Happy New Year. January pickups.

Brian,
Very true! I’m not really a set guy, but E95 will probably be the one that I do commit to building down the road. There are some great looking cards in the set and my aversion to buying commons (except Chase and Merkle) won’t be too bad since it’s only a 25 card set!

Thanks, as always,
Bob

It is indeed an outstanding set, and besides the nine other Hall of Fame players included, there are cards of Merkle and Eddie Cicotte, some players that had outstanding careers (Larry Doyle, Tommy Leach, Ed Reulbach), and even an eventual manager of the Red Sox, Bill Carrigan, who was the first manager of, and won two World Series in 1915 and 1916, with budding superstar Babe Ruth on the mound. So in my mind only 9 of the 25 are schlubs or semi-schlubs that you will need to pick up.

Crossed another one off the E98 list.

Andy, that is a great orange Chase! I wish I had that one in my set. Congrats on the pick up.

I’m really hoping I didn’t accidentally turn into a type card collector, before finishing any of my T206 goals! I’ve got to get back to the monster weeds before I end up deciding to put $ towards the random raw stack.

E102 Crawford, no creases, wrinkles or paper loss, so pretty happy with this one.

Love a Sunday mail truck!
