Sweet Banks Brent! Ever since meeting him last year at Harry Carray's, I've been tempted to bring my raw '54 Banks next time I'm in Chicago on business and just wander the streets, blue sharpie in hand until I found him again.

Thanks! Yeah was happy with the full 1 number grade bump (from an SGC 6) but it got the MC qualifier for obvious reasons lol. Yeah Banks was awesome. I didn't get Jackson, but he seemed like he was having a great time which was surprising from all the stories about him.

Walked into The National today looking for a Ruth or a Gehrig.. That was until I visited the Olympic Section and found some items!

I picked up this N154...2 female player bodies with jinormous presidential candidate heads pose...now I have two...I guess I'll have to go for the set now!

And I didn't pay $375 for it.

So much eye candy in this thread. Wow!

I can't thank you guys enough. With every new pickup thread, you are all broadening my horizons, so to speak.

Steven, that Honus CJ is gorgeous. From the scan, it presents much better than a 2.

Ian, great Frank Baker. Is that SGC slabbed, or is it free to hold in your hands?

Ed, you picked up two great cards. For somebody like me that is quite unfamiliar with the PW Cracker Jacks, it's a treat to see both Tris and Zach. I've never seen either card before. The expression on Mr. Wheat's face is priceless.

jtschantz, beautiful Eddie Plank. I doubt very much that I'll ever own a Plank T206, but when it comes time for me to pickup one of his cards, that's one I will seriously consider.

I'm really starting to love this set! Thank you all for sharing. I feel inspired!

Ben, it looks nice, but I don't know what it is. Please tell me.
