I have to say Becker is one of the most "interesting" poses of the era ......


Fun, fun, Scott

Nice Frederick Foto!

Nice to see there was some vintage cards at the National!

Love the dietsche cobb and the FF, leon. I added this rare e97 color/horizontal variation for my murray run…a few months ago.

[53toppscollector]

first big pickup for me in quite a while. will eventually crack it out of this slab to include it in my M101-2 album, especially since it appears there is a small piece of broken plastic near Gabby's neck. Got what I felt was an excellent price on it. No complaints.

Nice card...and your horizontal Murray just got verticalized.


Brian (I think I will knock card rotation out of the rotation for a while)

Picked up a Connie Mack 1915 Postaco Stamp. Love pre war oddball stuff. The color on this still blows my mind being that it’s 100+ years old.

Some great REA pickups. This stamp is interesting- is there anything on the back? Is it a stamp you could actually use or a post card shaped as a stamp? I agree that oddball stuff is cool and has room to run

Phil- great example of a very underrated card.

Greg- that back run is awesome!! Please keep us in the loop. I love that set and think the front/back combos are underrated.

Kenny- (I wanted to do more eeks, like 10, but it takes too much time)

Chris- nice example of a tough combo. I think you got a great deal on that

Bill- congrats on the first Zeenut. There are about a zillion more if you choose to go that route.

Thanks Ryan,
One of my favorite images and has been on my list a while. I think if this Speaker image was used in the T206 set it would be one of the most popular portrait cards in the set.

A pickup from the B/S/T section, to add to my collection of well-loved Goudey HOFers.

[itjclarke]

An all SF sports party at REA.

Love the R311, especially since it's Joe D's rookie year. If only they'd squeezed Lefty Gomez in there too.

I really wanted the Montana + Dwight Clark rack pack, but I got the feeling its high bidder wasn't gonna give up easy. This one was a nice consolation at less than 1/2 the price.

The Connie Mack 1915 Postaco Stamp is an actual post card stamp, but it is rather larger than your standard envelope stamp from today. It is a blank back as well. This article is pretty much the extent of my knowledge on the set - https://prewarcards.com/2016/10/06/1...and-checklist/

[RCFire82]

Not sure if I'll keep it, but happy to snag one of the toughest old mills in the set.

[Howe’s Hunter]

Cassidy was one of the large number of cards auctioned first by Goldin then Scott last fall. Eric bought several cards from Scott, and as he finds upgrades, he’s been kind enough to sell the back-stamped ones to me.

Cassidy is card 397 towards the complete set, and numbers 398 and 399 from the Huggins and Scott auction will be joining soon.

Currently bidding on number 400, and it’s a biggie!

Thanks to all on the board for your help and support over the years.

[Casey2296]

Happy to walk away with this one after a late night slugfest.

[Kenny Cole]

After a pretty brutal slugfest last night in REA, I came out with these two. Yes Paul, I was your nemesis.

[paul]

I hate you, I hate you, I hate you!!!!!!!!!!!!

(Congrats).

[atx840]

Great cards everyone, several very high prices last night and a few steals.

Horrible trim job but only a handful out there, thinking it went quite low.

[Bill77]

My first Zeenut.

Great Speaker, I liked that one and the Wood in the auction with those better looking darker backgrounds.

[refz]

East Coast National pick ups. Very ecstatic to acquire the Joe D. Wrong back on Dom.

[BuzzD]

All from Board guys:

Knight AB 350 frame, Horner photo of Howell, E270 Brockett Red Border

[Tim Kindler]

Very Happy with these 2 pick ups!

[GregMitch34]

Pretty excited to nab this M116 Mordecai Brown in a PSA 6. The pastel background version is actually a little more rare than the blue background. To date, 45 combined copies have been graded between PSA and SGC. This copy has a PSA pop of 6, with only 3 higher (all 7s) and only 1 higher (7) through SGC.

went big at the August buzzer

[ldrunner27]

Picked up my first Elite 11

[RCMcKenzie]

Nice T213-2 Red Cobb, JIMC. That's a good one to have.

[JimC]

Thanks Rob and Val for the kind words. Val, I don't have the card in hand yet but I agree with you the picture looks very sharp for the grade.

[anchorednw]

Fun little mail day yesterday.
Added a 1921 Exhibit Walter Johnson to the collection. Always loved this photo!
