FedEx just dropped off my REA goodies!!!
Trying to work the 150/350 players into the T206 HOF backs line is rough, but after landing this P150 Chesbro, it will be possible to only have one duplicate back in the line, while representing all of the HOFers. Just one more card to go, but it’s a monster and I know it’s out there.

T3 Merkle because it’s fun!

T216 Kotton Nap Lajoie with Philly. Does anyone know how hard this Philly version with the Never Go Out back, really is? This card checked three different boxes in the collection, so it was a must have.

Happy Saturday!
Bob

+1 to that. That Hal Chase is in extraordinary shape, including a sharp back. Seems like it should be a higher grade, judging just from the scans.

Great cards Jeff. The Cobb is especially stunning.

I had to laugh at the Ruth underwear item. It still doesn't top Brett Favre's pubic hair that was sold.

1937 ..BF104....Shown once but just added to my collection. I almost never see these for sale and am always in the market for more!

I just added a NY Giants vs Brooklyn Dodgers program scorecard from April 18, 1947. This was Jackie Robinson's first home run and RBI's. I was so thrilled that I watched the movie "42" again and this home run was featured in the movie.

There seems to be something magical to me when you have something that was present during such an historical event. At the time, I'm sure there wasn't a second thought given about a scorecard, picture, line-up card, autograph, etc. Sure, for some people there were but for the masses I don't think so - at least as significant as it ended up being. It makes you wonder what the person who kept this score (they did a great job also!) thought after watching Robinson's first home run and recording it in this program - only to be looked at again 75+ years later by someone such as I who is envious of what they bore witness to.

I guess that's one of the reasons we collect!

Wow, another very nice Wagner Batting from The Philly Show. Sometimes I wish I lived up there closer to some of these great shows. Congrats on the pickup, Rob!

Re: NYYFfan63 - Talk about eye appeal! These E cards have really grown on me

[tireolddawg]

Picked up from a board member. Anomalous sale last year on Memory Lane at over $14k for a PSA 3. Any thoughts about that? Love this card.

Many thanks to Elm for trading this '60s retail regional gem to me. The East Hills Shopping Center became a ghost town by the late-'70s due to the modern, indoor Monroeville Mall, where the horror masterpiece Dawn of the Dead was filmed in '77-'78.

Poor Roberto couldn't even get a hometown business to call him by his real name.

When I got home from work today, my wife asked me if I was more excited to see her or my Hooker. I begrudgingly had to admit, that I more excited to see my Hooker today.

A big thanks to Jay for helping out of this one by taking some trade to knock it down a little! Also thanks to Ryan for gathering and turning loose a few of the centerpiece cards in the run!

I’m happy to have a Hooker and a Shag holding down the two Old Mill slots in the backs line! I still have some of my 12 year old sense of humor!

I didn’t plan on adding this back to the run because I never thought I could land one, but knew it would bother me if I didn’t. One more monster checked off!

Enjoy the evening,
Bob

Very excited to have finally picked up a M101-3 Ty Cobb Post Card. Tough to beat the close up image of Cobb

What a pickup. Congrats!

[DallasAg]

A card I’ve wanted since I started collecting as a kid. The Red Cobb isn’t a rare card, but when I started diving into the condition sensitivities like image registration, color, etc it became harder to find one I really liked. Very happy with this copy

Hard to beat a Red Cobb like yours. Well, done sir.

Great day at the Philly Show. Picked up a card I wanted for a while being a PA resident.

Terrible photos, but I was finally able to pick up the Jimmy Phelan SC350/25 for my Providence team set. This is a low pop card that was much harder to find than I thought it'd be.

New member here. I am very impressed with the cards posted in the thread, especially the Cobb card. Well done, gents.

I was away from the hobby for close to 18 years and decided to get back in.

I picked up a few cards off eBay to jump start me again, after coming to deals with the sellers.

Clyde Milan b18. Paid $5 at an antique store. Don't think the seller knew what it is.

Picked these up at white plains today. I owned that same signed 33 goudey Grimes years ago, funny how cards sometimes make it back to your collection!
