Thanks. I am pretty excited and I am glad I was able to work out a deal to sell one of my t205 multi-strikes in time to have funds to purchase this card.

I am curious to see if more miscuts come up in the BSF cards to know if the rest of the sheet was distributed to the same place. If they do show up in the BSF collection we may be able to figure out an entire sheet layout.

Nice silks Todd.

Here's a few that came today:
2 are from a fellow board member, down to needing about 25 more for my Cracker Jack set!

[Tim Kindler]

Andy, Your Mack is incredible and I echo everyone else's comments on it.
Awesome Card! Really neat to see that Ford was above Mack on the sheet!
Way Cool!

That Tinker makes me think of him Carey from the second Ace Ventura movie.

This nice rookie just in from Goodwin.

[paul]

And many thanks to DSTUDEBA for these two beauties. Not quite pre-war, but close enough.

[kdixon]

Picked this up today at a show in KC.

Nice pickup Doug...that's a tough one. My bid didn't even register on that one.

As many of you are aware, two of my major collecting focuses are WaJo cards and Sam Rice Cards. And, you may have seen my recent, ecstatic post in the LOTG Auction pick-up thread where I showed the 1921 Herpolsheimer's WaJo 1-of-1 card that I won in the LOTG Auction that ended a week ago.

Well, guess what - a couple of days after my WaJo post, I received an email from a Net 54 Board member (whom I didn't know, but whom happens to live roughly 25 miles from me) asking if I would be interested in purchasing his 1921 Herpolsheimer's 1-of-1 card of Sam Rice (and, at a reasonable price!). I could hardly believe my eyes as I read this email. Would I be interested - heck, I'd kill for this card, so to speak! I put my check into the mail on Thursday, and the Herps-Rice arrived in today's mail. Are Board members great, or what?!! Bruce, again, MANY THANKS!

I keep pinching myself to make sure that I am not merely dreaming that within a week's time, I have picked up two cards that I never, ever expected that I would be able to obtain. 2014 is already a great year, irregardless (sorry, but I've long used this "incorrect" word) of whether or not I add anything else to my collections for the remainder of this year!

[ullmandds]

congrats Val on some "true" 1 of a kinds!!!

[wonkaticket]

Ok Val, now you're just showing off! Amazing.

[Jeffrompa]

Liked the condition .

[quinnsryche]

Thanks to Chris Buckler for working a deal on the Baker & Jones from Joe's Vintage last auction. Now there's an auction house who knows how to do it. Ended Tues. night, invoice on Wed. morn (pd. Wed). Received card on Fri. No buyer's premium and $3 for postage. Screw the big AH, I'll stick with these guys!

Congrats Val. It is a pleasure to read the joy in your acquisition.. Very happy for you!!

Great pick up Val!

Great job Val

Glad to have met you 3 years ago at the National at Leon's Table.

Hey John, what you deem to be my "showing off" is merely my feeble attempt to "keep up with the Joneses Wonkatickets," which I now realize is even more futile than ever, especially since you've been "showing off" your incredible N172s, each of which is better looking than all of my 70+ N172 Washington-player cards!!!

Seriously, Pete, John, Leon, Jason and Frank, many thanks for the kind comments. You guys and many other Board members have brought me so much pleasure and made this hobby so much more fun for me ever since I found Net 54, which was around the time I retired in 2007 and began having more time to enjoy my hobby.
BEST to ALL,
Val

[paul]

It's been a real postcard-y few days for me. Here is Bob Lemon's true rookie card, the 1947 Van Patrick postcard.

+1...I always enjoy reading fellow collector's excitement and passion for the hobby when they pick up a key item(s) for their collection...this is one part that is truly awesome about our hobby. Thanks for sharing your story and passion for this great hobby of ours...hopefully it is contagious!

[t206hound]

Now have fewer than 100 to get. Also grabbed another 40, but then found out I already had it. I guess this is where it starts getting tough:

Well, let's crank out the ol "congrats Val" message - where is it........ oh here it is.

Congrats Val!


Keep up having a great year!

[sebie43]

That Cobb run is amazing, downright breathtaking, Congrats

[bcbgcbrcb]

Great postcard, Paul, that's a really tough one to find.

Are you still going after all of the BB HOF RC's?

[paul]

Phil, I guess I'd say I collect rookie HOFers but I'm not really going after all of them. The Baltimore Ruth and the Just So Young are a bit beyond my expectations.

[itjclarke]

I never intended to go for the whole SF Seal team, but am now only a handful short. Mohler is coming courtesy of Sterling.
T212 Kid Mohler.jpg

... also never intended to go for a Duffy back run, but I guess I am by default after picking this off the BST (no way I'm chasing the biggies though)
T206 Hugh Duffy Tolstoi.jpg

[freakhappy]

Ian, how am I supposed to buy any cards if you keep swooping them up???

Nice cards, man! I'm beginning to like those OBAKS more and more.

Congrats Paul! I was an under bidder on that one. That guy has had lots if nice postcards on eBay recently.

[Koufax32fan]

This is my first T206 from the great Cubs teams of that era, but it won't be my last. I just love the hairdo. Thanks Tony!

That hairdo reminds me of this guy.

Happy to add this T206 Wheat AB 460, with a bit of a WST on the back to boot!

[Vintageismygame]

Got this in the mail this morning. My first Cobb for the raw T206 HOF group that I am working on.

Great looking AB460 Wheat Scott, very nice PU

[CW]

Great Cobb! Very nice character to that card. Love the sideways belt buckle, too.

You always remember your first Cobb....

I don't remember mine. LOL.

[Jason]

I picked up a couple more Series 4 cards to get to just under 75%.If anyone has one they would be willing to part with that I need ill trade handsomely in your favor.Thank you for any help.

[shernan30]

Here are a few of my additions this month including my first T206 and Old Judge . Still waiting to receive my first postcard.

[kamikidEFFL]

Jealous here on the Goudeys for sure. Man that Frisch is nice

[dog*dirt]

Picked up this T3 of Devlin, I liked the crop mark.

Well... when you're old enough to have pulled your first Cobb directly from a pack of Sweet Caporal, I can see how it might be tough to remember.

A couple recent pickups:

He went back in time.....it's actually fairly easy to do. I'm making another trip back at the end of the month if you'd like to tag along

Now we're talking some toughies! Nice pickups of a couple very hard finds. I love these MMs almost as much as the Cocoas.
