Hey Phil, what three cards are you missing ? I’m pretty sure the Net54 community can help you out. The count down begins

Jeremy, the E95 Honus IMO is the nicest E card ever made and yours is such a terrific example. I love his set mate Ty almost as much. But not quite.

Thanks! It certainly has pride of place in my collection

Does taking a card from the "for sale" bucket and putting it into the "collection bucket" count?
Collecting when flipping = addiction.

[GasHouseGang]

That's always been the way I've done it off the B/S/T. Take it from the For Sale from Leon...put in recent pickups!

[tonyo]

happened upon this at an antique store yesterday. got a good deal

[chadeast]

Very happy to pick up this major addition to my T3 collection. The Grey Eagle doesn't come up for sale that often, especially in my wheel house, which is lower grade or ungraded with nice eye appeal.

[molenick]

Received a nice generic tintype in the mail today.

[Howe’s Hunter]

It was a two and a half week trip from Atlanta but worth the wait.

[Kawika]

A guy from Wyoming re-collecting a collection of a guy from Florida from 110 years ago. What a great saga this has been! I'll bet you're tickled with Congalton, a vibrant card with a nice clear stamp.

[Vintagecatcher]

Congrats Ed!

That's a real beauty!

[Howe’s Hunter]

Wouldn’t happen without the Internet and the help of a lot of folks on this board.

Funny thing, after 386, I’ve never found a Howe-stamped card in person. Been the first to see one on eBay several times. Even hit BiN one time before the seller had gotten their message that the card had been listed. But I’ve never seen one at a shop or show.

Thanks to everyone who keeps an eye out for them.

[Leon]

Not sure when I got these but just adding them to my collection. I like interesting postcards...

[Vintagecatcher]

Cool postcards Leon!

Picked up one myself to add to my collection.

Listed as a Johnsonburg, PA catcher.

Congrats! That's a hell of a 2. I need that one for my Speaker collection. My last Speaker pick up was 1915 CJ because it was in my price range (writing on front). I'll have to splurge more than usual to get a T3.

Added a few M101-2 HOFers and a couple others this month. Now up to 66/100 on the set, with 28/40 HOFers. Bresnahan is a little chewy but it's #1 in the set and doesn't come up much, so I figured I should jump on it when I had the opportunity.

[Leon]

added another from the sale pile to the collection pile.... I like his pose with an attitude.

[bnorth]

I was way more than happy to win this T210 Coyle last night. Hopefully it is just a place holder until something better shows up. I now have 11 of the 16 Ft Worth cards.

Thanks Tim, I appreciate it. And Speaker must be a fun player to collect! I think he's underrated, or at least less well known than he should be given his tremendous career, offensively and defensively. Nice CJ. I don't mind the writing, kind of like stamps it adds a personal element to the card. Check your net54 inbox for a PM.

Picked up this recently-discovered T206 Brown Old Mill in a trade.

That's awesome. I usually can barely differentiate brown from black, but that one is bold.

and this R314 was just in a pile. Not a for-sale pile or a collection pile. Just a pile. So I added it...

[Casey2296]

Congrats on the pick up Ryan, is that a previously unknown combination?

[Rhotchkiss]

Thanks Leon and Phil.

No, not a previously unknown combo. There is another one that Sonny owns (used to belong to Derek H). But there was only one known, and now we found the twin. I think it’s pretty well established that all brown old mills have/had a twin

[Leon]

Another card added from the pile without a name. I have had this one for 6 yrs and it was just sitting there, in between being sold or collected. It was non binary LOL

[Kidnapped18]

1914 Cracker Jack #67 Otis "Doc" Crandall arrived today

I enjoy seeing you and the other CJ collectors post what you have periodically as well! As we all know the 14's can get pricey even for commons and some players don't come up for sale very often in any grade so I will be taking it slow in completing this set posting my progress in my signature line as I add cards to it.

In hand this one has four sharp corners so I believe the excessive stains on the front and back are the reason for the assigned grade and why the graders didn't go any higher.

[NYYFan63]

I picked this up at the Philly card show yesterday…

Just got my first m113 a few days ago. I knew they were big but I didn't realize how big until I got it in hand. Does anyone know if Hank Gowdy was lying about his age? He looks really old for a 24 year old.

[mrreality68]

Nice pickups everyone

Especially that 1933 eclipse import Ruth Card

[ezez420]

Thanks Jeff

Thanks Chad,
I'm sure there's more beautiful examples of this card but I haven't seen one. Something about green label cards just have a really nice quality about them.

[VintageBen]

All were upgrades except for the Harry Lord.

One of the prettiest cards in the hobby, IMO. I have an SGC which annoyingly received an "A".. I called them and spoke to them and they told me it was because it had pinholes and someone tried to cover them up. Which even if true seems weird. To me it looks like it's more oxidation from whatever metal was used to pin the card up.

[wazoo]

Happy to add this super tough combo

[RCMcKenzie]

Nice pick-ups, y'all. Glad to add this Nap Lajoie. I upgraded from a beater. Let me know, and I can give you a good deal on the beater.

[gabrinus]

Nice one Rob...Jerry

[KMayUSA6060]

Last day of September and this bad boy arrived. EBay was kind to me last weekend.

[mrreality68]

Another Strong Month for the Forum

Looking forward to next months New Pickups

Thanks. I have a T3 that was "restored" when someone filled in holes. See below, at least three holes along the top. I acquired it in a T3 lot from REA. REA properly identified it as such in the listing.
