That’s a classic story re the -2 Baker. One time I somehow “butt purchased” a totally overpriced 55 Clemente, I think PSA 6 off eBay. Talking like $7k. I freaked out, didn’t pay, requested to cancel, and emailed seller. Dude cancelled the purchase thankfully. Touch screens suck sometime!

Thank you, Jason.

Three more P2 catcher pins
 

Thanks to David Bryan's recent eBay auction, I was able to pick up three more P2 catcher pins.

As I have learned over the last year, Stanage and Needham are very hard to find!

It's not a Hall-of-Famer or anything, but it's a big pickup for me. It's also the most I've ever spent on one card in 30 years of collecting (I haven't bought many high priced cards). Thanks to the fellow board member that sold it to me.

Three Scoops

Happy collecting!

Wasn't particularly looking for this card. But the centering and full borders are T206 Mecca for me. 20% coupon sealed the deal.

OT:

Obviously a bit of a theme here. Plugging away on a T206 Monster in PSA/SGC 4-5 with great centering

And an unexpected pickup from a card shop this week -- part of about 200+ strip cards they had just acquired.
Couldn't resist picking out about 25 or so.

Fun, fun, Scott :rolleyes:

Great cards as usual everyone! I picked up two N172 Johnstons last week for my pose run. I only need the Hands on Hip pose for completion. Good times.

Thanks Sam!

Great additions, Jason. Good luck with the final piece. Any reason behind going after Johnston's cards?

A nice T206 portrait and my first e92.

Great cards, NJ.

Nice NJ, love that Magee

That 15 CJ Matty is gorgeous, have always loved that card.

I'm back after taking a few years off...

Thank you for the kind words, Chuck and Sam. Definitely means a lot coming from two guys of high collecting stature :).

Bill--great Waddell. One of my favorite portraits in the set when it's done right, and that copy is done right.

Thanks NJ!

Can never go wrong with a good Rube! Welcome back.

No.s 16 and 17 ....... half way there .... :) ..... not to say where there is ..... ;)

Fun, fun, Scott :rolleyes:

Nice ones Scott!

This thread made me google gonfalon bubble. Haha!

Added a Cobb
 

My 1st pickup this year. Grabbed this Red Cobb, still looking for a decent 33 Ruth, maybe later in the year.

Pickups in the past week

Woohoo, three in one day!
 

3 best hitters in baseball. Thanks to Michael for the nice box it was shipped in. Allows me to bring them home from work. =)

That’s a killer score Joshua. That Williams is incredible

Chris,

That's an awesome 2.5 Cobb. Love the image on that one.

Thanks Charlie!

Joshua, I see “taking a break” is working out for ya!!! I wish we had bet Bc you hit the over weeks ahead of schedule. Man, cards is one wicked addiction. Congrats, great cards.

And very pretty Cobb 2.5

Thanks Ryan. The "break" is what I have been telling myself...

You have great taste in cards Joshua.

Nice Williams rookie 7.5

Thanks guys.

And Jeff I think we all hope to show off what we get at your auction next month.

Thanks guys. It is a very slow time for me right now. I am hoping my consignment @ LOTG does well, so it can lead into another purchase maybe or down the road.

Very pleased with the look of this one in-person. Ends a long personal quest for this card.
A number of good Net54'ers bid on this card as well. If it ever leaves my collection, it'll come straight to the BST. Gotta keep it in the family!

Attachment 308852

Nice Feller. Is that his rookie?

Here is another one received today... Thanks Neal for the Raja!

Attachment 308869

Awesome card, Raymond.

Thanks, Heck of a consolation prize to that Feller.:eek:

Nice card. Love the M116

Hear hear -- that Wagner is outstanding!

Couple of adds to budget-minded my Bender collection.

Very nice pin Bob! Wow that Play Ball Bender doesnt look like the Chief at all IMHO. Of course he was much older in the photo.

Finally back in the game. Old collection out and new collection incoming!

First card for the new collection. Thanks Dave for the great auction!

Wow! Brilliant Rube! Welcome back!

Thanks Bill. I was going to limit myself to career era only but I liked the Play Ball so much I expended my boundary. :)

Nice Babe Ruth... I was looking at that one....

Tough card, always been a favorite
