Congrats Ben. Great eye appeal for sure! IMO it's one of the most beautiful cards in the set.

A few steps closer in my quest to finish the T3 set this week.

Thanks Jeff, I appreciate it. Thanks to Tony @ TonyeTrade, where all of these latest Turkey Reds came from. Fair prices, quick delivery, clear scans & cards arrive exactly as shown. IMO, he's among the very best online dealers. That being said, don't go there looking for T3s, I don't need the competition!

Thanks, Jeff. Always a great feeling to complete something.

A lot of sets in progress already including T202, T205, 1927 Exhibits and 1934 Goudeys pre-war. I'm also working on a number of post-war sets including Leafs (down to Doby, Newhouser and Paige so may not make any progress for a while), 1951 Topps All-Stars, 1953 Canadian Exhibits (just need green tint Easter and Raschi and red tint Lowery for the master set) and 1971 Topps Greatest Moments (need Perez, Bench and Murcer). Also, I just picked up large lots of lower grade 1961 and 1963 Post sets so I'll be looking to fill those in as well.

Tony @TonyeTrade has some real nice stuff and would not mind having some of those as part of my collection (long turn)
As for competition I am currently not a SET collector but a specific card collector so I am not a competitor of yours.

I bought a decent amount of T3s from TonyeTrade as well. I don't know where he keeps finding them, but he always seems to have a good selection available.

Some really nice stuff so far this month, guys. Jim, those transfers are amazing; I have a few cards with them 'stuck' on the backs but I do not recall seeing the actual transfers themselves. I wonder if they were the same mfg as this set:



Meantime, here's a fun one. As some know I am obsessed (in a good way) with some of the clothing-related issues, especially Adam Hats premiums and Billy Taub premiums, postcards and signs. I haven't found an Adam Hats this year but I did find a new Taub piece:



It is about 13" wide and 10" tall, on thick cardboard with an easel back, and was meant to stand up on the counter. Ruth, DiMaggio (2x), Dean, Terry, Lazzeri, Dickey, Crosetti, even a Jimmy Braddock. I had not seen this one before until it popped up on eBay but I had seen some of the images. The Ruth, for example, is from a 1932 sports dinner piece that can be found as a giant wall sign or a postcard.




This one is from a while ago but seems appropriate:



Prewar Ruth premiums: I cannot have too many...
