Mounting stains on the back but I didn’t mind them, beautiful front. Tough card. Always like collecting Clarke.

[Scott L.]

Happy to add a tough card that's even tougher in an off back.....

[Brian]

Pretty happy to pick up this under-appreciated (IMO) rookie-era card of Jackie.

[Leon]

Not a card but it is the end of a quest I began in the late 1970s. This is the last Orioles media guide I needed to complete my collection of printed guides and yearbooks for them and the Baltimore Colts. Time and again I was either outbid or 'out-budgeted' until I had my offer accepted last week. And it looks to be nicer than many of the ones I missed out on. It's on its way to the authenticator (I didn't know anything other than cards got that treatment) and then into my hot little hands.

Very nice card, Phil - congrats! I've yet to add one of these to my type collection.

[Exhibitman]

Well. it isn't baseball but I figure two American heroes deserve the front page:

[Mutton Chop Yaz]

And thank you to Dan for this one.

[x2drich2000]

Ben, the WW Smith Wagner may be one of my favorite postcards of his. Congrats.

You finally found one!

[Casey2296]

Some nice pick ups from members so far. Bob, congrats on closing out your almost 50 year quest, quite an accomplishment.

Val and Leon, thanks for the good wishes. Ed, yes, Dave was kind enough to let go of this one from his PC. Fun stuff.

[puckpaul]

Picked up these two C56 key hockey rookies. There have been PSA registry fights going on in the C55, C56 and C57 that have exploded prices recently. These are really fun vintage cig cards and the only sport besides baseball to have substantial prewar sets. Trying to finish these sets so had to grab a couple nice but lower graded examples from the dupes sold off by the registry contestants.

Attachment 574349Picked up this lot at the WSSCA show. There was some really incredible stuff in the room, especially for PCL collectors.

[Lobo Aullando]

I spent quite a bit of time in that corner, and there were at least a few folks looking at those transit passes.

Thanks Phil. Weirdly the guide showed up in my mailbox, directly from the seller and bypassed the authenticator.

After over 2 years of trying to educate an eBay seller what he had, I finally got this for my original offer. The seller had listed a ton of 5.00 or less crap-o-la and this item. Of course he acts like it’s the Holy Grail, and that he is representing a consignor. He ended up completely copying Dan McKees description of another currency, and started it out around 5k. Slowly he kept lowering the price and it became a quarterly thing for me to make the same offer and ask him if he was tired of paying all the fees to show it. He finally accepted and now I don’t have to see it pop up every time I do my currency search. First time I’ve made an eBay purchase in over a year as well, and after my purchase eBay wanted me to take a sports card survey which I was happy to really let them know how bad their platform has become for pre war sport cards.

Nice Cobb…not sure why the exhibits from this set have lagged others, it’s a difficult set and for exhibits still early (1922) in the decade. Wajo, Grover C Alexander, Cobb, Ruth, Hornsby, Collins, Speaker, Heilman all in the set.

[BeanTown]

Ben, love both those postcards! I guess more and more people are reading Adams book about exhibits and the secret is getting out. Can’t go wrong with any of the 1922 Eastern exhibits loaded with HOFers

Nice! I like collecting Eddie collins. Very undervalued/underrated as a player!

[mrreality68]

Very nice Jeff!

Tis’ a beauty!

[MVSNYC]

Jay, congrats on the Pirate Chance, that's an epic card!

[Howe’s Hunter]

Jim found these in a lot he win from Goldin. I knew of the Knight and Dahlen, as there had been examples of them from last September’s Goldin auction of the 975 Howe cards in one lot. Comparing scans to cards, the Knight is from that lot, but Dahlen is a different card. Willis is a new one, as there had been a batting version, but no portrait.

My gut tells me more and more Howe cards are going to show up in large card lots from Goldin. My guess is when the 6,000 card lot showed up for them last year, probably the 975 stamped cards they sold as one lot were all in one or two boxes together. As they are sorting and going through the other 5,000 plus cards, probably more Howe stamps will be found among them and be a part of larger lots. Howe may have been closer to a complete set than Scott and I thought after last September.

Thanks to all who give me a heads up when you see one.

Attachment 575973Picked this up from my LCS

[Brownie33]

This 1922 W575-2 Eddie Collins has seen it all! I’m all for it.

[MVSNYC]

Chad, huge congrats on acquiring the WaJo Hindu! Glad it worked out like it did (Thanks Ryan!).

[cjedmonton]

Dipping my toe in raw prewar, so took a flyer on this W517.

Thanks Mike! Me too. Good deal all around.

[ParisianJohn]

The winners of 3 and 2 games respectively in the 1903 World Series. My apologies to the estate of Denton Young for his image being a little blurry, but it was tough to get a raw and slabbed together.

I know this next pair isn't pre-war but I had to post my favorite broadcast team as I watched a lot of these guy on WPIX when growing up.

Bill and Phil.jpg

[Lobo Aullando]

And here's the winner of the other three games, also picked up this month.

My kind of card. And with the stain Eddie's suit and his slumpiness are not as noticeable.

[LuckyLarry]

Via Greg Morris I added these two Jacksonville Jays players (1910 T210 red borders). Now on the hunt for "Wahl" the last player I need for my team set.

[Exhibitman]

I collect King Carl and I've always thought that 41 Goudey was a really nice card, Leon. I would like to collect the rainbow on that one (green, blue, red, yellow), but have to settle for now for just the greenie:

[skelly423]

I've been picking up a few nice 1952 Topps lately, here's the newest addition.

[atx840]

Couple of pickups over the last few months. Big thank you to those who helped me add these to the collection. Ryan H, Jeff W, Eric J, Tim W, Jamie B and Mike S!

[gabrinus]

Nice ones Chris...Jerry
