Hi Jamie, it’s an original and correct size t206 with a cut auto. Regarding the PSA holder, it’s a postcard holder.

All I can say is I think this is one of the stronger months for new Pickups and it is only 1 week into the month.
Cannot wait for every one to share all their winnings from all of these auctions this month

[mrreality68]

Hi

As Jeff "Prize-ner" guessed it here is the card I picked up but have not yet received. Can't Wait to get it to put it in the collection.
Feel like a kid in a candy store

I was thinking the same thing.

[Leon]

That is a great card....congrats!

and of course Ryan's Cy is no slouch either. Great month so far...

Thanks.
Slow but steady for me and trying to be strategic in my approach.
We will see how strategic I was after the next deal. Lol

Just picked up this 1909-16 PC758 Max Stein Post Cards Ty Cobb in the Goldin auction. I think it was a steal since the exact same card sold through Heritage back in April, 2018 for almost $2k more than what I just paid. One of only nine ever authenticated by PSA & SGC.

Very nice pick up and at a great price. And love the low population count

Great Pick up Congrats

[nat]

I love the Cy Young going fox hunting! That's fantastic.

Leon - the back of your postcard says that the Washington Americans took our best pitcher. Any idea who that was?

[yanksfan09]

Beautiful Ruth M101-6 and Max Stein Cobb!

[asoriano]

My favorite pickup at the National:

[3-2-count]

Fantastic card Turner!

[joejo20]

I checked out a local antique show today and couldn’t leave behind these prewar cards.

That’s quite a find for an antique store!!

This is a monster thread. I see something and think "holy crap, is that great" and someone tops it a few posts later.

That FM Ruth is just crazy great, Jeff; I love larger format cards. You must be thrilled.

But then there's that E107 Cy freakin' Young. Really??? What is that like a pop -2?

Can't let a Williams RC go unremarked...and a Stein Cobb.

T205 Joss has been on my radar for some time as well and that one is sharp-looking.

I did not realize that Young hunting PC is that old. For some reason I thought it was from the 1930s. I have one somewhere; guess I will have to relocate it in my album since it is out of date range and I am OCD as hell about where my cards go in my albums.

I didn't get much this month but I can throw a few logs on the fire:





Got a bit of a King Carl collection going right now.

Thanks there are a lot of great items in this months post. Something for everyone and I enjoy seeing them all.
King Carl collection is looking real good. With a Healthy dose of those Wheaties

[fkm_bky]

One step closer to completing my HOF Portrait run, and a bigger one to check off the list. Down to 4 remaining. Thanks Bryan for a great transaction!

Bill

[LOUCARDFAN]

Awesome additions everyone!

[charlietheexterminator]

[packs]

I've always liked that card of Lou. Nice pick up.

The cardboard definitely makes more of an impression with me than the Wheaties--which pretty much taste like cardboard.

[fkm_bky]

BAAAHAHAHAHA! I don’t even consider them part of my subset. But I’ll pick up some nice replicas at some point.

Last 4 are Green Cobb, Matty, Brown and Chance Red.

Fun, fun, Scott

[AMPduppp]

On a tight budget so I never thought I'd own a Wagner from his playing days, but scored this E106 from my LCS today!

[Spike]

One of 1940's "retouched photo" cards arrived today. Not sure where in the production process they decided to smooth out his face.





Tris Speaker got similar treatment.

[gm1967]

A few items picked up at the NATIONAL two weeks ago.

[Eric -goudeyhunter]

Thanks for letting me take a peak at this one at the National, Ed...quite an awesome pickup! Congrats!!

[midmo]

1917-20 M101-6 Felix Mendelsohn Zack Wheat.jpg

[nolemmings]

ALWAYS very nice to look at m101-6s. That Wheat with the glove in the back pocket is one of my faves from that set, one of about 100 favorites.

I agree there are many favorites for me to in that set.

[smitti8]

Finally sorted out my National haul. Apparently as I wandered from table to table my collecting focus seemed to wander as well...

[charlietheexterminator]

Really nice PSA 2.5 Sweet Lou. Thanks guys for the previous comments. Thanks Ryan, I’m doing much better these days.

[Foo3112]

Great cards. I'm not familiar with all of them but outstanding Red Cobb and 39 Play Ball Williams. Keep 'em coming.

[Jcosta19]

Figured this fit better on the card side than memorabilia.
The BEAR is a little scuffed but super cool sign.
Found it at a random Facebook antiques and sign sale.

One of these days we'll have the pleasure of meeting in person. Thanks again Bill!

[brass_rat]

Thank you, Peter, for this wonderful Cy. I've been looking for a nice one for many years...

[nickers]

Took me about 7 years to track one of these down, finally got one
