Great job, Paul. I'm so jealous...

Thanks Jason, Ryan and everyone! Love the blank back T206 Tom!

My first Lionel Carter but a coincidence since I was just looking for a M116 Chance. The back could use a soaking but not worth ruining the provenance.

Very happy with my pick up of this Cobb in REA, Lot #315. I chose it over other Red Cobbs in the auction for its clarity in his eyes and face....(and of course its affordability!) Unfortunately, my scanner doesn't do the card justice here though!
Feels great to try to get back into the hobby a little after a long time being away from the board!
Beautiful pick ups by everybody this month, as usual, love seeing everyone's passions on display!

One of my favorite cards from any set, any era when it comes to pure aesthetics. I do believe, and I'm sure this has been discussed somewhere on the forum before, that the Jordan in question is actually Tim Jordan. The cool back stamp was an added bonus.

Love that Ty Cobb art piece! Tim Carroll's N162s and T206s are gorgeous.

Here is Studio Proof (REA win) and N333 of Joe Driscoll, pitcher for Albany Daily Press and Knickerbocker Newsboy Team. This is the second time I've been able to match a Studio Proof with N333 card. The images are light but I'll take what I can get.

Amen to that, Joe!

Well done!

Welcome back, Tim. We left the lights on for you. Great looking Cobby.
Here is a recent pick up of a cdv I like...

Leon- I think that cdv was a steal. It has to be one of the best, if not the best, game action cdvs I have seen. It has players, an umpire, a scorekeeper, and is a close up shot. Tough to top.

[Tim Kindler]

Leon, Great to be back after some time away from the hobby. I love that CDV of yours where the Umpire is just casually leaning on a ring bat!!!

Rhotchkiss, Thanks for the compliment on the registration and focus of the image on my Red Cobb.

Greg, Love your Fantastic 4 of your Cobbs. Although technically low grade, they look fantastic and register exceptionally well for the grades!

Can't wait to see more fantastic stuff pop up throughout the month in this thread.
Best Wishes,
Tim Kindler

Agree with Gary, great card, Leon. I should sell my collection and start over.
