A tough Ruth for my W553 set along with a few others for my sets.
I really like the rare 48 Leaf Overmire with the missing black printing process.

Ben, I love that A's PC -- that is one of the all-time best teams, ever.

Here is my first two February pick us -- I had been watching this Cobb for years and the BIN price suddenly seemed appropriate. I missed out on the BlueBird Ruth in Sterling last night, but I was able to secure another one nonetheless

Oh my.
We might as well lock the thread.
Not going to top that Cobb without pulling a muscle. :cool:

Beautiful Cobb!

Spectacular Cobb!! Congrats. If I have to be the one to follow that, at least it's with my one of my holy grail cards. Just got it today and I can't stop smiling. :)

Congrats Chad, happy a member got that one. You got a good value imo.

Thanks Phil, I really appreciate it. I thought it was a good value too. I was a bit surprised but absolutely thrilled to be the high bidder. It's the crown jewel of my collection, by a long shot.

Thanks guys. Chad, that card is a beast, congrats!

Love T216s

Beautiful T216's: and the phrase on the back "Never Go Out" has become my motto.

First Ruth in over 30 years. So excited he arrived with his friends today.

Good one!

Great T216s Leon- I too love those cards.

A few more pickups; The T206s are from friends and the team signed, 1938 Minnesota Miners (Ted Williams pre-rookie) was from Clean Sweep (have they sent invoices yet?)

I want your friends....wowza Ryan! Nice Speaker, not bad Cobb ;)

Picked up another California Brown. Still need pose 1 and PL pose 4.

A big Cobb combo! Ryan, stellar as always!

Great WaJo Exhibits... love the poses.

Happy to add these little gems to my fledgling west coast "type" collection.
.

Wow, you rarely see T217s in that high grade. Nice pull!

Awesome Mono Phil. Great condition for that set.

Thanks guys. Andy I'll email you on those 98's today.

Beautiful Cobb Jay.

These are the saddest of possible words ....... "I need a Hindu Chance" ..... :)

Fun, fun, Scott :rolleyes:

Amazing Cobb, Jay. Congrats.
Phil, that is a great looking T217
Scott, you cannot go wrong with Hodi-backed portraits of T206's best HOFers. Now you just need the Red Chance Hindu back and you have a poem

I've always liked this image, the colors and background texture are mesmerizing, been on my checklist for a while. Standard Dockman back, I think Leon has most/all of the other backs to this image.
This would be one of those cards where the recent thread "how much would you pay for centering" is applicable.

That is one beautiful card. Congrats!

Thanks Chad, my centering OCD is an expensive endeavor.

Fresh start on the Monster.

Thank you Luke! This one's on the way!

Another West Coast addition.

Finally found a N172 Rehse at a price that was reasonable to go with my cabinet, now only 5 more poses to go. Thanks to Chris (Iconsportscards) for the Mathewson.

Congrats on the pick up Craig.

Up until last week, the 1935 Goudey 4 in 1 was the only Ruth I had. Excited to add one more Ruth to my collection!

Went on a mini Hornsby run. Member pick up on the 21 Exhibits, thank you Luke.

Nice group Phil. I have always liked the '21 Exhibits pose.

I think I got these both last month, but IMO they aren’t official until scanned, so they count for February!

I guess I went on a little Hugh Duffy run...not as cool as Hornsby, but fun for me nonetheless:

Thanks Dean, the 21 is my favorite Hornsby image. Derek that OJ is a really cool card, I like the way he's giving the viewer a little side eye.

Nice Hornsby’s and Duffy’s! Hard to find Hornsby and Wilson as Cubs, the 4-1 is great, and love the Duffy Cabinet!

Great cards so far guys and girls!

Thanks for this one, Jay!

(always looking for big top-bordered T206 HOF'ers I don't have :))

Picked up another N172 Nash, Hands on Knees for the different font!

Coupon's
 

Thanks to Rob for these.

Thanks to Luke for this EPDG add!

This post needs more Duffy!

I don't get to post over here very often, and this is baseball adjacent, but I just picked up a 1911 T25 of De wolf Hopper, the actor that made Casey at the Bat famous. I also picked up a period correct tin that it would have come in, complete with 1910 tax stamp. This is all going towards a Casey at the Bat display in the memorabilia room.

That's a beautiful Bender!! Looks nicer than a 5.5!

First t206 HOF
 

My first t206 HOFer arrived today.

Nice pick up Patrick,
Is that a back stamp on the bottom?

Looks that way. I just held it up in the sun and it looks like it says clyde. That's a nice catch because I hadn't noticed it until you pointed it out.

A little West Coast "Type" addition.

Thank you eric (tripp trapp!!)

Oh baby, nice one!

Picked these up a few days ago.

Nice Josh! You got it. Awesome.

Nice group of Recruits Robert, congrats on the pick up.

Having a great month with Cobb. Half the credit goes to Jay and the other half to Henry. Thanks!

You just barely beat me on that Sporting News :). Nice pickup

Wow Chad, great haul!

Ben, I Love the 1906 Cubs PC

Thanks Ryan. I am pretty excited.

One of the last cards of my Kashin run and one of my favorite Mel Ott images. Member pick up, thank you Derek.
-

Picked up my first T202 Cobb. Card has some creases but at least the Cobb end panel is clean.

A nice little Cracker Jack addition. Registration on the card is superior to the registration on the label.
-

Have to show off some tough Cub Alexander's I got this month!

Red Murray

This came today. I really like the W574s.

Happy to snag the signed Big Cat rookie at Wheatland. Now just need to straighten it out inside its holder.

Adding some more Hornsby to this thread. Had been hunting for one of these for a bit.

Phil, isn't that Mel's rookie card?

That's arguable, I think it is as it was his 1st widely available image, the hobby in general considers the Goudeys his rookie card since that qualifies as a "card" more than the thinner stock Kashin. Technically his true rookie card would be the Goblin Merrymint O.H. Melville card but I think there's only one of those.

Either way, the Kashin is one of his better playing day images in my opinion.

Nice Hornsby Adam, that one is surprisingly hard to find, and is my favorite image behind his 21 exhibits.

Thanks Phil. I was really happy to see one pop up.

3rd 1916 Joe Jackson Advertising Back
 

This is my 3rd 1916 Jackson Advertising Back

This is one of the tougher ones to locate and very unique

Trying to do a Run on the Backs of these Cards.

I want to thank Matt E. transacting with me on this.

Always looking for others

Wowzers!

Picked up this 1927 Jimmie Foxx

Thanks Robbie!
 

I want to thank Robbie for a flawless transaction as I added this amazing Foxx to my HOF collection! I blew right by my intended budget but how could I say no to this one??

Also, I added "grass" to my card cave so I thought I'd add a few additional images to give a virtual tour of my ever-changing card cave. Dang - still have NOT mastered keeping photos right side up!

(You might also see that I have given a special honor to the 2 cards that "started it all" for me in 1974 as an 8 year old Red Sox fan... good old Juan Beniquez and Rick Miller)

thanks again, Robbie!
