December Pickups!

[molenick]

REA wins arrived today.

[Aaron Seefeldt]

I posted a few of these on REA pickup thread. I’m done for a while, probably until the National. The Cobb proof was from a fellow Net54er. I’m grateful

Two big pickups for me this week.

E92 Nadja Bridwell. I was the underbidder on this card years ago. Since than, the card has sat on Ebay with a certain banned board member I refuse to do business with. It was just consigned to REA and picked it up for almost half of what I bid before. I'm now at 48/59 confirmed cards in the set. Unfortunately, most of the rest are either unicorns or laughably out of my budget.

E105 Wagner picked up at the Philly Show yesterday. I keep telling myself not to think about doing this backrun, but then pick up another one.

Really awesome stuff in this thread!

I’m very excited to be adding two D381 HOFers with coupons (from LOTG and deans) and this Roger Maris signed RPPC from a board member

Congrats and Great Pickups Erik.
Loved the signed RPPC

Got this gem in the mail over the weekend. Only $13 delivered. Perfect OBC condition. Folded up just like they were meant to be back when they were distributed. Love it!

No. 130 ........................................

I started my “Hindu Hunt” probably about 10 years ago, mainly to expand on my “mid-tier” back set. I originally set out for just the SLs. As they started to accumulate, I decided to expand to others. Finished the SLs with the big “Howe” collection and added many more tough ones. First I thought that maybe I’ll get to 75, then maybe 100. In my wildest dreams I couldn’t imagine getting them all. But now, only 6 to go:

Alperman
Evers (bat--blue sky)
F. Jones (portrait)
Gilbert
H. Davis (A's)
Walsh

It’s taken 10 years ……. I have a few more in me …………….

Fun, fun, Scott

[The Detroit Collector]

Scott, Nice Wajo Hindu! Great job on your Hindu run, you'll have to post pics of them once you find the final 6!

[Aaron Seefeldt]

Been looking for the fourth Ruth for a while and very happy to add this one to the set. I've had the other three for decades but never went after the set until about ten years ago. Just passed 200 of the 240 and other than the Lajoie the only HOFer I'm missing is Foxx (I think there are 64 HOFers in the set). This has been one of those "patience is a virtue" efforts spanning many years of looking for the right condition at a reasonable price. Now I need to stay disciplined and not get carried away as the finish line gets closer.

Beautiful!

[B O'Brien]

I needed a 1930’s card for the little group of non T206 cards, so happy to welcome a Sport Kings Cobb to the group! I had a 1933 Goudey Gehrig that I sold on the BST years ago and would love to add it back!

Also, the Rose Co. PC of Nap! Can’t explain how excited I am to have this one!

Happy hunting,
Bob

[B O'Brien]

Another fun one in the mail today!

I traded this card away about 15 years ago. Thanks to Rob G for sending him back my way. I love the New Orleans issues! I also need the T213-3 Factory 8 Overprint HOFer for the cousins of the T206 HOF backs line. Welcome home Mr. Collins, after 15 years, two wives, five moves and 687,000 frequent flyer miles!

Let’s watch some college football playoffs!
Bob

[pawpawdiv9]

Really digging these T206 portraits!!!
Looking to add more. You guys now have me 'hooked' after all these years.

Great cards Bob

Congrats

Especially love the Rose Series of cards

[lug-nut]

Just arrived last week

[B O'Brien]

Thanks Jeff! It’s fun to add some variety from my usual T206 cards.

I really need to focus on the BL460 HOFer to finish off the backs line, Cobb On and Crawford Throwing to finish off the HOFer set, but adding these were super fun and really added some flare!

I hope everyone is enjoying the weekend,
Bob

Nice group Bob. Those T213-3's, especially the overprints, are really tough. Congrats.

[gabrinus]

Daryl, those are nice...can't believe that Doyle got a 1...Jerry

[mybuddyinc]

................. T207 Time ....................

BIG Thanks to Luke for this little "eclectic" bunch ..............

up13c.jpg

Trying to get as many Recruit Anon.3's as I can. Up to only 20, but it's a start .......

Can't beat adding a few Naps. here and there ........

Finally, my favorite (and I consider the toughest) back, an Anon.25. Which now consist of ~25% of my BLs .................

Fun, fun, Scott

[ValKehl]

Pickup for my collection of players who were on the Senators' 1924 WS Championship team. I'm still looking for the variation of this card that has Foxx and Klein spelled correctly.

[Leon]

Great cards this month, so far!

I enjoy the weird ones. From the BST ....thanks Brian!

another strong month for the Board

and I agree with you Leon I love the weird ones and the oddities

[CRT Sportscards]

Finished my T206 Polar Bet set in December of 2023 and then spent the first half of the year, working on upgrades. I then decided to pursue the entire 520 starting in the summer. So finishing the year at #281/520.

1 card a week for the next 4.5 years will get me to 520!
