Awesome Ruth pickups, Jim.

I recently added a couple 1931 Tour of Japan postcards. The one with Gehrig kind of goes with the Ruth one that I already had.

[BabyRuth]

Thanks Gary, Love that Ruth postcard!!!

Is that Lefty Grove with Gehrig?

[glchen]

Thanks, Jim!

Yep, that’s Lefty.

Nice one, Phil. I struck out on the VE Bescher for my Bescher back run. I collect this back that I call Kotton type 1. If you get to the end of your run, and only need this one to finish, I'll trade it to you. If you already have this back, then that's even better.

Thanks for the the thought Rob, I need all the help I can get.

I do have the NGO already, looking for the NGO "Not In A Trust" or type 2 back.

Congrats on the pick up, very nice card.

[RCMcKenzie]

I don't have that one. If I see one, I will let you know. Also was able to snag this MINO.

[brass_rat]

Glad to be of help, Phil!

And thanks guys for the Cobb comments!

[gabrinus]

Nice ones Phil and Rob...Jerry

Thanks Phil and Jerry. I was glad to add 2 more T216's.


Nice Cobb and Meyers, y'all.

[VintageBen]

I had a really nice sgc 1 about 5 years ago and I was dumb enough to let it go. I think this is the most beautiful card ever created.

There are some awesome pick ups in this thread- lots of rare stuff and many serious players. Congrats everyone.

I picked this up in LOTG last night, it’s rare and it’s early Ruth, so why not

Great card Phil, definitely a tough color combo. Congrats!

[V117collector]

I just received this Crescent in the mail from a board member (JMANOS), very easy to deal with, and hope to do more business with him in the near future.

Been looking for a Crescent for a long time and I'm happy to have this beater in my collection. Still looking for more examples so if you know of any for sale please lmk.

First pickup in a while and my first Goudey (thanks Bobby!). Happy to add this to the collection. That'll probably be it until I can nab a Green Cobby!

[clydepepper]

This is the first time I've studied over a vintage pickup thread since I sold off almost all of mine early in 2021.

It's refreshing to see some beauties still new homes.

Very Impressive.

[Seiklis]

Well my one purchase from Sterling came in today, glad to finally correct missing this guy the first go around

[gabrinus]

Nice ones Phil and Jack...Jerry

[brianp-beme]

Great blank back McQuillen card, but how did SGC determine it was a T216, and not an E90-1, E106 or D303 blank back? Does it have paper stock instead of cardboard?

And it doesn't matter which set it ends up being from, still a neat card.

From my understanding when the lot of 17 was found it was with several Kottons...(I think it was all 17 at once, can't check cause Goodwin's site is dead now) I can definitely say this guy was one of those sold in that though. I won the Sweeney originally

Also heard there's some fairly evident cardboard stock differences between the T216s and the Es...he's definitely cardboard from what I can see
