Not a card but it is the end of a quest I began in the late 1970s. This is the last Orioles media guide I needed to complete my collection of printed guides and yearbooks for them and the Baltimore Colts. Time and again I was either outbid or 'out-budgeted' until I had my offer accepted last week. And it looks to be nicer than many of the ones I missed out on. It's on its way to the authenticator (I didn't know anything other than cards got that treatment) and then into my hot little hands.

You finally found one!

Some nice pick ups from members so far. Bob, congrats on closing out your almost 50 year quest, quite an accomplishment.

Val and Leon, thanks for the good wishes. Ed, yes, Dave was kind enough to let go of this one from his PC. Fun stuff.

Picked up these two C56 key hockey rookies. There have been PSA registry fights going on in the C55, C56 and C57 that have exploded prices recently. These are really fun vintage cig cards and the only sport besides baseball to have substantial prewar sets. Trying to finish these sets so had to grab a couple nice but lower graded examples from the dupes sold off by the registry contestants.

Attachment 574349Picked up this lot at the WSSCA show. There was some really incredible stuff in the room, especially for PCL collectors.

I spent quite a bit of time in that corner, and there were at least a few folks looking at those transit passes.

I was the underbidder on this. Absolutely stunning example with rectangular corners and very little chipping compared to other low grades!

Hey congrats JC! Great that you got it for your price and even more that you don't have to see it in your future searches!

[Beercan collector]

Love the flawless print of that T205 Cobb

Thanks Peter and it’s been a while… Thanks to Adams book I read years ago, I picked this 26-29 Exhibit up which we know should be 1925-31. Plus having the blank back makes it part of the first print run dating it to 1925, as they had the various postcard backs soon after.

Thanks Phil. Weirdly the guide showed up in my mailbox, directly from the seller and bypassed the authenticator.

After over 2 years of trying to educate an eBay seller what he had, I finally got this for my original offer. The seller had listed a ton of 5.00 or less crap-o-la and this item. Of course he acts like it’s the Holy Grail, and that he is representing a consignor. He ended up completely copying Dan McKees description of another currency, and started it out around 5k. Slowly he kept lowering the price and it became a quarterly thing for me to make the same offer and ask him if he was tired of paying all the fees to show it. He finally accepted and now I don’t have to see it pop up every time I do my currency search. First time I’ve made an eBay purchase in over a year as well, and after my purchase eBay wanted me to take a sports card survey which I was happy to really let them know how bad their platform has become for pre war sport cards.
