Thrilled to add this one to the PC.

Very nice Scott! Congrats!

Not really pre-war, but an unusual card of a pre-war player. This is a 1952 Toronto Maple Leafs team issued deckle edge postcard of the team's manager, Burleigh Grimes.

Congrats Joe on picking up that cool Criger Bregstone PC from David!

Your Lou Criger collection is rounding out nicely!

Patrick

[atx840]

Tougher combo

[MVSNYC]

Chris, great example. And very bold for a P42 (they're usually printed a little lighter, as you know).

[ahumes13]

Whoa, nice one Chris!

Joe, your Criger collection is really coming along. Congrats on the latest pickups!

I've been wanting to add an example from this tough pin set for a long while since it fits my A's/Phillies type collection from the dead ball era. Was happy to finally pick one up for the collection this month.

Judging from the fact that the Barry pin wasn't one of the 22 examples from the Paul Muchinsky collection that were sold in the most recent Hake's auction, I would surmise that Barry might be an extra tough common in what can already be considered a scarce pin set.

Thank you. I have been very fortunate and have had a lot of help from people here. Beautiful Pin Pickup! Joe

Never seen this one before...very cool Paul!

And Andrew, nice Branch Rickey V100! I just looked. I think I'm down to four V100s needed to complete the set...Rickey is one of them. If you ever see another and want to make a buck off me, just say the word.

Off back mania continues

Very pleased to get a score card from the 1924 World Series--the only one the Senators (and Walter Johnson) ever won. Has some cool pictures of Walter Johnson, Goose Goslin and Sam Rice. Thank you to Lee/Sterling Sports Auctions!

Thanks, Derek. I’m planning on holding onto the Rickey, but if that ever changes, I will let you know.

Three recent pickups, now down to just 1 card (#122 Tenney NY) to finish the set! Jordan & Herzog is a BST pickup, thanks gooseman91. And a big thanks to jayshum for the BST heads up!! A Jennings with good eye appeal turned out to be a very tough get for me.

Chad, good luck finding the Tenney to complete your set. You've got a little over a week until we get to it in the T3 thread.

[Mutton Chop Yaz]

The recent E220 thread (from which I learned that all "true" E220s look like this) inspired me to pull the trigger on this Coveleski for my Cleveland HOF type card collection. Coveleski was also the last Cleveland HOF player for whom I didn't have a playing-career-era card.

Fantastic addition. He is a "tougher" Hall of Famer to the surprise of many. He's also in some fantastic sets (like the E220), but most of his cards are all the same pose which is somewhat annoying.

Congrats on completing the Cleveland portion of the Hall of Fame (for now)!

[Mutton Chop Yaz]

Thanks, Kyle!

Love it! Nice pickup.

Thanks Phil, Jay, and the other Chad! Jay, don't hold your breath on this last one, I have a feeling I'm in for a long search, considering my previous luck with 'last' cards

[cardsmemro]

Not too crazy, but excited to add this to my Buffalo PC. On the hunt for the Hal Chase and Russ Ford type 2s now… and the laundry list of other Buffalo tobacco cards I’m after!

[Andrew1975]

Bought raw in December… just back from SGC.

Just added this Zach Wheat to the T206 Brooklyn set I’m building. This and a Kaiser Wilhelm from the same Greg Morris eBay auction get me to 14/27.

[Vintagedeputy]

My first Zeenuts. A few beaters but neat cards nonetheless.

My poor cards. The Holsum arrived in today and a couple others that arrived earlier this month.
T206 Piedmont Fact 42 Doolan
E90-3 Zeidler
Holsum Bread Home Run Baker

[RCMcKenzie]

Nice Baker card. Some highlights from the Buchner collection auctioned earlier tonight by DavidBV. I crossed some off my list and am making good progress on this set.

[LincolnVT]

These are all SUPER cool! Congrats on your progress.

Added some new Cobb portraits this month.

[Andrew1975]

Big mail day for me. Not the nicest Wheaties, but if you've seen BIN prices, people have gone bat poop crazy with prices. This came up for auction and I knew that I'd get it for a great deal. I also knew that it would look great behind Rajah! And sure enough it does. Poor Foxx, though, he got stuck in the worst position.

Seller was Teamwirk on ebay, he had postcards BIN if anyone is interested.

Very nice Andrew! It couldn't have ended up in a more appropriate home

Michael, those Cobbs are beast

[Carter08]

Really great display.

[BobbyStrawberry]

Hardly impressive next to most of the things on this thread, but I'm happy to have picked this up from DavidBV on ebay.

[JohnP0621]

Picked up this beauty.

[Andrew1975]

Jerry and Jeff, much appreciated! Ryan, huge thanks for giving me the opportunity to buy the card that will now be the cornerstone of my prewar Red Sox collection!

[ValKehl]

I just obtained what almost certainly will be my Pickup of the Year 2022 for my master set of Sam Rice cards. I noted this 1-of-1 1921 Queen City Cigar Store card in the SGC pop report several years ago, but I figured my chances of ever acquiring it to be less than "slim and none."

Now then, perhaps I can get a hot streak going. There are 2 other similar Rice cards issued around the same time by West Coast companies, that I've noted in the pop reports, and that I'd love to add to my Rice collection, if possible - they are a Keating Candy and a Witmor Candy Type 2 (has the vertical ad back). If anyone can help me locate either of these cards, I'll be most appreciative.

HOLY CRAP VAL!! That pickup is awesome on many levels. Your pickup of 2022 indeed! Congrats
