The Gehrigs from that 34 Goudey set have always been among my favorite cards. Congrats.

Just a few more to boost that ol' Monster Number.

Had to have it.

I keep losing auctions for groups like this, so I finally just bought a lot outright on eBay.

Starting my 8th Pre 1934 cubs team set (T202, T205, T206 Sovereign, P2, m116, M101-4&5, 1933 Goudey autographed) for the first time Ive bought the hofers before the commons.

Excellent Sean. Whatever happened to that T206 Sovereign set?

Hi Sean
still working on it. Need five that are proving to be quite hard to get.

Nice E120 grabs Sean.

I feel lucky to have spotted this Ruth late night shortly after it listed, then decided to roll the dice on a zero feedback seller. It arrived safe and sound, and it seems this seller's- "these were my grandpa's cards" story is fully legit. The stain is nowhere nearly as pronounced in person, but am curious if any have had success soaking E120s. I've never soaked a card, and probably won't try on this one, but still interested to know if any think I might be able to clean this one up a bit.

I know not as many people get jazzed about items like this (other than Leon & I )

This is the only example of a wrapper of Bishop's Chocolate that I have ever encountered that is correct to the 1910 period, there may be other examples out there but I have never seen any. This is exactly the right size for an E99, E100, and E221 (folded) to have been distributed in (scanned larger so you can see the writing). A few of the team cards say they were included in 5-cent packages of Bishop's Chocolate, Nut Bar, and Almond Bar.

Anyways, it isn't something you will likely see again for a good long while so I figured I'd share it...
