Phil- great example of a very underrated card.

Greg- that back run is awesome!! Please keep us in the loop. I love that set and think the front/back combos are underrated.

Kenny- (I wanted to do more eeks, like 10, but it takes too much time)

Chris- nice example of a tough combo. I think you got a great deal on that

Bill- congrats on the first Zeenut. There are about a zillion more if you choose to go that route.

Thanks Ryan,
One of my favorite images and has been on my list a while. I think if this Speaker image was used in the T206 set it would be one of the most popular portrait cards in the set.

A pickup from the B/S/T section, to add to my collection of well-loved Goudey HOFers.

An all SF sports party at REA.

Love the R311, especially since it's Joe D's rookie year. If only they'd squeezed Lefty Gomez in there too.

I really wanted the Montana + Dwight Clark rack pack, but I got the feeling its high bidder wasn't gonna give up easy. This one was a nice consolation at less than 1/2 the price.

Fantastic Joe D card....and it has Lazerri and Crosetti. Interesting thing about Crosetti, although not a HOFer, the guy was on 17 WS championship teams.

DiMaggio actually had a slew of cards in 36, including that beautiful Chicle Pastels. In lower grades, they can be found for a reasonable price, relatively speaking.

I felt the same way when I opened the mail Hank even though I knew it was in it.

Thanks Jerry and Phil!

Thanks. It’s crazy how much prime baseball talent SF generated in the first half of the 20th century. Since then…. Not so much

Way to go Chad - very happy for you.

Congrats, Chad! I know you'll enjoy that one for a long time to come.
