Freed some funds this past month+ and put it right into cards (much more fun than an IRA contribution right??). Most were purchased in Nov, but many of these met me at home last night when I returned from a couple weeks on the road.

A pair of BST pick ups,
Thank you Richard for my first Big Ed, and thank you Peter for this nice, and now raw Cy (Sov back)

The Weaver and Ott from LOTG (couldn't be happier with auction and quick shipment)

BTW.... I think Mr Tinker's hair part can now move to the back seat as well.

Beautiful pickups, Ian...love the Weaver and "Bid Ed", lol. You weren't messing about that part...that's brutal!

You should go away more often if you rake these type of cards as a result of it

Beautiful cards, Ian. Congratulations! I especially like the DiMaggio.

You're going to make me want to PC Cocky Collins. I just know it.

This completes my run of T206 Cobbs. Thanks to Erick Summers on the BST.

Very nice group of pick-ups, Ian.

Thanks guys

Mike- I only wish going away equaled cards! given I normally travel 50% or more during the year. I'm pretty fired up on the Weaver, low grade or not, it was a must have for this SFer. I really like the Big Ed too and it's probably my big pick up of the year, along with my Mays (another board purchase).

Bill- I really like that Joe D image too, so classic. That pick up was definitely in large part fueled by a recent R312 thread on the board. On the opposite end, I'm falling in love with those teens/20's B&W cards. Until maybe a year or two ago, I'd never considered them, but they've really really grown on me and are a nice counter balance to all those great colors in other sets.

Ian...nice month to say the least.

This isn't a card but my home made poster of all 180 of my CJs...

Super excited to get my favorite E103. The color and overall eye appeal of this card is insane. The scan doesn't do it justice. I'm glad it has the spot of paper loss or it would've been way out of my budget.
