REA Wins last night
 

A huge leap for my E91-A Cubs collection. Now what to do with the rest

Won three cards total. One of my very favorite aspects of the hobby is when I discover a card that is NOT the color it should be.... so here's a "blue" e97 I won...

Should Look like this though...

Also won a nice SK Ruth...

Attachment 553993

And a T210 with some sort of a weird "haze" to it that I've seen on this issue before....

Attachment 553992

I grabbed the PSA 1 T-206 Cy Young Glove Shows

Completes my T-206 Cleveland team set. My goal was to keep the cost below four figures. With tax I succeeded by $4.90. If I allocate my postage charge evenly among my four wins I went over by 10 cents.

Just a bit more expensive than my Cy Young Portrait acquired in a Frank Nagy auction about 35-40 years......

With Young, Lajoie, Flick and Joss completing the team set was a bit of a challenge.

Got these

Congrats on the great pickups guys! Was targeting a couple T210s, but the card budget wasn’t up for it this go around. Excited to see what other gems you guys scooped up

I was interested in about half a dozen other T210s, but I ended up adding only one (Blue, Waco).

There was a Cobb b18 and a couple of t200s I was interested in, but fell asleep at 8:30 and didn't wake up during extended bidding. Maybe next time!

Love seeing everyone's wins!

Nice cards, all. Here are 2 from yesterday. Bridwell goes well with my T205 Bridwell back run, only missing P42, and there is conflicting information on whether one exists. From what I see on the PSA pop, this is the only one signed and graded by psa. Have not checked the other pop charts.

Also a Lionel Carter T202. His cards always look near mint, mint.

Not something I was after, but rare enough to bid on.

Pd 42
 

Don't believe the PD 42 exists. I remember having that discussion when I was finishing the PD 42 back run.

1959 Bazooka
 

Sort of off topic, but here's my REA win. An old friend of mine & I will open these packs like we did when we were eight years old. Total loss of money without any regrets.

Was targeting the McIntyre and Wilhelm EPDGs, but prices forced me to choose one...

What year are those?

Will you chew the gum?

!979 Topps.

No.

Jeremy a 1979FB PSA 10 common with a POP of 3 sold for $902 in December on eBay. You might hit a goldmine there. I would have to wear gloves, but I could rip like crazy on say 88 Donruss baseball. Good Luck with it. Neat item. 78 FB was a big year for me as a kid. About 10 years ago I picked up 2 78FB vending boxes, but the cards looked like 6-7-8 range.

I did a little post-war bargain hunting and picked up the Yellow Basepath pin of Robin Roberts and the 1974 Topps puzzle of Jim Palmer.

picked up the E101 ty cobb
now have 12 of them, going for 20:)

the 52 mays auto was a pretty good deal. not many available. good price!

I'm wondering if it's going to smell the same. I haven't bought a pack for ten years.

Jeremy, this is awesome. Hope you guys have a blast and pull some beauties out of there!

The Bridwell Piedmont 42 was not confirmed on the original T205 Resource checklist, but Joshua L. (a member on here) confirmed it to exist on a subsequent update of that checklist. If it does exist, there certainly are not many of them.

I tried 1984 Topps gum about 5 years ago. It disintegrated into powder in my mouth. It was almost impossible to get the little pieces out.

I grabbed the blank backed Bender to complete a mini E104-I Bender run. Attachment 554081
Attachment 554082

Yes, Josh said he used to have one, but doesn't have a pic, and the other experts say it does not, and or should not exist. It's fun to think the hunt is still on, it's how I found the signed one.

I finished 2nd place in my tobacco bids, but did manage to win a gorgeous
1963/64 Topps Hockey Bobby Hull and a 1953 Topps Chuck Dressen. Congrats
to all! Trent King

Nice pick up Ian, congrats in finishing the run.

Some nice wins for the forum members

Congrats

IMO you can't put a price on childhood nostalgia. :)

Nothing pre-war for me this time. Just a couple nice cello's.

won the Starr T206 psa, my consigned lots did very well.

I added a couple of Dockmans and, on a whim, picked up some 1952 Berk Ross for less than the grading costs.

Nice E104-1 blank back of Bender, but a word of advice to those out there...graded card holders are not to be used as a scouring device when cleaning pots and pans.

Brian, I use my slabs to scrape ice off my car windshield. Is this not a good thing to do? :D

I guess this would be acceptable when you do not have a credit card to do the job.
