1888 SF Hess N321 to add to the West Coast Type collection. Hard to believe these are over 130 years old, printed 23 years after the Civil War.

One of my collecting goals for 2021 is complete! This is a huge pickup for me as a Big Train collector, I just love the action photo showing his signature motion.

From the most recent Hake's. Features HOFers Pop Lloyd, Louis Santop, and Sol White (in his only "card" appearance). Other noteworthys: Dick "Cannonball" Redding, Spotswood Poles, and Dan McClellan - the first black pitcher to throw a perfect game. Only known card of this dominating team. From their 1911 inaugural season, in which they finished an astounding 108-12!

Board pick up (thanks Eric!). Eight total copies between PSA/SGC!

Wonderful pickup! Congrats.

My rather trimmed V100 Heilmann recent pickup. Take that, PSA and SGC...no way are you charging me 3 times the amount it would have cost just a few days/weeks ago to have this slabbed (or rejected as too small to encapsulate)!

Holy crap Ken! Nice grab. Is this an April Fools joke? Haha! I have moved away (mostly) from multi-player cards, but this one would have been at (or near) the top of the list for me!

Congrats!

Finally got this in hand yesterday. An M110 had been on my wantlist for the past several years. Always expected that I would settle for a Chance or Chase, but couldn't pass this one up despite the flaws.

Those "flaws" actually add to the piece Rich, congrats on the pickup after so many years.

Thanks Chad, Jeff, and Derek!!

So this happened. I wasn't planning it until I saw it, and didn't dream that I could grab an early 20's Ruth card in this market, especially an E220, a personal favorite (and a card that seems very underrated to me). It grabbed my attention not only because it was an E220, but this particular card's look strongly appealed to my admittedly irrational love of miscuts (not that this card is one in E220 terms). I think that the A holder and likely trimming helped keep it (barely) in my $ range for sure, as well as the extreme oc-ness, which to me was part of the appeal. There was also a higher grade Ruth E220 in the same auction (!?!) that surely drew off some interest. I LOVE this card, I still can't believe that it's mine, and I happily accept the shambles that it's made of my card budget and collecting goals for the year.

Thanks Chad, collector stamp on the backs brought the grade down, of course I count back stamps as a value add so it worked out well. Congrats on the Johnson Exhibit, people are starting to wake up to his value.
