:eek: wow!

Tyler - Great card of Duffy and I think the Mayo's are a beatiful set ! Sort of underated if you ask me...

Great pick-up on the Eastern League composite, John.

beautiful composito John!

Sterling winnings in hand
 

Received my Sterling winnings today (damn fast!). Up to 332 on the main set in SGC 40.

Pretty happy about this Matty.

Got a call today from Wayne at Shoebox to let me know Mr. Wagner is on his way to his new home. As you all know, Wayne is top notch. Thanks Wayne!!

And...nice Matty Pete!

You should be very happy with it Pete; super nice for the low grade!

Thanks for the Clarke.

That composite is o.k., I mean if your into that sort of thing.:)

Beautiful cards everyone.

Very happy with this card from LOTG auctions because:

1) It is my first E98
2) It has my favorite E98 background - I'm a sucker for the bright colors on old cards
3) Walsh is laughing on it - cards that have players smiling/laughing make me smile too
4) It is from the Rudy Strejc collection - a little extra history attached to a card never hurt anyone

T205 Joss
 

Hello all - normally I lurk but I am very excited to add this guy to my T205 set! I had been looking for a while for one with decent centering.

Thanks Jake...LOL...it took me about 2mins to figure out what you were talking about on the Clarke...that is my Clarke didn't even notice. Enjoy and thank you.

Cheers,

John

P.S. Very nice looking Joss.

Nice duo of T205s, Guy, and sweet framed piece, John!

Hell, this whole thread is killer. Great stuff, all!

One more from last night.

Recent Mile High victory
 

I lost out on a handful of m116's, but managed to reel this guy in for a price that I felt was fair...

Thanks, John. I've been enjoying yours all day!

^^^ it's always nice to see cards so old look so good. Sharp!

Thanks again to Al and Love of the Game auctions!

What a month Chuck!!!

Oh
 

My first Japanese card.. quite a jump for me, but a perk of being a "Wandering Drifter". The seller was great and even included a book on Japanese baseball cards/history with the card. A new collecting interest is born :D

This is seriously too cool.

I've had had to cut myself off for this month (January over-indulgence), but I got this one in just under the wire on the 31st and it arrived today. I love these things. The illustrations are great and the advice is sound...."Never slide headfirst. Too much chance of you getting hurt and your team losing a valuable man."

Thanks. There were a couple of these Oh rookies listed on eBay recently, but as I learned maybe only about 50 or so in existance. Both went unsold. I contacted the sellers, agreed on a deal with one of them, and in the meantime learned a lot about Japanese cards through email back and forth with both of them. Couldn't be happier with the card, and with the pleasent exchanges that came with it.

t206 Marquard
 

Picked up at a reasonable price from D&A. Turned out to be a Factory 649. Nothing major, but a little cool.

Yes, indeed. My checkbook is saying the same thing. :)

Thanks, man!

I actually like it better this way:

Feb Pick up

February pick Ups
 

Great Pieces everyone! Absolutely OUTSTANDING!
Erick, Waz, Wonka, Jake, jason, Chuck, and all the rest....wow!:eek:

That's a cool card, Leon! I know you'd mentioned you were looking for one. Congrats on crossing another off the list.

One of my best pick ups recently...
 

I have been fortunate enough to pick up a few n172s recently. I'm trying to sell most (see BST), but here is the best one I picked up...

Travis

I found the pic I was thinking of - sorry, not the same one.

Thanks again to obcmac via the B/S/T:

From the BST, thanks Greg!

BTW ... Very nice Nadja Leon!

Someone was a little hungry it looks like.
I love this addition to my HOF collection.
Only graded example at any level, as according to my research this same card accounts for the single Auth grade from both SGC and PSA. Maybe someone was hoping for a 1 on a crossover?

Jason,

I like that T210-4 Schafer ---- with his sweeter only on one arm, and over the shoulder, and his glove tucked under his arm --------- not your everyday pose :)


But that makes T210's FUN

Christopher and Ed wanted to say hi

Woah, both awesome.:eek:

Sweet W600!

Just showed up today. Rounds off my other T206s.

A trade...
 

After seeing a B&W e98 for sale, I was lucky enough to find one! Thanks Jimi!

My new favorite card, and my first Zeenut, Kid Durbin from the 1912 issue. What makes him so special? He was a bit player for the 1907 & 1908 World Series champion Chicago Cubs! It arrived earlier this month through a Net54 transaction.

A couple of Ebay specials that I just got back from SGC today. My first T205 card, and a 1934 Goudey. Great way for a bottom feeder like me to break into the Gold Borders, and for about $10.00!

Ha! I was trying to figure out what that was under his arm. I recognized the glove, but I thought he was holding something else under his arm, as well. I didn't even notice the different shirt sleeve colors. :)

My February pick up,
In the mail, i will receive it tomorow !
A new friend for my Plank

nice to see...you got your magie!

Yep thanks !
10 month of negociation for this card.
My first idea was to buy a SGC Magie. I will perhaps submit that card to SGC for a re-slab...
