Why so much secrecy here, everyone is quick to post how fast their items arrived, now let's see them.........

Arrived yesterday. Missed this one a couple times as it came up over the years. As a Gehrig guy it gets no better.

Congratulations Chesbro, that is a beautiful card!

I wanted to know who ended up with this beauty! Major congrats on such an awesome card.

I wanted to add to my horde. I actually have two of the amazing Type 2 Gehrigs but in low grade. There just aren't many of those, and as others have commented, yours is terrific!

I would have struggled to get momma to agree to a third and the associated cost of it...I guess she is probably right.

BUT once again, this is a great pickup! Congrats !!

I think it is because some of us are afraid of being teased for paying too much What the heck, here is my newest Matty. Always wanted a Carolina Brights back.

Luke, I've always heard that when it comes to high value cards, "you can never pay too much, you can only pay it too soon." Meaning that you may have overpaid for that card today, but it will increase in value. The good cards like that one always do, and will soon be worth more than you paid for it.

I use that theory to justify my purchases, and even if it doesn't always work, it does always make me feel better.

And that's a great Matty.

Thanks, Sean. Good words to live by!

It is blank, not sure why Matty wrote "over"

I got one pink peanut. Seriously!! Thousands of white peanuts and one pink one. Who does this? I think someone at REA is F-in' with me.

PS: The group of signed baseballs that came with this is awesome.

Been a while since I took something home from REA! Been trying to score a cabinet with Uncle Paul on it for quite some time. I am very pleased with this pick up!

Been waiting for this for a looong time. Honored to have one of Jim B's cards in my collection.

Another monster card Pete!!! What I find most interesting about your pickups this month is that the Violet Murray is more scarce than both of your bigger acquisitions!!
