Thank you. I'm not a Cracker Jack collector, but I've wanted that Mathewson for a long time.

My favorite pick up this year!

[iwantitiwinit]

In the recent Goodwin auction I was able to pick-up the T206 Magee Old Mill portrait, its the only Old Mill Magee portrait graded by either PSA, SGC or BVG and as far as I know the only one known. It also enabled me to complete my Magee portrait back run which includes the Magie something I've been pursuing for 4 years. Hopefully if I have time I will post the run later this week. Here's the link if the image doesn't post properly and you care to see it:

Robert, great choice for a back run.

This C. 1930's Bobby Veach Coal Company Ad Card with Ty Cobb, Bobby Veach & Sam Crawford was my fave!

I love this piece because it cuts against the usual impression of Cobb as hated by teammates.

Just arrived, and immediately my favorite pre-WWII pick up of 2016. An upgrade that I just had to have once I spied it.

Wow. Great card

Not the most expensive item I bought this year but for some reason there's something about this one that grabs me:

1946 Nashua Dodgers team signed picture with Roy Campanella, Don Newcombe, Walter Alston, Buz Bavasi and others. Jackie Robinson obviously broke the "color barrier" in 1947, but in 1946 while Jackie was playing in Montreal, Campanella and Newcombe were in Nashua.

I had hoped to find a ball signed by that team (to go with my 1946 Montreal Royals ball and 1947 Dodgers) and thought the picture was a lesser option (especially with the signatures on the back, which makes displaying a challenge) but there's something I really like about it.
