February Pickup Thread

[Jason Carota]

Added a few well-loved examples for my set:











The stamp on the McGraw back says "Hopkinsville, KY."

Was able to add another tough Wagner pinback...1911 Diamond Gum

Thanks Richard. Another successful transaction on BST. Definitely my favorite Cobb card and the reason I started the E95 set. It doesn't exactly enhance my SGC Registry set, but I couldn't pass this bad boy up.

Thanks to Andrew & Leon, I made a huge dent in my needed T205 backs. After getting these 2 backs, I just need a green Broad Leaf to have all back types. I'm also just 4 (a very hard 4) away from my master T205 set. Please see signature.

PeterB- those are tougher backs than what is currently being seen. Except for the very small group of 6 Hindu's and the St.Louis? find of Drums, those things are almost never seen.

The buyer of the Stengel Koesters card and I were in discussions for me to buy it when the thread went up about it. Even though my snipe didn't take, I was within about $25 of the winning bid on ebay. I need it as an upgrade. I contacted the buyer today, who is a good hobby friend, and we worked a nice trade out. It will be an upgrade for my Bancroft (not sure how you tell it between a W575-1 and D383 though) Koesters......I do like this portrait pose and am glad to add it to my collection (see BST tomorrow for it's new $1095 price).....

Cool looking card for my R313 set (56% complete)
