March Pickups

Glad to be back on the scoreboard. Another for my Top 100 display. Let me know if you can tell from the scan why the grade is so low. My eyes aren't great, but I thought the card looked pretty good.

What's the unseen flaw? Card looks about like a 4 to me at the worst...

Now that I have the card in hand, I am so happy with it. No creases...I think the downgrade is all about this very small area of glue residue. Happy to have a card of the NL's last Triple Crown winner and man who shares my birthday.

Awesome. I'll take cards like that all day long. It's funny sometimes how severely they downgrade for something that's hard to notice...and then sometimes how they don't. Nice pickup!

I am up to 6 Diamond Stars HOFers now, including a helluva Big Three from the New York Giants.

Have you seen that thread on the post-war side with footage from the 1934 all star game? Check it out. A little of Medwick is shown. Cool stuff.

Thanks for the tip. And here is the YouTube link to the footage - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ehZvzWhQw3U

Not only does the footage show Ducky hitting it into the seats but it also shows four of Hubbell's five consecutive strikeouts. No sound, but otherwise really fantastic.
