Same pose as Hank's RC, the '34 Goudey set.

This was a post national pickup I was super pumped to add.

Excited to keep building an E93 set, happy to pick up this big three that fit right in with the starter group I picked up at the National.

Excellent Hank card, Eric. One of my favorite Greenberg cards.

I’ve seen that American Beauty Matty in person and it’s stunning. Congrats!

Thrilled to have picked this up at the National - a checklisted but previously unseen Mendelsohn of Larry Doyle

Silly question here so forgive me, but how was it checklisted if it’s never been seen before. I’m unfamiliar with that set.

I don’t think it’s ever been seen. Plenty of cards are known to be in a set but never seen (for example, Plow Candy Hal Chase to my chagrin). This is actually a huge pickup.

Finished one of my favorite 1950s sets by picking up Kell's Red Sox team variation at the National. Backs show an expiration date a full year after after the trade in question.

"May 23, 1954: Traded by the Boston Red Sox to the Chicago White Sox for Grady Hatton and $100,000."

Thanks for explaining it better than I did Jeff - here is another recent (and more valuable!) example

Very nice Chris. A toughie because Doyle was traded from the Cubs during the 1917 off season so was likely pulled from further printing after that initial year. First one I've ever seen. Congrats.
