March Pickups...

Very interesting card of Frank Frisch from 1931 from Japan. About the size of a T-206.

Not sure but from what I understand these are not too common.

That Frisch is a beauty.

I just picked up a treasure trove of 1940s Japanese cards pasted onto album pages here, including most of the big name hall of famers (Kawakami, Betto, Besho, Oshita, Starffin, etc) of the era.

29 cards for a total price of less than $50 US including shipping. This is what I love about collecting here: you can still find scarce vintage gems for extremely cheap prices here (granted they do have paste on their backs, but they are still beautiful). Similar MLB stuff would be out of my price range.

Put some more close up pics of individual cards here:

I just got the 5th member of the my Rustlers team(Al Mattern). Now I just have to decide if I just want one of each of the nine players or try to put together the master set.

I've been looking for a nice example of this card for a while. I thought this one had some great color and eye appeal for a "4".

Sick color on that one. Great card!

Joey,

One of my favorite poses. Great centering, nice card.

Congrats Bill! A master set would be cool ... and tough (Beck is not a recent pick up).

That Starffin 3rd prize card is nice. I recently picked that one up myself for my Starffin collection.
