Here are my pickups. 1916 Famous & Barr Shoeless Joe Jackson and T206 Piedmont Tris Speaker





I am very happy with where my bid landed. I thought both were below what i thought comps were.

Great stuff, guys; congrats to all. Jeff, that Cobb... damn.

I got KTFO early on the items I really wanted. I had a fantasy of chasing that signed 1953 Paige and the 1956 Celtics TI picture pack with the Russell but neither was in the cards, so to speak. If my consignment skyrocketed I might have gone for it but it didn't. I did get a little killed on my consignment but was relieved because 24 hours before I was looking at a total wipeout. Gotta love overtime bidding.

i did pick up the Kid Herman boxing set with the expanded checklist and will be breaking it up for resale, so if anyone wants any of the cards, please let me know. Will trade too.

Two years from now will see the 150th anniversary of The National leauge. it was not smooth sailing the first decade. A number of teams came and went and those that had some stability did well. This program is from the first week of First Year of the NL. Each of the 8 teams played 70 Games. The next Two years saw the Leauge shrink to 6 teams and 60 Games 1879 things started looking up 84 games and back up to 8 teams. Collecting 1870's scorecards is a long slow process. But each new program is packed with history and I am grateful they still exist.

So....Happy to add this scorecard to my collection.
