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!

Nice Feller. Is that his rookie?

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

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

Just got in this PC796 Cobb/Wagner. As I have mentioned before, I cannot post pics on this site unless it is in collage format, so I will picture it next to its sister-card, my novelty cutlery Cobb/Wagner.

Great pair Orlando!

I don't understand this. You escaped Castro but you can't post a scan?

Slowing down a bit but found room in the budget to get my WaJo portrait. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...71f46b728a.jpg

I've never even been to Cuba. Second generations get lazy. I only visit n54 on my phone, so I think that's where the issues arise. Only photos from my "Layout" app download on here.

I can almost assure you it is in fact your phone that is the issue. I think the forum kind of goes along my lines of thinking on phones, we both hate them. We say to get a computer and get off of your phones!!

Leon, you forgot to order me to get off your lawn.

Orlando-Do you use an iPhone? I have no problem uploading images from mine. I can walk you through what I do.

Carl great Wajo and my favorite from the series. Orlando congrats on your Cobb/Wagner PC796! Whats the Pop on it, under ten?

Great local pickup
 

Nice local pickup from a long-time collector. Great time chatting as well.
The pleasant conversation was free, although the card was not :D

Thanks guys. JC, there are 6 graded by SGC and 3 by psa. The Novelty cutlery I posted next to it is a bit more coveted and rare. The novelty cutlery Cobb/Wagner has 3 graded by PSA and 1 by SGC. They are EXTREMELY tough, and I was lucky to get both (on different occasions) from the grand purveyor of all things rare, Kevin Struss.
Jason, that Addie Joss looks better than a 5. If I didn't see the flip, and was told it was an 8, I would believe it.

Not a photo or postcard guy, but I really liked this ad piece. I can imagine it hanging in an old Caddy dealership.

Nice Jay, I was bidding but fell asleep! Great photo.

And no shame in being a photo or postcard guy. Embrace it! ;)

Who produced the pc796 postcards? That's what I want to know!

Jeff, if you don't know, there is a zero percent chance that I will. All I know is that it is a defined set from a defined year and is comprised of great looking rare cards.

He's totally undercover. He just bought an Oneonta PC from Jim. Post it!

They are great looking postcards. I've been trying to solve the mystery of who produced them forever.

That postcard could have an interesting player. I'll have to check more closely when it arrives.

The strealth postcard guy

Thanks Jay!

Nice Evers. Love the huge borders.

I have a scan of it but it took my over six years to get a Kling with
this plate scratch.

There are three different Klings that match Mordecai Brown scratches.

From the Russell Roth collection. Apparently.

PE2 PIN Diamond Gum Bill Carrigan
 

Excited to have picked up my 2nd PE2 Pin.

Glad to bring Bill Carrigan back to Maine!

Patrick

Brian-Uncle Fester never looked better. Interesting that over time he progressed from cigarettes to light bulbs. Bright move on his part. Sorry!

Thank you, Jay. Yeah, he went from "The Kid" which brought about child labor laws to being just about destitute to a TV human light socket.

A lot of members assisted in making this card happen. Thank you Chad, Tom, Chuck, Luke, and Ron for all of your work, diligence, and flexibility. I really appreciate it!

This makes 8/11 for the Kling back run with all 5 difficult backs in hand.

Thank you again, fellas!

Congrats NJ, you finally got it, good job to all that helped

1912 Portsmouth PC with Southworth
 

Haven't had a solid pick-up in a few months...this one certainly qualifies. It's a 1912 Portsmouth Cobblers Team PC with HOFer Billy Southworth and it's pretty much the nicest and clearest image on a postcard I've ever seen:

I agree it is the nicest PC pic I have seen

Wow, gorgeous Derek!

March Pickup's
 

Derek great Postcard. Portsmouth is my hometown keep me in mind if you decide to part with it.

Cobb M110
 

Just won the Cobb M110 SGC 10 this AM. bad pic from ebay but will take a better scan of the card once I receive it.

Very nice Cobb!!

Great Cobby! The one in our current auction is getting a lot of attention as well. Definitely a card on the rise and for good reason.

Anyone here get the Wagner from that seller?

Hi Jeff, I won the Wagner. IMO, it was a fantastic price in my favor.

Awesome Cobb you got there Taylor, enjoy

Agreed. Great price and great pickup. Congrats!

You too Chuck! Made a bid at the last minute on the Wagner to try and double up... cant wait to get it in hand... we will both have to rescan and post because the scans the seller had up were pretty poor.

Many 19th century tobacco cards featured actresses but only one featured professionals:

another postcard pickup...I .tried to buy a copy on ebay listed at 200 or 250....then I offered our member, who had it on ebay, 175 and he blocked me. This one, with envelope, was around 50 bucks. Karma won on this one. And that member might get booted any time because he is a dic#

LOLOLOL Names!

My latest Diamond Star...thanks to eBay coupon earlier this week made it more palatable...

A few recent additions to my E121 set - a big HOF'er with small borders, a small HOF'er with big borders, and a rare type-2 back.

WOW!!!! Congrats...what a pickup!

Great one Ryan!!!!! :) :eek: :cool:

Eyeballs popping out! Congrats Ryan. I know you wanted that card for quite some time. WOW!

yowzer!!!!!!

Great pickup Ryan, the front looks awesome!

Eh. It's ok.

;)

SPLASH!!!

What was that?

That was Ryan.

https://m.popkey.co/69ea7c/w6AAA.gif

Incredible score, Ryan!

That is something to crow about! Congrats!

Would be nice if we make a monthly sticky post. With top 3 pickups of the year as part of the sticky. The Ty Cobb back and Mr. Plank would be #1 and 2...


Jeez, and its only March....

Thanks everyone. I am beyond excited. I have been after one of these for about a year now; I have been the underbidder on almost every Plank at auction since middle-2017 (always the bridesmaid...), and have been unsuccessful in a few private deals. But everything works out for the best, because, in my opinion, this Plank is a remarkable specimen and was worth the wait. Attached is a picture of the back. The stain up top is from a sticky hinge that used to hold the card to an album. IMO it does not detract from the back, and, really we are buying the Plank for the front/picture, right? I also like it because I know its history - it was owned by Brian Goldner for the past 28 years (JujuDrum on this forum) and Barry Halper before that. God willing, this card will not see another owner for many decades.

As an aside, I love that I can share this here -- my wife and friends either think I have a screw loose or they dont care....
