I had been after one of these single-signed balls for a while. Finally got lucky.

Beauty Brian, congrats.

These three arrived in the past week. I overpaid for the cabinet but could care less; as soon as I saw it I knew I had to have it. The cabinet looks so much better in hand than that scan shows.

Well, I was prepared to "overpay" for the cabinet at one increment lower...congrats on the win....your "overpay" beat my "overpay limit" by one bid.

[JimC]

Wow, that Nadja is such a beauty.

Finally pulled the trigger on this Fred Payne E90-3 American Caramel.

Always liked this portrait of Fred Payne. It will make a nice companion piece with my other E90-3 catcher card, Jimmy Archer.

Ha! I wondered if someone on Net54 was running me up. Better you than the house (not implying that this has ever happened). It's definitely a beauty.

Usually Old Judge "proofs" go for $750-$1500 unless it is a better player. Or in this case, a particularly nice image. So, yes, a little more than usual, but it's like when a better-centered card commands a premium over the usual price for that grade...it's more than usual but understandably so (and I had reached what I could afford on this month's budget). Just don't post it in too many threads!

Thanks, Paul!

Aaron, I can't imagine the anguish you must have gone through to sell your Cobb Nadja, which if iI recall was the only graded one out there. Still, your new Uzit should help soothe the wound.

Hi John, I hope you’re well. Yes it was a difficult decision made easier by the Uzit Cobb acquisition. I had no intention to sell it until Steve approached me right around the time the Uzit hit the market.

Again, a hearty congrats to Steve! A great great card but I’m getting old and slowing down and she’s just too much of a freak for me! I had to set her free.

There are actually 3 PSA graded Nadja Cobbs.

Nice pick ups everyone especially Steve's Cobb and Ryan's Cy!

I posted this on the Postcard thread, and since it’s a June acquisition thought I’d also post it here.

I received this RPPC of Kelly Mascot, the seven-year-old son of Goldsboro’s 1910 manager, M. J. Kelly, as a birthday gift from my friend David McDonald. The PC is doubly interesting since it is addressed to the wife of a pitcher on the Goldsboro team, Fred Stoehr.

I’m going to write more about the Kelly-Stoehr connection but wonder if anyone else has seen another copy of this PC?

I have a few RPPCs from the Eastern Carolina League in the same format as this one, and they usually depict a player whose image appears on T209 and T210. I’m trying to determine how many of the PCs exist and would appreciate knowing if anyone else has examples.

Thanks for looking,
Mike

Beautiful and awesome pickup, but even cooler story on David sending it to you for your birthday! That's what the hobby is all about!

What a card!

[Leon]

The only Cobby I can afford lately. One of the distributors I didn't have so that's a plus too...The NY lineup on back is kind of cool also.
