December Pickups

[jthorst75]

This Evers is much better in person than in the scan.
The picture is crisp; cleaner than any other T206 I have owned.

My very first Delong. A fellow Milwaukeean and my grandfather grew up just a few blocks from him.

Gift from the wife? Nice pickup!

The card is nice, too.

Thank you on both! Last year it was a Green Cobb. Maybe we can keep this green T206 theme going.

This postcard arrived today featuring the 1915 Sanford, Maine Team, the 1915 Champions of Maine and New Hampshire. Anyone guess who the famous ballplayer is in the front row left wearing the nice sweater? His hometown was Sanford, Maine which is about 30 minutes west of where I live.

From one Mainer to another...

That wouldn't happen to be Freddy Parent would it?

Jon, that Shoeless Joe is incredible.
Chris, those AB's are gorgeous! Talk about eye candy.

God, Ian, you've been on fire to close out the year. I especially love the Ruth Exhibit.

Go Packers!

I think I used to own that one. It is incredibly crisp. Almost doesn't seem real it's so nice. Nice pickup!

Thanks! My wife told me that she didn't remember which one I showed her when I originally found it on eBay. So when she decided to buy it, there was a SGC 20 also on eBay that was stained and rounded corners that was $15 more. I am glad she went with this one. It is definitely a card worth looking past the grade. I have had very few cards that had a surface this well focused. I would buy all T206s in this grade if they looked this good and kept the price down.

Picked this one up on my big night on ebay a few days ago. It was already a favorite pose of mine and when I noticed the difference between it and my original copy I decided to grab it as well. The Obak sets are full of unusual oddities.
