February Pick-Up Tread

[bn2cardz]

A couple pick ups from REA.

Both of these were picked up for their reverses.

Nice wrong back and a tough black 30 T202.

An online auction find;

Diamond Matchbooks:

U1 - Silver Border - 1934
Billy Herman
Earl Adams
Richard Gyselman

U3-1 - 1935
Bill Urbanski

The Herman is rough with pockmarks as if it was stepped on in the gravel, but at the end of the day its still a period piece of a HOF'er.

How do you do that, not collect matchbooks with strikers? I personally can't collect them unless the strikers are still attached. LOL

Otherwise, great pickup, really love those silver border matchbooks. Way under appreciated as collectibles.

Great stuff, everyone.

Thanks to Pete for this upside down back...

It’s all about the upgrade! lol. I could go on eBay and buy the best examples, but I like finding vintage stuff in the wild and then upgrading when I can within my budget. Much more fun to me that way.

The silver border ones sure are the prettiest to me too, and I agree, under appreciated.

Picked up these 4 T202 Cobbs from someone on the board to get down to 3 cards to complete my T202 set.

Great logic, can't disagree. Good luck if you ever think about going after the set.
