Needed an HOF no-frame AB 350 for my master back run, and this baby just came along tonight. Not the rarest front/back combo, but likely no better HOFer with the AB 350 no-frame back. I also picked-up the Chance Piedmont Factory 42 last night as an upgrade for the back run. Very psyched

I love this card. It's one of my most prized possessions. Congratulations.

[Brian Van Horn]

Before I posted this I wanted to get validation on its legitimacy from other members. I know cards, but Pinkertons.......well:

Received the 4th and final E98 Matty today, the orange. For anyone keeping score at home, combined "GPA" is a 1.125

[CobbSpikedMe]

Ian,

Those E98s look great together. The E98 is my favorite Mathewson and seeing all four colors together is cool.

Thanks for sharing them.

[itjclarke]

Thanks Andy, first thing I did was line them up in a row on my coffee table. His E98 is a cool card indeed.

Now if I could only figure out why the pic is laying on its side.

Agree, always cool seeing all the Matty's together (and rotated the scan for ya')

Love the Matty's Ian!! Congrats!

[DeanH3]

Fantastic Matty group Ian. Definitely want to add one someday. Congrats!

[leaflover]

Wanted this HOF'er for sometime.

[itjclarke]

Thanks guys! And thanks Leon for fixing my pic. That's the first time that's happened to me.. I tinkered around for a while trying to find a fix but lost patience.

Sweet CJ Hooper. I still can't get over how many MLBers small Saint Mary's college produced back then, and after.

[dclarkraiders]

I am very happy to add this to my collection.

[gregr2]

Not much to look at but it's mine!

Nice pickups Ian. Love this thread. Been busy at work so on lurker mode for a while.

[Cooper1927]

Two E103 HOFs today...

Thanks to Luke for this Spencer Hindu...I thought it made for cool companion to my Proof.

If anyone has some other Spencer examples (different backs), I might play around with a back run for this pose. We'll see.

Incredibly nice Cracker Jack, Mike. The color is amazing and I don’t see any candy stains. A rare find indeed. Well done.

[Luke]

5/6 of these came from net54 members, though not directly in all cases. Thanks guys!

[Rhotchkiss]

Nice Luke. That Sunrize Bread is beast. Very rare. And I was looking at that Bender cycle 460 - great combo and good looking card (I took down the wajo AB 350 no frame instead and glad I held off this and you got it)

[Luke]

Thanks Ryan! I've started working on the 1917s and figured I'm going to need at least one Merchants, so why not snag a HOFer? Thanks for letting me have the Bender!

[BLongley]

Just got this one.... my only t213

[T206Collector]

What is that above Schalk’s head in the M101-4?

Something in the background?

Yep, I always thought it looked like one of those early “helmet cams”...

[Luke]

Yeah, it's someone or something in the crowd.

[gabrinus]

That's a good one to have Brian...Jerry

[GregZakwin]

Thanks for the kick in the rear end to buy this, eBay 10% Bucks promo!



It's a beater but a beaut nonetheless. Especially for $5 at a shop in Vegas. Gotta love the stores that specialize primarily in new wax.

[darwinbulldog]

These guys

[lloydchristmas]

Glenn,

That Collins is awesome!

[Rhotchkiss]

My first R&R Auction experience -- love the 30 minute, extended bidding starting at 7pm Eastern, but man this auction brought some very healthy prices. Lets see how the shipping goes (obviously, card is not in hand yet)

[CobbSpikedMe]

That is a sweet looking E92 Ryan. Wow. Congrats on the win.

[ValKehl]

Ryan, I would have been shocked if you hadn't won that Wagner card! Well done!

[MVSNYC]

Ryan- great Wags!

Looks like I won this (really clean) Red Hindu in Goodwin last night.

[Rhotchkiss]

Awesome!! I didn’t know you were going for that; I wish you told me bc if I didn’t win the Wags, I was going hard for that and would have added some $$ to the hammer price for sure. Great looking red Hindu - very sharp. Congrats.

And thank you Andy and Val

[MVSNYC]

No sweat, thanks...I guess I figured you weren't on it, since it's not a HOFer...either way, I feel it's within market value, and I didn't overpay.

Email me later, we need to catch up.

[Jobu]

Great Wags Ryan and Michael, this is my card of card, a stunning 2. Nice one!

Slowly gaining on the set.

[Rhotchkiss]

Wow Rick, that’s a heck of a haul. Congrats on a successful June

Picked up a slight upgrade for one of my favorite cards, Hugh Smith 1912 Zeenut.

[GregZakwin]

Second only to Ernie Howard amongst SLers in my opinion in terms of pure aesthetics.

[familytoad]

I really like the Obaks!
I collect low grade raw and nicer ones in SGC slabs...Here's my two newest

[Rhotchkiss]

Totally OT, but Brian, your album connected to SGC is totally awesome. Is that part of the new SGC stuff? That is really a cool album -- great pickups too!

[familytoad]

Hey Ryan, compared to your collection you’ve posted , mine is the minor leagues, but I do enjoy it.

The SGC registry gets criticized a lot, but for a visual representation of a collection, I like it. I’m not competing with anyone, I’m just charting what I have. This scrolling view has been around a few years, I hope they don’t eliminate it, but could always improve it I suppose.

I’ve got a few more sets listed besides my SGC HOF Collection. I did some editing this afternoon.

NOW...back to the eye candy, I love the monthly pickup threads!

Happy Collecting all !
