[pcoz]

Just picked this one up this morning. HNY to everyone!

[jason.1969]

Love it!! The back ad is the building I worked in these past 10 years. Despite the name it's in Chicago.

SWEET !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Phil68]

Those are some awfully BIG starts to 2020! Congratulations, guys.

[Phil68]

I've added a Dean that has eluded me (centered) for awhile

[Rhotchkiss]

That previously undocumented BL 350 is great. Congrats.

Pulled deals for these before New Year (and two others to post later, including a previously undocumented Jennings Brown Lenox), but its now time to post them since checks have cleared and cards are in the mail.

Thank You Jamie for the Mullaney. Its a total beast (the "holy grail of freaks" with multiple-overstrikes and a Cy Young ghost image), but equally important to me, its a Brown Old Mill.

Thank You Jeff for parting with your Brown Old Mill.

[yanksfan09]

Cool Dizzy Dean!

That mullaney has always been so cool. Congrats on it. I looked at that thing a million times when I had it. It's awesome. Glad it went to a good home with a Net54'er too .

[MVSNYC]

I think the Mullaney & Bernhard were possibly from the same sheet. Very similar multi-strikes on back, and both are SLer on front.

Thanks Leon- it’s good to know the provenance. I am psyched to own it.

Michael, thanks for posting those pics on the other thread. Very cool to see both cards deconstructed. I do believe they go side by side on same sheet, but I won’t know until I have the Mullaney in hand. I can post pics then.

[charlietheexterminator]

Ryan, another incredible month. Starting the year off with a bang

[kdixon]

S74 silks. All are Brooklyn players.

[RCMcKenzie]

Great stuff already this month, folks. This T213-3 Baker from Hunt's puts me at 39/70...

[atx840]

Wow Ryan congrats, that is my favorite error out there.

[gabrinus]

Nice type 3 Rob...Jerry

[ZiggerZagger]

I don't even know where to begin with this.

Put out a request for a few remaining T-206 HOF'ers for my set last week. Two Board members offered 3 of the cards up, and I was thrilled.

But just out of their desire to help a fellow collector, these deals snowballed into the largest deal I ever thought I'd do on Net54. When the smoke cleared, I was 54 cards up on my PSA 4-5 T-206 set, now standing at 442/520.
Not to mention taking me from needing 38 SL'ers -- which I've always been a bit nervous about starting on -- now down to needing only 15.

Everything showed up over Friday and Saturday, and it's been amazing. These board members know who they are, and I won't ever be able to possibly thank them enough!

Sorry from the picture quality, but it required an aerial photo, basically

[thecomebacker]

442 T206s in psa 4-5 is a monumental feat. Congrats on the huge pickup!

[asphaltman]

Some fabulous pickups. Geez. Mine is much more subdued, but still glad to grab a D380 to continue type card run.

[t206kid]

lots of AB460's!!!

[RCMcKenzie]

Thanks, Jerry. I'm having fun working on T213-3.

Dave and Jay, great cards. Those are hard to find cards.

Here are 3 more new ones. The Howell I picked up b/c he is a 350 in T213-1. The other 2 are the 2 Anon backs. I try and get these b/c they are relatively cheap for what they might be, Coupon and Drum...

Hardly! Great card, Dave. One of my favorite D sets.

[phikappapsi]

only two pickups planned for January. I've decided, generally, to adjust my inclinations under the premise that everything is altered/trimmed. So I'm buying beautiful cards that already recognize this "fact" with a big "A"; or in the case of the Robinson; an item that had round corners to begin with, so it's presumably less likely to be hacked for crisp cornering.

[yanksfan09]

Couple of B/S/T pickups!

[jammin0511]

I don’t own many pre-war cards, but I am super excited to add this one to my collection!

I like the Ruth a lot. Congrats. I saw it after it got sold. It wasn't up there too long I don't think. Early bird gets the worm over there.

[yanksfan09]

Thanks Leon,

Yea, I jumped on it quick. I have a poor condition SGC already that has a lot of creases, this "Auth" will be a nice upgrade for me.

[Rhotchkiss]

Nice pick up Erick. That is a very tough card regardless of condition, and one that I think is undervalued currently; if you can, try to keep them both!

[RCMcKenzie]

Nice Diamond Stars pick-up. That is a great set.

Next time y'all go to a show, check out 1939 Playball. They really pop in a display case as opposed to scans.

PSA called the Latham "MC". I guess they thought the borders were too wide. I think they made a custom holder for the Marquard. ha-ha

Credit an assist to Mr. S. Reader on the Sweeney AB, I had a bid in mind which would have lost until I used his tabulator on his T206 site. I won it at $5 more than the projected price. Thanks

[Vintagecatcher]

Picked up this unusual early catcher pin which I had not seen previously.

Thanks, I agree! Plan on holding.

[rhettyeakley]

I never seem to get around to sharing my pickups but I was able to add 9 more from the 1918 Zeenut set which brings me to 78 of the 104.

Superb condition on those 1918 Zees, Rhett. Beauties. Nice pick up!

[LincolnVT]

What a cool set!!

[jchcollins]

This will be unlikely to turn heads substantially in this forum, but is kind of a big deal to me. My first substantial prewar pickup in quite some time. It’s hard for me to believe how much even lower grade HOF from this era has climbed in value in the past 10-20 years:

Nice pick up John. A great card and nice eye appeal for the grade. Congrats!

[Rhotchkiss]

Very nice Cy Young Portrait.

Just got these in the mail. I believe the Jennings Brown Lenox is a previously uncatalogued/unconfirmed 1 of 1, and the E104-II Wagner is tough as well.

[gabrinus]

Nice ones Ryan......Jerry

Wonderful cards, Ryan. Congrats. You are my hero....I almost used to be like you in buying stuff but with a lot less moolah. It sure can be fun to get such rare cards.

[mrvster]

Wow everyone!

speechless

Ryan....

all the Ruths Cobbs....

ab 460's....
sick, sick, sick

Chuck what up??!!! Chris... Mike and everyone


Happy New Years
