You outbid me for the E94 Sam Crawford in the Collector Connection auction. Such a cool card. Congrats!

Thank you! I saw your post about looking for one after that auction ended and had a feeling you were in the mix on it.

Not a new pick-up, but re-discovered in the bottom of one of my desk drawers where I must have put them to keep them flat. I completely forgot I had these. The stamps are really great for some kind of display. I have my work cut out for me.

[Howe’s Hunter]

Thanks to all for heads-up messages and others assists.

And no idea why images are upright when shot and uploaded, but show up on their sides here. Sorry.

[ullmandds]

I’ve never loved this card because I don’t think there is much resemblance to Ruth… But all of the questions about this issue intrigued me… and it’s early!

[Yoda]

Pete, isn't your Ruth card supposedly his first in a Yankee uniform?

its debatable...research suggests ruth is depicted in "transitional" garb hence the red sleeves...but I think there are other examples of red sleeves in the set?

Image was made from a famous Conlon photo of Ruth batting for the Red Sox as mentioned in other threads.

Nice pickup!

The right one finally came along thanks to REA, the pickup of a lifetime for me and one that makes completing the T3 set now actually seem possible! This card is in a PSA AA holder, the holder's been cropped out as I've done in all of my T3 scans. Despite the alteration, it's a really beautiful T3 Cobb IMO and I'm proud to be the new owner.

Thanks Jeff, Jay, and Phil for the kind words. And us two Chads also happen to both be WaJo collectors! Who's copying who?!?

Thanks Leon, Jeff and Phil! I would prefer to say that us Chads just have great taste. Can’t go wrong with Cobb or WaJo.

...I found this inside a pamphlet , it's page 15 ,
about Bradenton , Florida , which is the area just South of Tampa where the St. Louis Cardinals held their Spring training in the thirties , back when Diz was a household name , and always a great interview ( and promoter , and marketer)..."The Gas House Gang" of players who were always hanging around the place were great fodder for the sportswriters of the time........we on this forum here were all born too late , dang it...

[hammertime]

Glad to add one of these beauties to the collection...can't complain about this 1.5!

[MattyC]

Love that '14 Cobb, and those Green Ruths. People sleep on how hard that 181 is to find perfectly registered.

I am beyond thrilled to add this piece to my collection. With the rookie and '17s having gone interstellar, for early Ruth pitching this is pretty much "the" one that's kinda sorta still obtainable— at least for the moment. Finally decided to consolidate a ton of stuff into the right one.

That's an awesome card.,, Congrats!

Thanks, fellas. Been holding it all morning, not sure it is leaving my hands all day.

Great looking Ruth Matty C. Total winner. Enjoy

[t206kid]

A couple huge ones for me this month! And a T206 Wags of sorts.

[Casey2296]

Great pick ups Jay, congratulations.

[MVSNYC]

Jay, great (GREAT) pick ups!

[MattyC]

Thanks, fellas. Hasn't been out of my hands much since yesterday morning LOL.
Super cool Cy Young up there, too!

[MuncieNolePAZ]

Awesome pick-ups Jay! Love both of those. Bid on the Young for a little bit. Glad you were able to get them.

Chad

[Cmvorce]

Mind blowing cards being picked up this month by you all

[babraham]

Came so close a few times to snagging this card, but finally was able to secure one!
Very excited to add Mr. Jackson to the collection.

[Casey2296]

Congrats Brian, monster card.

[ccre]

Not quite one of the big boys in this set but happy to now have this one.

[mrreality68]

Great Looking Eddie Plank Dave

Great Eye Appeal

Beauty! Was that in one of the recent auctions? So many catalogs these days they become a blur. Major congrats.

Thank you! I've had that card on my want list for so many years.

Yes it was in the last Heritage auction. It's got a decent crease in the upper right that is much more visible from the back, but the front has such great eye appeal.

That Plank CJ is his best card, IMO, for several reasons. He's in an A's uniform, but he's a Federal Leaguer, and a great write-up on the back. And it's a CJ. It's just a great looking card. Congratulations!

[LincolnVT]

My December pick up.

The images in the "A" set actually show the player identified on the card, whereas, the "B" and "C" sets repeat the poses from the "A" set and do not show the actual player.

Cool pickup Leon!

Tip of the cap, Patrick.
I felt so lucky when I found mine, a couple of years ago.
Cool thing for me is; I try to stay "old school" as much as I can; an RC is a first appearance in circulated product; excludes, supplements, post cards, game cards and the like.
I strongly believe that the 1908 E91A Bresnahan is his true RC.

(Lover of all baseball history backstory; especially when it involves cards!)

[Vintagecatcher]

Thanks for the tip of the hat Ben!

Added a cool handpainted 855 FDC to my 1939 First Day Covers collection.

[Dead-Ball-Hitter]

Finally got my T200 Red Sox in the mail today!
