Wanted to wait until it actually arrived to post.

SUPER excited to add this Wahoo Sam Rarity to my Crawford Collection.

Looks better in person too - than this scan!

Congrats
Very Cool Colgan Chip

Picked up #36 thanks to another great board member that very kindly reached out.

That's a great looking mello-mint! Congrats!

Nice pickup and congrats on being able to place a bid in the Hake's auction.

Thank you, Daniel.

A couple Hake's wins.

The Dukes
 

Picked up the George Davis in Clean Sweep to complete the four baseball Dukes N142. Not the largest grouping but they were so attractively designed!

If anyone ever sees the three bicyclist Dukes up for sale, the set collector in me is interested.

Like picking up this card under SUSPICIOUS! circumstances on eBay.

Thrilled to add these E107's and very tough Yankee HOF RC! Thanks Brian

Ah, flea markets.

A few new additions this week. Really pleased to find these.

This card has been on my radar for years, but I had never actually seen one come up for sale. Paid a premium, but thrilled to finally have this one in the collection.

T209 type card.

I find this interesting because I have always heard that Aaron hated the nickname Hank and here he has a perfect opportunity to sign Henry since that's what the card says. Maybe he just knew that collectors would always want him to sign Hank.

Doc Crandall has arrived
 

This arrived today from the auction house……take the mound Doc Crandall !

Nice pickup!

I love the Cracker Jack Fred Clarke card and have both the '14 and '15. But I take exception to the folks at CJ who did his bio. The final line states, "Joined Pittsburg in 1900." Joined Pittsburg in 1900! That's all. Nothing about being a player/manager, the WS and looking after players like Wagner, Leach, Gibson and crew. The CJ card was issued in 1914 when Clark's storied career had finished and he was still a big name.
Great card but a lousy write-up.

Overprints
 

A couple rare overeprints

Another two bite the dust. Now down to 98 on the list.
 

Thanks to Michael for the Doc Adkins and to Eric for Lefty.

And as always, thanks to everyone on the board for keeping an eye out for Howe’s cards and letting me know when you find one. Never imagined I’d be less than 100 cards away from a complete set. Thank you.

Thank you, Ed.

Upgrade.

Very strong month Wow

And with Goldin ending tonight

Looking forward to more great cards

Skinned sminned. Happy to pick up a Bierbauer for here in Pittsburgh.

I picked these up. I was wondering about the Indoor baseball. It's supposedly from 1914. It has a spongy feel to it. The pin came with it. Any information about it would certainly be appreciated, especially value. Thanks in advance!!

I was not looking to buy anything last night on Goldin but got caught up in 2 Ticket stubs(yes me)
I figured (for some odd reason) since I have a few Ruth Cards let me match them up with a stub of the same year

Should I continue with the stubs or consider these a 1 off?

So I picked up a
1915 Boston Red Sox complimentary full Ticket for Fenway in Babe Ruth Rookie Season
And
1916 WS Tocket stub for games 1, 2, and 5

Picked this up on Thursday. Wanted an item to show off my ticket collection.

Added this week to my W514 set effort. Rough vertical crease but first Roush I’ve seen pop up for auction since I’ve been watching.
Pleased.

Murray Henderson love his sports artwork!!

Thanks, Jeff!

Great Ruth WS ticket Jeff, I did a lot of research on it...

SCD article

Thanks Jeff and very cool research makes the ticket even more interesting to me.

Happy to win this authentic. Also, posting three variations of the overall set which I do not own.

Cool piece Brian, never seen that one before!

Have been looking for the right example of this card for a long time and thrilled to have landed this big bordered boy! Leaves me with one more back to complete my Master Gandil run.

I had to ask on here a few years back for the identification of the two cut-outs I have in my collection, and of course Net54 pulled through. Brian's Daubert is much nicer than my two cards, that's for sure.

Picked these up from REA today...my 3rd Menagerie back.

Awesome pickups, DJ!

Nice pickups DJ, congrats.

Love the menagerie error backs!

Thanks Scott, I still owe you a response. I will try to do so either tonight or tomorrow.

Nice Menagerie DJ, congrats.

Nice, DJ! Happy you got it!

I had some stiff competition for E98s at REA but wound up getting 3 I needed, and one slight upgrade.

Thank you. I've had an individual one before, but never the set in whatever the composite would be of it.

Yellow day :)

First pickup of the year: S74-2 Gabby Street
 

Finally won something in the recent Sterling Auctions, a nice Gabby Street S74 silk.

Patrick

Lummis Peanut Butter
 

Picked this up a couple weeks ago, simply because it was an issue that eluded me for so long. Definitely put a smile on my face as I opened it up.

Nice pickup’s Josh, love that Lajoie Brown Hindu, congrats

Thanks Chuck! Was happy to snag this one.

............... A "few nice ones" from Sterling ............... :)

Fun, fun, Scott :rolleyes:

some matchbooks
 

The more I research these little buggers, the more I'm getting hooked. Fortunate to come into a significant number of these Diamond Baseball and Football matchbooks. color parallels in the 1930's... who would have imagined :)

I love looking at old team photos and counting how many of the players' autographs I've owned. In this case, 100%! Sweet. That doesn't often happen with 100+ year old team photos. I usually get close to that, but there's routinely a couple of sticks in the spokes.

Fantastic pick up Jeff, congrats.

Great pick up Jeff

That is a great piece and the eye appeal is really good

Thank you fellas!

Awesome Ruth Jeff, congratulations

Here are a few off backs. I have a few more to post once I take pics, too busy with the NYC sewer rats.

Congrats Jonathan - very nice pickup! The 1949 Sealtest sticker cards featuring the same 12 players are tough, but the Lummis Peanut Butter cards are very scarce.

Sometimes you take what you can get :). Thanks Rick C....

That a great looking Jim Thorpe rookie baseball card with multiple HOFers is available for under $800 is incredible. The things you learn -- and buy -- on Net54...

Finally picked up my first Cracker Jack. Excited to that it’s of Stuffy McInnis. One of the players I’ve slowly been collecting.

Grabbed a fun front back combo Joe Kelley EPDG. I have his American Beauty in the backs line, so figured EPDG would do nicely for the HOFer set.

This Tinker Off Old Mill and I just keep crossing paths. I have owned this exact card at least five times (very distinctive smudge on back). I’ve bought it sold it and worked it into trades over the years. I think I traded it to Jay as part of the Hooker Brown OMSL earlier this year or it might have been part of the trade that helped me get my BL460 back. I kind of consider it to be a good luck card at this point, so grabbed it on auction again last week! I’m looking forward to trading/selling it again!

Enjoy,
Bob

You know you've been in the hobby a long time when certain pieces keep coming back to you like a stray cat that you keep trying to set free. "OK, you've proven your point. I guess this is your home now."

Thanks Val Having attended the Philly Show since 1975 I heard about Lummis cards for at least 20 years before I saw one. Of the less than 50 known examples this one is one of 5 or so that grades vg. And yes I turned over hundreds of sealtest looking for a Lummis. Bought back alot of great memories when I got this in my hands.
J

Great cards Bob! I was watching both of them. Love that Kelley. Thought the Tinker was a great price.

Picked up this nicely centered Chance Red…

I won this graded, blank-back WaJo card in last week's REA to go with these raw bio and ad backs that I have long had. I'm still looking for a blank back card of Sam Rice to go with his bio and ad backs.

I also won this inexpensive card in REA for the Sam Rice master collection I'm striving to achieve. I didn't have this particular 4-on-1 Exhibit color variation. Nowdays, I'm thrilled to come across any Rice card that I don't have, because this happens so infrequently.

VAL
A new Wajo and a Sam Rice in the same Month!!
Sometimes when it rains it pours.. congrats and thanks for sharing.

Very Nice Val.

Jonathan and Phil, thanks for your kind words. Picking up a WaJo and a Sam Rice that I need at the same time without spending "an arm and a leg" makes me quite happy!

Gorgeous Rice postcard Val.
RayB

Beautiful card, Val. What were the coupons redeemed for? Not sure I've seen that before.

Congrats Val. Are those Chantilly pickups?

Great MINO Leon

Back from PSA - a little confused with the Matty

Did you receive a grader’s note on the Matty?

Val, the Sam Rice ad back that I sold you is essentially a blank back. So maybe it can serve dual purposes for you.
