Damn, Chad…you bought your 2nd earlier this year and you’re at 87 now!?!

Yep. #2 through #26 all came at once. In fact, over 60 of those came in ungraded lots. That's about the only way to make it happen that quickly, unless you have unlimited cash I suppose. I've also sold or traded another 18 or so duplicates, and I have five or six more to sell that I haven't gotten around to posting on the BST yet. It's been quite the ride, but extremely enjoyable. It has been quiet lately, but I'll be posting my newest addition today in the October pickup thread. It's a big pickup for me as I've seen just one for sale during the last six months (Memory Lane), and like every T3 in that auction it was too expensive for me.

Fred Clarke, a great hitter and outstanding fielder, still holds the record for most hits in a major league debut, with a 5 for 5 performance for Louisville on June 30, 1894.

Fred Clarke…I will add here a great piece I got in the Original Halper auction gifted to Fred by the team in honor of the first World Series that he played in and managed the Pirates for.
