January Pickups

I'd rather have these 1921 Exhibits over Paul's signed T206's any day. No just kidding...Holy crap Paul those are freiking amazing. Your signed T206 collection is legendary. Now if only you'd sell me your signed CJ Marquard!

Seriously though just picked these up....for the value these Exhibits are so damn great. Can't believe how inexpensive they are relative to most other almost 100 year old cards...

I do love that card, but I know you're interested. Thanks for all the kind words everybody. My signed pre-war card collection has one glaring omission - Ty Cobb. I may just start saving up now for the next time one of those comes around. I've got a long way to go.....

Well, everything will be downhill after Paul, so here are some fun mid-tier backs I've added lately:

Picked up a large photo that originated from Claude Berry's estate. Same image used for his 1912 Home Run Kisses card. (See attached scan.)

As luck would have it, it disappeared in transit for a few days, and it never made it to my local post office, even though, my tracking confirmation said it was available for pickup at my P.O. Box. Called the local exchange and they said they had a package that missed the last truck. I drive over to pick it up, and he brings me another small package containing a T213. I politely requested that he check for a larger package, and luckily he returns with the larger parcel with the framed picture this time. Crazy!

Frame needs to be cleaned badly, and I'll get some museum glass to protect it further. Here's what it looks like now.
