Congratulations!

+1 That is a great action pose. I feel like Nap has some of the best looking cards in the hobby between the M110, his T3 Cabinet, T206 with bat, and Cracker Jack.

Finally got a Buchner Gold Coin and one of what should be a hall of famer!

Nice Waz!

[asphaltman]

Wow, great Weaver, Phil. Love the color. Few recent T206 pickups. Not sure why the Lajoie is really a 1, but I'll take 1's like this all day.

After a long drought I was able to add another N333 SF Hess Newsboy to the collection courtesy Clean Sweep Auction. I've been aware of this trimmed "anonymous" Detroit example for many years and was pleased to see it surface. Upon receiving it I took some high-resolution scans hoping to see evidence of the player's name on the card. Jefferson Burdick catalogued all ten Detroit Newsboys, so I just needed a portion of the name to be visible to make a positive ID. However, the player's name is often difficult to make out even on a complete card as the font is very small, so I knew this was a long shot.

The high-resolution scan paid off and I was able to confirm the anonymous player is none other than Bert Dinsmore, catcher for the Detroit Journal club. I had to adjust contrast and brightness and with a proper squint you can make out portions of key letters.

Bert appears to have played some baseball in his adult life including 1897 with the New England League Newport Colts.

I can't get enough of these cards, hoping more examples continue to surface.

[Casey2296]

Such a fascinating set Joe, congrats on the pick up.

[spec]

According to my notes on the 1897 New England League, Dinsmore played for Youngstown in 1898.

[DeanH3]

Nice haul Jeff. Thanks for posting pics in the other thread too!

[chadeast]

Love the E220 Jeff! Congrats.

[RCMcKenzie]

Another vote for the e220 Ruth. Great card.

Here's another Bescher for the run. This one took only 7 days from BIN to me. I'm impressed. It was all very classy. Kudos to Dean's and eBay.

Jeff, I’m a little envious of the e220. But in honesty congrats, what a monster add on a really tough Ruth issue.

Great pickup on the E220, Jeff. Those are really hard to get in any decent condition.
