December Pickups

[T206Collector]

Am super thrilled about adding this gorgeous signed card to my collection. I don't normally go after the signed Goudeys, but I have a soft spot in my heart for Lefty Grove, who has always been one of my favs. I've been looking out for a clean signature on the Goudey for years.

Wow! Awesome pick-up

This just arrived today - been wanting to find one for years, but budget, other interests, and timing always seemed to get in the way

Pretty solid for the grade, which 2.5 is on point

Nothing spectacular here but my first Old Judge.

pretty spectacular in my opinion! Nice clarity/contrast on that OJ (despite the grade). I'd prefer one of these over an EX example w/ light contrast!

I agree that Old Judge is amazing.

Well thanks guys! What did draw me to this card was the same clarity I pursue on action shot photographs. And as you can probably guess the grade is due to back damage.

I concur with the others who posted on your Old Judge acquisition - that is a spectacular example!

Michael--Nice card. BTW, that is also Welch's scarcest pose.

Every Old Judge card is spectacular.

Do you have any idea when this photo was taken or when the caption was written? I'm curious because the Tigers didn't play New York in the Series, they played St. Louis. The Cardinals passed the Giants on the final weekend.
