Great postcard Pete! I really like the postmark showing it was used as intended.

Outstanding Ruth rookie postcard Pete!

(there are more than two postmarked examples known, the Copeland and Carrigan's wife copies for example)

Great postcard Pete. That was in my collection at one time. So cool that it is postmarked from the 3rd game of the World Series - a 2-1 Red Sox win!

Here is another part of the deal that Phil referenced above. So cool to be able to do an old fashioned trade for something that you really want. I knew that Wiltse existed in the Rose Co. postcard set, but adding one to my collection had always eluded me. When I saw that Phil had picked one up, I contacted him and he went out of his way to make a deal with me. Really happy to have been able to add this one to my collection.

Somebody colored in the corners along the way, but it is still a very nice looking card.

Thanks for letting me know Jeff, didn’t realize there were others postmarked. Kevin, didn’t know it was in your collection or the history on the day it was mailed, cool stuff!

Missed out on a CJ in Scott's last pre-war auction, so of course I go and spend even more on this one. But anyway, glad to have a CJ hall of famer in the collection.

[BuzzD]

Another great Board member transaction. Nice T204 Ball and an E122 Bodie (none graded by PSA or SCG) Thanks Ed
These cards went from Buffalo to Memphis to Long Island NY - but never quite lost!

[yanksfan09]

Thrilled to find a Tesreau D381 to start the year and very happy the M101-6's arrived safely after a nearly 30 day priority mail shipping trip. Photo is Minneapolis team in 1938 with Ted Williams.

[GasHouseGang]

These should have been in the December pick-ups, but the post office had other ideas.

[Casey2296]

Thrilled to find a Tesreau D381

Not sure I'd ever charge the mound with that grizzled veteran staring me down.

Nice pick up Erick.

Thanks. Agreed, I don't think I'd mess with many of the players from back in that era! There certainly weren't any coddled and pampered athletes back then!

[Casey2296]

My 1st Obaks picked up from a member. Thanks Turner.

[Casey2296]

And my 2nd M131. He's a little beat up but he's a Newsboy. Thanks Mac.

So I was the winner of the Collection of nearly 500 Zeenut cards in the most recent Heritage Auction. I don't remember being more excited about getting a collection in the mail than I was to get this one. The description was so vague and there were so few pictures that there could literally be anything in there.

I made a video on my YOUTUBE channel going through the collection for the first time. I was hoping for a few gems hidden in there BUT I WAS COMPLETELY UNPREPARED FOR JUST HOW AMAZING THE COLLECTION ACTUALLY WAS!!!

Please check out the video a the link below...

[Aaron Seefeldt]

Thank you for filming your newly acquired Zeenut (and Tin Tops) book. So cool! I really enjoyed going through the book with you and congrats on the checklist! I hope you can get it uncovered without too much damage.

[Vintagecatcher]

Awesome video!

Amazing zeenuts and Tin Tops!

Patrick

[brianp-beme]

Every collector has to see Rhett's video...it made my heart pitter-patter as he got overwhelmed discovering just about everything you could want from the 1915-21 Zeenut sets, plus Colgan's Tin Tops. It has to be one of the top hidden auction finds. Shame on Heritage not spending a little more time detailing this scrapbook (poor consigner!), but one heck of a score, and a big congrats to someone (Rhett) who appreciates and collects the Zeenut sets.

The 1919 ad listing available Zeenuts is quite the score too, and I absolutely love the photo of the original collector with his fellow baseball buddies...a priceless gem.

Dang...

Brian

[Jason]

That's a nice album and a fun video to watch. Thank you.

Thank you, Buzz. You left out the Sioux Falls, South Dakota stop.

[gabrinus]

Nice Zeenuts and Baltimore Newsboy guys...Jerry

Seconded on all of this - except I haven't watched the entire video yet, and now you've spoiled the Tin Tops. Come on man, you gotta put *spoiler alert* on it!

Please post an "after" video to let us know how many you were able to detach.

Thanks Jerry, as you know, such a great set just super hard to acquire. Makes a nice compliment to E94's too.

[YazFenway08]

Zeenut=awesome Rhett! Great pickup. With the help of a couple Net54ers I have started my Zeenut collection this year and have loved learning more about the PCL. As a Southern and Appalachian League guy, literally a world apart.

You take care of the Limb McKenry I see, top left, in that picture...

Mike

[RCMcKenzie]

Nice grab, Rhett, looks like a fun collection to unpack. Here's one from tonight's GMCards2 auction...They have really offered some nice cards lately.

[Vintagecatcher]

Nice way to start off the year with a Johnny Kling T5 Pinkerton Cabinet!

Many thanks to Turner!

Patrick

[buymycards]

Felt lucky to win these at a decent price.

[Natswin2019]

Checked off one of my collecting goals for for the year and picked up this Clark Griffith. HoFer card pick ups are always fun.

[Zan]

Very excited to have this one. Thrilled with the centering and clarity

[whaler]

Thank you to a kind forum member for a shot at this one.

[Vintagecatcher]

Congrats Whaler!

How many 1911 Obaks does that make?

Patrick

[the-illini]

Excited to add this Galvin to my OJ collection

[Aaron Seefeldt]

Just got this supplement from the Blum's Bulletins. I don't know much about them (other than the full set on eBay currently) so if anyone has any info or can direct me to more info on them I'd be thankful.

[Casey2296]

Nice Obak & OJ, great pickups. Mail day was fun today, received this from another member. Thanks Jay, appreciate it.

[doug.goodman]

My 77th m113 supplement, and I'm always looking for more...

[sando69]

nice pickup, chris.
i think every collector should have a pud!

[Casey2296]

Finally got around to grading some cards I collected as a kid and they arrived today. Please excuse the post war examples but they look kinda neat as a group.

Good lord

[ksfarmboy]

That Jackie is awesome! The others are not too bad either.

[charlietheexterminator]

Phil, awesome group of cards, centering is on the money, congrats

[CobbSpikedMe]

Beautiful pick ups Phil. Really nice.
