Another one off the want list

SGC submission came back. I had already peaked at the grades, but always a lot of fun to look at them in the new holders.

Some great looking cards Luke! My eye is drawn to the Tom Jones EPDG!

Finally able to find a Cobb Bat on Shoulder.

Finally, my first and likely my last E123 Curtis Ireland...tough cards to capture a HOF player in...Max Carey representing!

Congrats on the Cobb!

[cardsfan73]

Purchased the card from a board member knowing it was trimmed, the overall eye appeal won me over. This card is one of my favorites in the T206 set.

[Jeff_cvc]

It's always great seeing (drooling over) everyone's monthly pickups. This month did not disappoint. I had a month of firsts and very happy about it!

I finally got a Demmitt I could afford




My first Ruth



My first Gehrig



I've fallen for the Kashin set, love that many of the photos were from Conlon. I think they are underrated and so many legends in the set. Time to add another set to my list...

Thanks Eric and Epps really happy to get another card checked off the run, especially one I passed on a few years ago

[cardsfan73]

Nice pick up on that Demmitt! Alas I am afraid that Demmitt & Ohara are two cards I won't be able to obtain to complete my T206 Cardinals & Browns team sets.

Thanks Scott, it is always exciting to land one of the big cards, no matter the condition. Never say never, you just have to get creative. PayPal Credit allowed me to grab the Demmit. 6 months no interest, I pay just a little over a $125 a month and it makes it much easier. I picked up my O'hara from a board member who was incredibly generous in setting up a payment plan. You never know, be patient and something might just fall in your lap.

Thanks Matt...Companion for my Knight Miscut.

Hoping the one I got looks as undergraded in real life as it does in the photos.

Thanks to JD Heckathorn for this T200. The T218 is my first boxing card, to add to my Jewish ball player collection (with a bit of a stretch on the ball player part). Leach Cross' birth name was Louis Wallach, and his nickname was "The Fighting Dentist".

[Iwantmorecards77]

Nice little addition...

[edjs]

Boy, are Red Cross cards getting harder for me or what. I guess I am now officially collecting the T226 as well. Koufax32fan, thanks for the info about Cross, I don't know anything about him, just that he is on a Red Cross tobacco card. You inspired me to post this one.

[mybuddyinc]

Quick OT: Leach Cross fought under that assumed name so his family and friends didn't know he was engaged in such a sport. Also interesting is the Bio. on the back of T218, were most of his fights were 5-15 rounds. On the East Coast (mainly NY and PA), fights had round limits, probably to appease the "anti-fighting" crowd. California (Colma), however, was wide open, no limits (but, I believe, around this time, set a limit of 45). There is a classic (imo) photo of "Fighting" Dick Hyland standing over the downed Cross. Cross looks exactly like he does in the cards shown above (even down to the perfect hair part), except he is horizontal !!!

Gott'a love that they misspelled Pugilist on the T226 !!!!!!!!!

Justin,

Just an update. I hope your winning lot was undergraded. I was happy to find that when the McGraw arrived there wasn't a little white spot on the left side of the card on his face, so I photoshopped the card to reflect what the card is that I received. I was too lazy to try with my supposed "smart" phone. Before and after:

[Vintagecatcher]

Thrilled to add another Lionel Carter Collection card to my collection, a really nice Ivey Wingo T207, and I also upgraded my Mickey LaLonge 1909 Obak. This example is my 2nd "no frame" back.
