Wayne,
Nice pick up.
You also got yourself a very nice Tony Piet autograph, right below Dreyfuss.
He's not a HOFer, but you don't see full name sigs like that except on contracts.
Congratulations.

Dave,
That is a beautiful Traynor. He is very under-appreciated.
Best,
Mark

Thanks. You're right, I own a couple of old contracts, and this is the only one of a pretty decent player who got well more than a cup of coffee in the bigs. I should also mention that there is a nice auto of John Heydler on the cover, which I haven't scanned.

Wow with so many National threads, the August pick up thread is getting no love.
Well...Let me change that a little!!
I am soooooo psyched to post my newest addition.
This is card 73 of 96 for my 1934 goudey signed set.

Hank Greenberg rookie!!!



I paid a pretty penny, but am very happy. The card's condition isn't great, but the sig is clear and vintage fountain pen.

So cool.

Posted this in other treads but this is signed on front and back by Chief. Was made out to Mary who was Zach Wheats daughter and had some interesting content talking about World Series.

Great pickup Mark!
Your collection of goudeys is just outstanding. I always enjoy seeing that you've picked up another new one.

Picked up this nice 1929 signed Kashin of Chuck Dressen. Tough signature as he died in 1966.

[RichardSimon]

I got this from the grandson of the player it was given to.

[MacDice]

These two were upgrades for my 1957 set which now sits at 309 (118 deceased signatures, 51 signed HOF cards – including Ford Frick winners and team cards).

Great Pickup Mark.. I love the signed goudeys.

Below is a signed ck I picked up this month. Dual signed during Ruth's playing days with the yanks with TWO tough sig variations. It was from the Walsh estate(Christy also signed it).

Damn!!!!
Ben,
That is crazy! Special on so many levels.
Twice signed, Full name signed, Geo H Babe Ruth signature, which is a very very uncommon variation of his signature, Walsh signed, and being a check with provenance from Walsh family has no doubt of authenticity.
Congrats on a superb pickup.
How are you going to display it?
Thanks about the Goudey. My set is moving along slowly but surely. It may take a while, but I think I'll get there.

Wayne,
Congrats on the Gehrig. That is a fantastic item. I love those postcards.

Best,
Mark

WOW!!! That Ruth check is unreal!!! Congrats on the amazing pick-up!!!

Jason great Yount, that's in great condition, and McCovey looks awesome too!

Here's my latest, nothing special, but crosses another off the ever growing yearly list:

[Forever Young]

Thanks Guys.. I am happy that I was able to add this one.

Mark.. not sure how I display yet but most likely with a TYPE 1 photo.. I just don't know how to swing the two side thing.. any ideas??
