A big thank you to a board member who reached out after my WTB post and helped me finish my DS set with this beauty!

Picked up a few tougher N172's & ones I had been looking for for some time...

Beautiful Averill, Conor. Congrats on finishing that set.

Wow, that is some haul, Rhett! Those are some sweet-looking Old Judge cards!

A nice mix of OJs from NL, AA, WA, & IA, thanks for posting.

Maybe it's a legitimate autograph. Who the hell knows.

Way to Conor!
It shows perseverance to get those high numbers in the DS set.
Have fun!

Was after this card for awhile and finally made a deal on it.

Nice Jay. Great combo

George Mule Muel Hass Haas Spelling Bee
 

http://imagehost.vendio.com/a/204295...LEHAAS_NEW.JPG



..Just added the Burke 4 x 6 , adorably labeled by an earlier owner in fountain pen as "Muel Hass" ( the back has only "Haas" and the Burke stamp , that's it)-- he joins the "American League Service Bureau" 5 x 7 which on the back has , in editors' pencil "George Haas O F " - next to hm up there is the 1933 Worch Cigar Premium on which he is known as "George Hass" and finally the 1936 Goudey Wide Pen Premium R314 Type 1 which has him as " 'Mule' Haas". As an OCD sufferer , I love this hobby.

The Davis Trifecta
 

http://imagehost.vendio.com/a/204295...AVISES_NEW.JPG

..finally got the third and last Davis of the 1937-39 Orcajo Photo Art Cincinnati Reds Team Set ( plus a Joe Dimaggio for some reason )--- about half the set came up on E-Bay auctions in November ; very unusual amount considering it's a somewhat scarce set , all put up by Jonsstats .

..

+1

Great combo, for sure. Nice pick up.

R-303-A 1939 Goudey Premiums (Small,Sepia-toned)

..The Ted Williams from this set is ten times more common than these three unloved and unsaved players. Teddy costs more though. Go figure. My next thread will be " Show us your Mace Browns!" Cue the crickets.....

............. three random back upgrades ....... :)

Ugh, your dupes are my grails.

Well, glad I wasn't bidding on those Cobbs...
Congrats Jeffrey!

True story!

A few pick-ups from last night. I especially love the hand-worked frame on the town team photograph.

Nice Cobbs gentlemen!

..Just picked up the '33 Worch Cigar from last week's PWCC auction ; he joins the Burke 4 x 6 and the Burke post card....he was a handsome beast in his youth ; the Burke 4 x 6 image is one of the youngest-looking images of him I've ever seen , short of his baby-faced Exhibit Rookie.....too bad some damn kid went and wrote on it....

N29
 

Picked these 4 up last week to complete the baseball portion of the set

Campy '55 All-American Sports Club
 

Bought raw from eBay. Sent it in and was pleasantly surprised by the grade. Only one higher in the pop report last I looked, a 9.

Hi guys. I’m normally over on the post-war boards. Have decided to get back into pre-war, Cubs only- this was my first addition:

Got the Peckinpaugh using the recent 10% off coupon from eBay!

I now have 149 of the 176!!!

Funny story - I bought the Smith from member of Net54. I’d never bought anything from him and asked for a couple of references...

He replies that I can call Joe Orlando and/ or Steve Sloan of PSA!!! Said PSA just did a story about him a couple months ago: https://www.psacard.com/articles/art...baseball-cards

As if that wasn’t enough he said check the Miami Heats website.... I’m the VP.

I immediately PayPal f/f the cash!!

Just glad he didn’t ask me for a reference - I’d given him my Mom!!!

Thanks, Andy for my favorite CJ!!! Good luck with your amazing set!

Nice cards, the Red Cobby is a blazer.

Wajo #10
 

And back run progress...

Great stuff Aaron! Love the Cobbie too! Nice WaJo's Jay! Back run is looking good. I'm thinking about doing that with the Matty dark cap.

Very happy to add an E102 to my type cards. And I really like this pose a lot.


.

wow!
 

great pieces!!!

jay- love the run! great idea wow:eek:

Waiting on a few things but pretty happy to get this Jackie ! Glue on the back makes it a 1

phenomenal Jackie :) been looking to add one myself. Weird dynamic against the '48 Leaf. The '47 is the true rookie, better photo, much more aesthetically pleasing overall in my opinion - but much less popular and I've never really pegged why

Thank you! I agree with you on all your points , but after seeing how the portraits have been out pricing the 48 leaf feels like the hobby is getting on board with bonds bread

A 49 Leaf Jackie Robinson rookie card recently sold for 336k. I would say the Leaf is out pricing all of Jackie's other cards.

Well in low grade I should say ..which still shows people are realizing this is his true rc...but it would be fun to see what a psa 9 bonds would go for these days ( not sure if there is a 9 btw)

I don't think there's any question the Leaf card is far more valuable, and THE premiere Jackie issue, I've really just wondered about the "why"

Just 36 hours ago, I didn't know I needed this for my Dots Miller collection because I didn't know it existed. Thanks to some negotiating and overnight shipping, it now resides in the collection.

It is his Rookie Card, at least one of two along with the 1949 Bowman. It is also a very visually appealing card with brilliant colors. I also think the confusion of when it was issued, which Beckett listing it as a 48-49 card, drew collectors to it over a 49 Bowman which some incorrectly believed was issued a year later. The Bond Bread card is a black and white card, which are not popular with collectors, a regional, not a rookie card, and was unknown to a large portion of the hobby when collectors started persuing rookie cards. The Leaf became very popular in the 80s and that popularity continues today.

Thanks to a trade with a good friend I finished my Gypsy Queen Browns Champ set:

J=K cards are among my favorite prewar cards

dots awesome!!!!

From the recent LOTG auction. 1941 NY Yankee Team PC, featuring nine (count 'em) NINE HOFers! (Barrow, Rizzuto, DiMaggio, Gomez, Gordon, McCarthy, Combs, Ruffing, & Dickey). My first career-contemporary card of Ed Barrow. Psyched!!

One more down

J=K
 

Cool J=K!!.....Jerry

Thanks for the trade, Tom.

..found a pretty decent Type 2 "batting" but still need a stain-free "portrait"

.."you're never done , are you ? you're just never done".....She doesn't understand mental illness like she used to....

..

Now that is unbelievable, that has to be a hobby first. GQs are tough to come by and to complete a full subset is incredible. Well done!

Jay, that's awesome!!! Grats. I'm happy for you. Best,

Kenny

Thanks guys! I love Gypsy Queens and am thrilled to have completed that subset.

Great Christmas present to yourself! Nicely done!:D

Congrats, Jay! :D

Thank you and thanks to the J=K lovers who also commented. As I said, I had no idea that this card was on my wantlist, but it also led to me learning more about the set and just how rare it is, so I have a nice appreciation for being able to pick up that particular card.

Two additional arrivals today for my pre-war Cubs collection. It’s not intentional, but I’ve noticed all of the additions so far are pitchers. This is only the 2nd Cracker Jack I’ve ever owned, and I believe this may be my first ever T-205. Love both sets. [emoji4]
