Actually, according to a couple members in that thread, the card was an issue. But I hope they're wrong, and that you enjoy your new Cobb/ Lenox. I think that's a great card. :)

And I hope that we never have another carnival sideshow like that thread. :rolleyes:

A couple of commons and one uncommon:

For those that must know
 

Ah yes, that's why I took the card to the National and had SGC check it out. They said there's absolutely nothing wrong with the card and they stand by their initial grade.

Aaron, great stuff man! Very cool.

AJ, that Aaron is extremely nice. Congrats! Tom (Redzone) has great stuff and is very reasonable.

Happy to add this one. Thanks Joe!

Good day to be named Jason :D

As many others, Pelty is one of my favorite cards. I love hot weather, and he seems to be holding a ball on the surface of Mercury, ready to melt ...

.... fun stuff, Scott :rolleyes:

Real happy to have added this one. When I sell off my collection, I'll be keeping all the 1/1 PCs; this is one of them.

Sweet pickup, Jeff. A candidate for grading for sure.

It's a PSA 5. Just can't see it in the picture.

wow...perfect for your collection, Jeff. I feel like whenever I see a card from that set I'm seeing it for the first time...they are RARE!

Some huge additions Jeff! Congrats!

1947 Bond Bread Jackie Robinson RC
 

Not pre-war, but certainly topical. Thanks Stephen!!

Aaron, when we had our all-too-brief reunion at Tom's table, and I snagged a T206 Cobb bat on PSA3, a card which had become my National Quest, you quietly pulled the red bkg Lenox Tyrus out of your back pocket About all it lacked was a brown Lenox back, which probably is impossible anyway. Man, did Red Zone have some Cobbs and that set of '14 CJ's was tasty. When I thought you were going to buy the Jackson, I had to walk away. Keep in touch.

Here's a cool one. It's a 1944 Snapshot of Joe DiMaggio taken in Honolulu, Hawaii during WWII when he was playing for the 7th Army Air Force Baseball Team. Thanks Stephen!

That's an awesome photograph. My grandfather served in the AAF in the Pacific Theater but he couldn't hit as well as Joltin' Joe, so he saw a little more action. :D

Jumping in with Dan. Don't want to get left out of the potential Gehrig exhibit type run up on this one. Plus it's just a cool looking card with the white borders and b/w photo..not to mention the cool loaf of bread on the back. Jackie says: "I get a double play in Homogenized Bond. It tastes grand and packs plenty of energy."
Jackie most definitely never said that. lol

Decent card AJ!!! 😆. Seriously though, great pickup. Not sure about the Gehrig Exhibit style run but a '51 Bowman Mantle run in the short term seems fairly reasonable and if not you have the true RC of possibly the most influential athlete of all time. Win, win

Well we all can't have SGC 4's. :-)

Had no idea this card existed until earlier this week. That's why I love reading these boards!

Great looking photo...and a Foxx for my Delong set.....about 1.5 generic letters on the back are missing from paper loss :)....

That's a great shot of Joe D!

R333 by any other name....
 

another Delong for the near complete set...

Not received yet, but certainly the best pick up I've had in a long while.

Finally picked up a Speaker (thanks, Jim) and polished off the '56 Topps set. Good month!

.

the e93 cobb front looked really nice for the grade. back has some issues.

1926-1929 Exhibits Babe Ruth Pose-- When I joined net54 a year ago, I was alerted of one for sale but I snoozed. I have been banging my head against the wall ever since. I have learned: Anything related to "Babe Ruth" you can't think about it too long because it will be gone.

Nice Pickups!
 

Great cards all!

Tony

Nice Ruth Ben! One of Ruths nicest images on a card! That Cobbs not too shabby either!

Nice E121's Neal.

Not bad, but I'm holding out for a PSA 7.

:D LOL :D

Thank you, Glenn!

Congratulations! Those are beauties. Keep working on that wonderful set.

One that had evaded me for a long while
 

A great one to scratch off my list...

What a phenomenal card, Al. According to Old Cardboard's HOF Rookie Cards: "only one copy of the card is known to exist and it remains in uncut sheet form." How many of these have been authenticated & slabbed by the TPGs?

Clearly that is incorrect information. A true Martin Dihigo rookie card graded by SGC exists outside of the uncut sheet:

P.S. Not my card.....

A big one for my set
Attachment 285359

A nice group of additions to my E104 set.

Nadjas
 

Nice ones Ed!!......not sure I've seen that Doyle before...........Jerry

REALLY? I didn't think I could find one you haven't seen before! :D

Dan and AJ- great looking Jackie rookies! Hopefully you don't like them enough to go for the other 12 cards in the set, it's hard enough to find them as it is :D

Geez Ed, very nice. Where did you find those?

DJ

And one for my D359s.

E-bay. There were a lot of them, these were all I could get.

That's a big one Al. Congratulations!!!

And my E94 additions.

Al,

Your collection is mind boggling. Love the Pop Lloyd!

Babe Ruth notebook....
 

Tape or no tape, I am happy to pick up this tough Viox Series 6 card. One other confirmed copy and for nowhere near my max bid on it. This one went for a song IMO.

Congratulations!
 

I love that card. And the guy could hit, too.

Jason, I'm glad you got it. That auction had so many cards, I decided I would focus on the E104 & E94s above. It was really hard not to go after any T210s, so glad to see you with that one.

Mark, Ed thank you both! The auction did have quite the selection of types available. And after a quick glance at BR I agree, Viox was a very good hitter at all levels of pro ball. Hope everyone has a great weekend.

Thanks Rhett for my recent PCL fix.

OK.... there was only one sheet known (and I own it)... BUT there is a single copy of the the Lloyd graded by SGC (none by PSA).... one DiHigo by SGC (none by PSA) and one Foster by SGC (none by PSA)... there are two Marcelles that I know of....

I own the DiHigo, Lloyd and Foster and the sheet. Still on the look out for the Marcelle. I do not believe that the Larry Brown or George Scales have been seen as singles (outside of the sheet).

By the way, I have the sheet listed on eBay now that I have the individual cards. Best, Al

Thanks Kenny...

been a long road...

Finally coming to an end

Thanks! Has been fun and exciting! Have learned a lot and spent a lot, but am nearing the end of my quests!

.

Al,

That Mallorquina sheet is unbelievable. Is Beckett the only company that professionally grades uncut sheets?

Scott

Thanks Scott....

Unsure, but I would imagine so. It is the only company that has a holder that is big enough. I typically prefer SGC, but they did not have a holder and I was nervous that I would damage it if I did not protect it, so I went with Beckett.

Perhaps if there was an uncut sheet of a small issue that would fit in a holder for PSA and / or SGC they may do it, but I am unsure. I can't think of a sheet / issue that would fulfill those parameters, but perhaps someone else does.

Great pickups, everyone! Ed -- it looks like you've had a busy month -- congrats on those in particular.

I'd like to say thank you to Brad for this amazing 1.5 Cobb -- a wonderful transaction all around!

Cheers,
Steve

That Cobb is gorgeous!

Steve, I have been busy, but I was too slow for that Cobb. Very sweet!

Thanks, guys!

Amazing Cobb Steve...and great seeing you last week!

its been awhile since I've had a vintage pickup and wanted to get a Ruth before the end of year. Thank You Brad for this beauty!

Incredible haul Ed!

Thanks, there is more coming.

Dan, I dig the Ruth. I have always liked that one.

Thanks, Barry -- you, too!

Ed, you have *more* coming? Nice!

Happy to get this one, scarce and highest graded....Speaker.

Very nice card. Congrats!

.

Great Speaker, Greg

I've frequently seen a 1930's version of that, but have never been tempted because it wasn't 'career contemporary'. I assume yours is a lot more scarce.



.

Great additions to your Delong set, Leon.

Those are two of my three favorites from the set and the only two I also own...the third is the Gehrig which may as well be a '52 Mantle to me.

Raymond, the other card with same image is a 1934 R.J. Hill or some such, so, yes, much later than this Susini one...

Hey Greg... glad that you got this... seems like you appreciate it... I am "elrey" on eBay, so I am the seller... kindof like a "board" transaction, even though it was through eBay.... I think that you will love this one when you get it in hand! Goes out tomorrow! Al

This Sov. Cobb finishes off HOF backs :):):)

............. "just" 8 "pesky commons" to go ................. ;););)


Fun, fun, Scott :rolleyes:

Very cool, Scott. Good luck!

I had been looking for a clean example of this Ruth...

Congrats Scott! Good luck on the final 8!

Nice Scott, good luck with the eight commons.

Listed as unconfirmed but there are two other recorded sales.
