Those Kreindler T206s are beautiful!

That’s a major Don, for the Don collection, Don. Congrats

Hi Don - it was nice meeting you at the dinner on Thursday.
My lone pickup.

It's remarkable what an absolute geezer Cy looked like as an active player. Graig did his usual great job in capturing it.

Haha, true. Though in his defense he was in his 40s at the time of the photo. Growing up on a farm in the 1870s apparently took it's toll.

Some adds to the off back collection.

Probably my biggest pick up thanks to you, Don. I appreciate your help on that.

Whoa, can you tell me more about the Kreidler T206’s? Assume these are readily available &#129310

Sorry I missed those in Cleveland

[Spike]

Brought this back from the 50c box. Imagine the guy who was stoked to label it for grading and then forgot it wasn't in a penny sleeve.

Graig had hundreds of them available to pass out. He was sitting near the front with a dealer who had this book available for sale that depicts his artwork focused on negro league players.

Compared to some of the pickups on this thread, here’s my paltry donation.

[whodey14]

Struck out a lot but managed to add this to my collection. Not the norm by any means but was too cool to pass up.

Hey, those are some great pickups! I love the Post cereal cards, I’m hoping to pickup the blue line this year! But really nice 59, Congrats! Great to see another Clemente guy in the thread!

I'm a football guy but did pick up one item I think you all will enjoy. There's a well known football player batting cleanup for Toledo.

[BillyCoxDodgers3B]

The Manush on the roster is credited by BB-R to a Harry Manush, but with a ? after his name on their website.

Per Harry Manush's minor league stats (these are so often incomplete/incorrect going back this far), his first pro team was AA Toledo that season. This might seem a bit suspicious, starting off as a pretty regular player with a AA team, when he seemed to never reach anything beyond A ball afterwards, going from AA to A to B to D!

[Jay Wolt]

Jeff that's a fantastic program

That's great. Not a bad baseball player, either. Then there's the Olympics...

[Leon]

Nice pick up. I always like Thorpe stuff...

Fantastic pick ups and stories everyone, very enjoyable reading in this thread!

This year's National was so relaxing and enjoyable to me and was able to spend it with my son, Tyrus; and my dear friend Jeff! It was so nice to see so many great dealers that I have done business with or talk to every year. I try my best to buy something off the folks that I know each year, but with my focus narrowed down to just about 3 sets, I had to keep my $ focused and was unable to purchase from some I usually do.... but a shout out to those that I was able to purchase from who worked with me on pricing and I was extremely pleased with the pricing and purchases that I had. Thanks again to all of you!!!

These great T206 Pick ups, including the DEMMITT St. Louis, gets us down to 23 left in our T206 Set that Jeff and I are building as friends! The 19 T205s, including 3 Hall of Famers gets us to about a 1/3 of the T205 set that my son and I are building together.

[Zan]

Not my only pickup at the show but I do enjoy this one. We share a last name, no relation though.

[Aquarian Sports Cards]

Feel like I should get t-shirts made:

I went to the National and all I picked up was Covid.

I know there's several of us.

It's making the rounds again, big time. I just got through a 10-day slog, my second time. Time to dig out the masks again.

I'm on day 3 and feeling better already, but still not my idea of a good time.

[JollyElm]

A question for the attendees:

I love extremely hard-to-find variations from the Topps era. Did you run across any/many of those types of things as you cruised the show floor?
If so, does anyone have any pics or video showing such cards??

[Clemente_Collector]

Here are my pick-ups from the National!
