Wow,June is off to a roaring start.
Some stunning pickups
Jeff, I love the 3D CJ's

Got this one at the tri-star show yesterday, it in an SGC10 slab due to scrapbook tabs applied to the back

Bought the Polar Bear McGinnity without a back scan. It has the same "453" written in pencil as one I picked up off the b/s/t a little while back. I googled it and found out that McGinnity won 453 games as a professional pitcher. Pretty cool imo.

Jerry,

Great pickup! I also have to admit that Ritchey looks a lot like Graham Chapman from Monty Python.

My June pickup was my May pickup but with a better grade. Got this in the REA auction & took it to SGC Fri. They popped it out for me & I removed the slight pencil on the back with a Mars eraser(thanks Leon!). They then regraded it and it went from a SGC 20 to a SGC 40!

I highly recommend a Mars Plastic eraser for removing errant marks from cards. I don't consider it altering when you take something off that wasn't supposed to be there in the first place. Glad it worked. I have done it many times too. That being said I do leave some marks as they can add to the provenance and history (and even aesthetics) of the card, sometimes. I might start a thread about this topic.

Thanks Brian,
He does favor Chapman a bit, I liked the Flying Circus, it was always good for some laughs,

Very happy to get this one off the Bay recently. I was the underbidder on the last 2-3 auctioned.

Congrats, very nice Chief! I love the T227s and wouldn't mind getting the Cobb.
