(December Pickup Thread) No December pickup thread?

[Leon]

Nice cards so far!! I took the liberty of changing the title of our thread because it is driving (at least) me crazy. And I just added this E90-3 condition rarity to my new collection...

Congratulations on the pickup, Leon. Sorry to keep driving you crazy with the title of this thread and the trivia question, but maybe this will take your mind off of those:

That's some kind of deckle thing going on, very cool. And the title wasn't driving me very crazy, only a little crazy.

Congrats on the Speaker, Sam! One of the best cards in the hobby.

Just got these in today, another upgrade and well, I guess, I'm starting to hoard the Jennings. Thanks Jerry!

A couple HOFers (thanks, Mark!)




One of a few that I picked up at a local show last weekend.



And an eBay win that I liked because of the WST on the back. See that, at the bottom?



Took me a second to realize it was "Brown, Chicago Nat'l". Which has cool potential. Got it in the mail, re-scanned it (and confirmed that the "M" is there, just hidden in the brown mess) and flipped the scan. Then realized that there was more than just the name that WST'd. That's a lot of red...



I don't own a copy of that Brown card, so I harvested one out of a BST thread. Seems pretty definitely the Mordecai Brown portrait.

Only wrinkle was that the card looks like it's been removed from a scrapbook, based on the paper in the corner. When I magnified it, though, the rag was the same as regular t206 paper. So I took a thin-bladed knife and flipped up one edge of that stuck-down paper... and the other side is brilliant red. Not only were the sheets (or maybe just the cards?) stuck together, I've still got part of the card this one got stacked on top of.
