August pick up thread

[Sean]

Patrick, you should post that Phelps in the T206 Virtual Set thread. It should be time for Phelps in a couple days.

A surprisingly difficult card for me to find.

Nice one, Paul. That is a very tough one to find.

So my want list was pretty focused this year going to the National and we were trying to do the whole thing in only Wednesday so I moved pretty fast and wish I had some time to talk to some people but just didn't. I found very little in the way of CJ's and have needed the final 2 for a few months now. In the back as I was almost done I found the Wags but decided to walk away from it. The dealer was nice, I just didn't have my mind wrapped around spending that much money, but I wanted the Wanger. We came home, I had non-buyers remorse and worked out a deal over the phone and with another buddy at the show to arrange this. I thank Glenn Mechanick, the seller and fellow board member for being flexible and making this work...so now I am down to one! Its been killing me waiting all day for my friends to get back with card.

Awesome card. Glad you bought that and not the e105 wags!

Steve, good to see you grab one of your whales!
What a gorgeous card!
Its fun to share the excitement with a hobby bud.
I think I will go look at some of my cards tonight

Thanks to a fellow Net54 member I was able to add Cy and a very tough League Park bleachers postcard view to my collection. Also came across a Case Auto Joe Tinker card that is a variation from the one I already have and a Walter Johnson Sporting News Postcard. A good month so far.

[ScottFandango]

Great postcards....

Wonder where Case cars went with their "famous" engine... Did Ford absorb them or just put them out of business....

I just got it back from SGC (I posted it raw earlier this month in the thread).

Thanks to David R for helping check this one off the want list.

Either from a T206 test sheet or Lash Bitter's test sheet.

[LEHR]

I don't really care for most of the printing errors but this one is really cool, Chris! Congrats on the pick-up!

Congrats Brad!! I think you showed me that one after right I ended up with your Jackie.

Thanks Bill- I agree, Foxx was a beast. One of my favorite stats was in one of B James earlier abstracts, best player of each decade. Look at Foxx's '30.. Wow!

[pencil1974]

Yep Ian that is one. Hope you are enjoy the Robinson!! And also hope you are doing well!
