Went to the Raleigh show today and couldn't find a single thing I was looking for. But, sometimes the cards find you instead - in this case, an absolutely beautiful T3 Tinker. Then on the way out, I noticed a group of Helmar stamps that one of the dealers had just bought a few minutes before, including two Cobbs. I picked up one of the Cobbs and the rest of the lot. Also got a chance to meet Jewish-collector who came down for the show, and hung out a bit with Gradedcardman, who almost got to the Helmars first! Good to see you guys.

A few pick-ups in March. The one you can't see is the pick-up of a new scanner, thanks to postings and counsel of the 'stache and Frankbmd. Still trying to calibrate correctly, though.

A red Cobb has been high on my list. The color and focus sold me on this one!

Well thanks for letting me off easy! Because it was an auction and not a BIN I guess I see it as market price (I'm not a shill bidding worrier). I wonder if the same card with auction house vigorish and steep postage costs might have cost the same (or more). Never the less, it fits perfectly condition-wise into my HOF portrait collection so I have no complaints!

Number 287 finallly arrived, and with some good news maybe?
Had "won" this card several weeks ago, but the seller showed single card fronts and a scan with multiple backs in the auction. Even after an email exchange, I "won" and received the wrong card. After a couple more emails, and a return of the one with no stamp, this one arrived today ...
  With it was a post it note, stuck to the sleeve, saying he had found three more Howe-stamped cards in his inventory. I've again contacted him, in hopes we can avoid the whole auction scenario, and just get those three back as a group with the others. Time will tell. Thanks to everyone on the board who has an eye out for these.

Some missing parts, but you get the idea.

Congrats on another addition Ed!
Here's a few more of my latest additions to my Pittsburgh Collection. The E90-1's came from a board member and the T216's are from the BST Auction:

Great pickups everyone. I really need to get my scanner up and running to show some of my additions. I moved in January and the scanner hasn't been very high on the list of things to do.
