First are the four cards that came from the recent Huggins & Scott Auction. Thanks to board member Scott who gave me the opportunity to add them to the rebuilt collection....
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Then, as a Christmas gift for our son, who finishes his Masters Degree in English Lit this coming spring, a card that has a stamp of F. Scott Fitzgerald (supposedly). When studying in France for a semester several years ago, he became quite taken with Fitzgerald, and since that time, I've been trying to find a card with his stamp (supposedly) that I could justify the price on. This was on Ebay (where the scan is just a screen shot, I've already wrapped the card), with no real mention of the stamp. Came by it pretty cheap. ![]() ![]() Again, thanks to everyone who is helping me rebuild Howe's collection.

I call these pick-ups the "got shut out in auctions but had the itch to buy something" collection.

Picked up what I expect to be the most difficult back in my Chief Meyers T205 back run, an American Beauty back. Just need a Cycle and a Piedmont Factory 42 to complete the run.
Thanks Luke. Patrick Last edited by Vintagecatcher; 11-23-2015 at 07:11 PM. |

Congrats on getting it - I was hoping it went to a board member, and am really glad it's going to be a meaningful gift.

I love this thread.
I have mainly collected 1960s and 70s. I only have 5 pre-war cards and none older than 1933, but this forum and especially this thread have inspired me to pick up at least one T206 and to focus more on this era. Thanks for sharing some really tremendous cards!

It's great when we see something in our realm and we like it so much we want one. It was the way I decided on half of my first collection.
