Fantastic card and presents great for the grade.

It took three months between finding the 2nd to last card and a good enough copy of the final card I needed to complete my T3 set, but the deed is finally done! This pickup from Mile High was card #104 and the end of journey that started on April 18 of last year. Big thanks to jayshum for the heads up on the auction lot.



Here is the link to the Flickr album of my now complete set of T3's.
T3 set (104/104)

Of the three sets I've completed in my life, I think that this one brought me the most joy.

And, here's my LOTG win. Added another T206 HOFer to my growing collection.

Sharp Cy. I love those green backgrounds when the color is deep and rich like that.

When not looking at my Ruth ball this month, I have been enjoying my first-ever Pre War baseball card, which I reacquired from a friend here on the boards. Always a good feeling when a card you sold years and years ago wound up staying in the same collection, and an opportunity presents to get it back. The D304 Cobb always struck my eye, love the personality they captured in his face on this one. A little mischief in the eyes. Grateful for the back damage that kept this one affordable, then and now! I know Cobb has a ton of great and attractive cards, yet as someone who likes to choose one card to represent everyone not named Mantle (a strategy that keeps the collection lean and pockets from having lint only), this has always been my pick to represent Ty.

Thank you Matty! That Cobb is very nice. Not sure I’ve seen this Cobb card before. Thanks for sharing.

Hi all! Longtime reader...first time poster.

I picked up this w560 Cochrane at a card shop today for $100. The guy had gotten it in a large purchase of cards.

I did pretty good, right? Excited to add a HOF to my small but growing vintage collection.

Thanks to fellow board members,
I have completed my E98 Hippo Vaughn Color Run.

The 1918 Pitcher's Triple Crown Winner (as a Cub, BTW), part of select company; and tough common subject to the set.

Woo-Hoo!

Finding any decent looking Hindu for under 1000 , may be a thing of the past pretty soon
