Val- These are not mine, but here are the images of the cards that you're missing.

Jeremy, many thanks for going to the effort to show me pics of the two E222 cards I need to complete this set. I must confess that my comment about wanting to see pics of these 2 cards was dishonest, for which I apologize. My hope was that someone who had one of these 2 cards would contact me, and I could tempt this person into parting with it. I previously saw pics of the Revelle and Ryan cards in this fantastic 2010 Old Cardboard Magazine article written by Tim Cathey, who discovered the origin of th A.W.H. Caramels cards:

Had to give up 2 nice cards for this one. But sometimes, it takes good to get good.

[JJ McGraw]

That’s a beautiful honest card Leon…..love the writing on the back!

[JJ McGraw]

Another card to add to the Hank Gowdy sub set. Love the card…..BUT ……absolutely HATE the holder. I managed to right him somewhat as he was quite askew upon arrival. Shame on you PSA for ever offering these holders that don’t fit the cards. I’ve got SGC holders that beautifully fit this type of card. Oh well, there old Hank will stay. BTW …..always love the writing on a card, person had good clear hand.

Nice E120 Gowdy...it looks like the precision scribbler used a straight edge to create those 'N' letters.

And a beat up strip but it's a hundred years old. We won't look this good at 100!

This Mays I just picked up will go with the Meusel I already picked up from the same seller.

Picked up in heritage.

Big one for me this week, only 4 more to go to complete the first 49 in the Leaf set. Glad they didn’t get glue on “The Kid” moniker.

My first Peckinpaugh and first Maple Crispette. Acquired from Burl's Sports at the October 2025 Nashville "Nash-ional" card show.

Two more beautiful, colorful Leafs arrived today…..I just need to find the Babe and Jackie in the first 49 …..and hopefully ones I can afford.

I'm slowly building my pre-war collection. 4 more additions this month:

• D359 Rochester Baking Oldring
• Piedmont Art stamp (my first one)
• a pair of 1932 Rogers Peet cards.

Lemme throw this one in just ahead of the month’s end.



Front is pretty clean apart from soft corners. Back shows some staining that I imagine came from glue.



Not looking to sell but would be happy to hear what you think the card might be worth. I guess the main question is how far down the staining would knock it.

With today's harsh grading, I'd say it would grade a PSA 1. VCP for a 1 is $2,940. It's a nice-looking card. Conrgrats on the pickup.

Last delivery of the month…

[CobbSpikedMe]

A couple T205 Minor Leaguers for my low-grade raw subset.

Saturday’s Mail…..

I have officially finished the first 49 in the 1949 Leaf set,EXCEPT for the Babe and Jackie with the delivery of these last two cards. It took about a month of pretty intense hunting and persistent deal making . I have collected 7 of the short prints as the opportunity was there at the time, but I want to focus on getting Jackie and the Babe. I suspect it won’t be quite as fast as the other 47 in the set I’ve collected( with a few variation cards in addition to the 47).

The ‘58 Spahn and the ‘15 Mitchell are absolutely gorgeous, my photos cannot capture the depth, color and clarity. The green on the Spahn background is amazing.

February 1914 snow, baseball and ice cream. Wow!
