Not much here and surely not much compared to others with your T206s, etc. But here's my pickups. The McCovey was in a $1 box at a show this weekend, so it wasn't technically August. But close enough.

Thinking about sending the Banks and Mantle to PSA. Just don't know if I want to do the $20 or whatever just for 2 cards. Anyway, here's the goods....

You could send in the Banks and Mantle on Bobby's group submission for cheaper than you could do it yourself.

I'm really hesitant to send off with someone I don't know and have never dealt with.

Thanks Orlando! I did what I usually do and created an eBay listing to orientate the pics correctly and then save he pics from the listing, but for whatever reason they still came up horizontal this time. I'm sure there's an easier and more effective way to do it but that's always worked for me until now. Thanks for the comment as well. I had to purchase something to help make up for missing out on that CJ Cobb 😢

My two very casual purchases from the National
 

Went in as a fresh and new National-ie. The sights (1.2million dollar cards afoot), sounds (lots of chatting and sports talk), and even smells (cafeteria food and body odor) made it all a fantastic experience.

I asked every dealer I saw with vintage if they had any Johnny Klings. I would say at least 49 out of every 50 tables said they had none, because the only two folks who had Klings, I bought from! :].

First is the 2.5--got a very generous deal on this from the dealer. I am very happy with the corners on this card and overall appeal--doesn't get much better for a 2.5!

This one was a duplicate, but I couldn't pass it up for the price:

This makes 7 (I think) for the Kling back run, with a few more possibly on the way over the course of the next week.

Great pickups!

Please let me know if that red Chance is available!

Thanks! It all depends on the amount of glue on the cards. I would hate to remove something that's been there 100 years.

August is off to a great start. Nice pick ups guys.

Greg - That Gehrig painting is way cool!
