June Pickups

Found this gift BIN on eBay pop right before my eyes this morning! Always wanted one of these, but the 72s are woeful so often; this was the best I've come across, and the price for the grade made it a steal.

Added to my 1969 set and PW HOF RC cards thanks to a board member.

It's a pre-war card but figured I'd post it here too. Perhaps I can get back in the running for best month. Not the holy grail but very happy with the card.

Huge card-- congrats! I just adore the #53 and #144 Goudey Ruths! Cornerstones of a collection.

A Ruth is like an all-access pass. Welcome in any era's new pickup thread. Congrats! Am hoping mine turns out half that nice.

Just added a new addition to my collection. It fits in with my "popular NY players and characters" division.

Nice card, Jerry! One of my favorite Ted Williams cards. Classic.

+1 and very well said!

Thanks guys, I know #53 is the most sought after, probably because it's a little more rare. But I just like the look of #144 so much more. Definitely a holy grail type card for me.

Damn, your switch-hitting? Sometimes i get in a rut, and sway sometimes to pre-war (like i did my 2 cobbs-red/green)
Gorgous 4 there of Ruth. Suprised you didnt get a Mantle, or did you have one? i forget, sorry i get folks mixed up sometimes.

I think both are equally awesome-- and would definitely bet that collectors who get one have designs on landing both at some point. It's like Brett RC almost needs a Yount RC beside it. 41 Play Ball DiMaggio and Ted Williams is a case of 1 + 1 = a million, too. The two yellow Goudey Ruths are definitely like that for me. I have daydreams of what it must have been like to pull these from packs-- what they must have looked like right out of the pack!!!!!

That's a nicely centered one.
