Two very tough Zeenuts, I don't believe I had ever seen the Schwenck before...

Many thanks to Ryan for being fair, reasonable, a gentleman and an absolute pleasure to deal with, as always. I very much appreciate it.

A couple new T206s for my collection. Thanks, Joel!



I also picked up some educational material, the first three volumes of The Baseball Card Encyclopedia by Lew Lipset, and The Vintage & Classic Baseball Collector issue #7.



Two very interesting articles in the magazine: one on PSA and ASA, and the conflict of interest the TPGs cause by grading cards, and releasing price guides. And, an article about baseball card restoration. Funny how 18 years later, these two topics are still very much at the forefront of the hobby.

Congrats Rhett, the Bernard was an absolute steal. I hadn't ever seen a Schwenck before, it must be very scarce. I was busy bidding against you but gave up since I don't collect the 1912s except Portland players. Great pick-up!
