I’m trying to put together a DeLong set but it won’t be cheap!

Good Luck, The Gehrig would be the stumbling block for me.

Same here, but it can be done.

Picked this up today at the Moeller show in Cincinnati. My first double-name that's different at the top - and a pretty good name to have!

Just picked this one off of eBay and I have to say this card wasn't easy to find a toughie for sure. Getting close to completing my 1910 Obak Vancouver Beaver's sub-set. Happy to add this one to my PC.

Picked up this WaJo recently for my back-run.

A cautionary tale on historical pricing on rare stuff... I started collecting WG1 game cards a few years ago and have a handful now. I got this Nash in Hakes for $389 and someone else won the Bassett in a 5 holder for $392.

I won with my marker bid and was underbidder with my marker bid. I missed the last day of the auction and could not bid. I would have gone higher on Bassett. The cards sold for almost the same price even though the Bassett is in much nicer condition. I guess I could say Nash was a better player, but not by a whole lot.

Delighted when Mr. Gilmore arrived today after vanishing for 10 days.

Seller mailed it on the 17th. USPS tracking showed that a tracking number had been created. Emailed seller on the 24th, to inform him that USPS tracking stopped after label created.

I now have both the catchers in the set, and as luck would have it, the Hub Gilmore is missing the tax date stamp, whereas, the Joe Walsh T209-1 has the tax date stamp.
