January Pickups

[Vintagecatcher]

Thrilled to have picked up this nice Cliff Blankenship 1910 Obak via Sterling Sports Auctions from the Paul Pollard Collection.

I have always liked this card but hadn't picked it up until I could confirm that he actually was a catcher in addition to one of the managers for Tacoma.

Thanks to feedback from several board members that confirmed via newspaper accounts that Cliff did in fact catch for the Tacoma team in 1909-1910.

Thanks to those members as well as Lee at Sterling Sports Auctions!

Worked a lot of overtime financing Christmas for the family. Had a little left over and decided to try to get something for myself outside my normal budget. Went after a R311 featuring DiMaggio but got outbid. Decided to settle for this Jimmy Foxx ending a few minutes later. Lots of staining and writing on the back but fits in nicely with my other low condition pre-war premiums.

Pretty solid month so far I have some more stuff still coming next week but I got half of my purchases in the last few days 12 more for the set


Also went to a small card show today and found these if anyone can tell me about the patches I'd love to know what they are and how many of them are out there

1914 B18 Blankets, they are neat set, with varying levels of difficulty within (it is a fun challenge to collect them). Also, pretty affordable given their age and the player selection.
