National 2016 pickups

[brass_rat]

I had a great time at National -- several pickups, including these. The Radbourn has even better contrast than I can seem to get on the scan, so I'm pretty excited about this one.

I was fortunate to hang out with a number of Net54 members -- I'm afraid I might forget someone if I try to list everyone, but suffice to say, hanging out really makes the show that much more enjoyable!

Cheers,
Steve

Lotsa very nice pickups in this thread! Steve, I'm sure that Leon will instantly recognize your T216 Va. Extra pickup.

Condition-wise & budget-wise, this T330-2 (thanks to Chris Buckler) and this PM6 (thanks to Hank Thomas) fit nicely into my WaJo collection. And, thanks to Vic Stanley for these 1948-50 Safe-T-Cards, an obscure Washington, DC, area issue.

This is the prize, can't wait to get this back



Thanks for looking!

It is a rare day on this site, when I don't see an item that I have never seen before. Awesome material!

Seriously, that be one of the mega deals that went down at the National. If you are happy, then congratulations and good luck when you decide how to distribute them to the world.

Fantastic Radbourn Steve!, can you share where it came from?

Why would they go red when PSA has been red all along? Don't see the business logic of this, unless they want people to think what they are grading was graded by PSA, in which case, why not just go to PSA?

I noticed a KSA on E-Bay a couple weeks ago that also looked very similar to PSA.

"Imitation is the greatest form of flattery" they say, or "if you can't beat them, join them" comes to mind also.

Truly had a wonderful time at the National this year. Meeting & talking with other Net54 members everyday was the highlight of the show for me.

Here are a few of my pickups. As for the Magee, I couldn't make a decision, so I decided to go with "Option C".

Jantz, nice Magee. I've never seen such a dark green background on a Magee.

Thanks, Joe!

(PM sent... I don't know if people who aren't on the official dealer list because they spilt tables want their names posted.)

Cheers,
Steve
