Great pick-up on the D. White card!


How about you, Ken, anything for the HOF collection last night?

Snagged this baby!

Won this for the second or third year in a row.

If someone here won Lot 132 and wants to break it I'd be interested in the Waite.

Wow Ken that is a great pick up! I was watching that one also. Good to see strong bids on this item. Congrats!

[wonkaticket]

Great items all, Brian congrats that lot was really cool. Ken that PC is amazing.

Got some of the cards I was after and added some really neat display pieces. I also grabbed the B-18 blanket so when they turn my heat off this year from spending too much money I can stay warm.

Nice haul John. Congrats on adding a stellar Plank, in particular.

John--Congratulations, that 1888 Giants piece is great. You will want to have it restored to fix the tears and remove the tape, but after that it will look amazing. The contrast is the best I have ever seen. If you want the name of someone who is good working with albumen prints drop me an email at oldjudge@gmail.com

Thanks Leon.

Awesome pickups John! Once you start getting into the display pieces it will be hard to stop The Prang lithograph is a beauty....I have the other Prang piece "A Stolen Base" buts it black/white so can only imagine how sharp the one you just picked up is going to look on display...congrats!!

[cyseymour]

So much to compliment, but gotta start with John and his massive haul... including a Red Hindu Johnson and Pirate card. Nice Plank, too.

Hats off to my fellow OJ collectors... the Deacon White went for less than many expected, and the Mutrie is a cool card!

Congrats Brian on the M116 proofs and gotta say I love the Yankees World Series Pin. Sweet Mantle, Scott - can't beat the provenance. Enjoy.

Great pick ups all. John I'm glad you snagged one of the T215 Pirates. I had my eye on a couple of those, but I just couldn't pull the trigger. My lone p/u's. The Crab and Commy's 1914 CJ......

George, you're right. I'm almost more into the display pieces now than the cards they really are great. It's a slippery slope for sure.

John, congratulations on all this stuff. That Johnson/ Red Hindu was the card that I would have gone for if I didn't absolutely require that Merkle. And also thanks for taking the Lord and not the Merkle.
I will email you shortly.

[AMBST95]

Congratulations to all of those who won.

[Sean]

Oh yeah, I want to add "F@CK YEAH", to quote Tim Lincecum.

I got my card!!!!

I will post scan when it arrives, probably in July.
