PSA 5 (older grade but still nice, clean no creases). Fits my set which is a 4/5 set. Luckily i bought most of the set over 20 years up to 2017 except a few, and I bought all of the keys early on.

Congrats, Paul, that's awesome!

I've been focused on overlooked 19th Century players lately -- "Piano Legs" had a very nice career.

Ray finally made it to my office today …
 

He’s been in Des Moines since Wednesday, but with blizzard conditions, below zero air temperatures (the post office suspended all deliveries Thursday) and then the MLK holiday yesterday, he didn’t make it the less than one mile to my office until today. Worth the wait. Number 407 towards a complete T206 set with Howe’s stamp. Number 408 should be here before months end.

Congrats Ed, almost to the home stretch.

Picked up a second George Kell this month from another great board member.

Almost prewar. I don’t collect autos, but I saw the Berra documentary and found a new respect for his greatness, making this uniquely attractive to me.

These look good fam.

Won these in REA last night, my first foray into OJs. I thought the image quality was pretty decent, but then I saw Greg's OJs in this thread - wow! :eek:

Won this in REA last night

WOOT!!

Thanks to a Net54 member, I now have my second Washington Senator T-206 card.

Yeah me!
