Awesome stuff, guys!

Thanks to Jim C. for this cool HOF P42. Slowly starting to add to my rare back collection again.

Wow Jim, that E220 is amazing! Such a tough card, especially one as clean and centered as that. Awesome.

Nice combo Michael - not a bad way to restart the collection

Chuck, really great combo as well. That is a toughie!

Pretty card Leon - nicely centered indeed.

Wow, that guy at the back right (Cuban card) has to be almost 7 ft. tall , right??

No kidding!! Actually before this auction took place, there was some speculation that the standing giant MIGHT in fact, be the great Hall-of-Fame pitcher, Smokey Joe Williams! But alas, after quite a bit of thoughtful research and image comparisons from fellow board members, a consensus was reached that it's probably not he. But the player sitting at far right is definitely Alejandro Oms - a guy with a decent shot at the Hall, someday. I hope.

I agree. The E220 Ruth is such a tough card in good condition, and that one looks really nice.

Picked up my last SL'er this past week to complete the run. Surprised me a bit that it ended up being Pat McCauley with as tough as some of the others are.

The SL'ers have been such a cool part of the T206 set to work on, and a few board members on here were really key in helping me along the way with big batches of cards.

I think they look great all together as well!

After a complete run of SLers, this looks rather pedestrian. However, I added another T206 HOFer to my collection. SGC 3 from eBay.

Really happy with the centering and registration on this one

C-Mack, I did a double take when I saw your last two 34 Goudeys. I picked up a Dean and Foxx with the exact same grades and posted them in the June pickups! At first I thought I was being pranked. Hahaha! Quite ironic.

Very nice Michael, underrated back IMO.
