Great Hornsby! One of my favorites, tough card and really hard to find with decent centering.

Thanks! I've wanted to add a Hornsby to my collection for a while, and I like this image. The centering is really what caught my eye...

Default I know there was a diverse set of opinions on this card
But I sold some stocks because I thought the stock market was overvalued and figured if I had to ride the train down on something, i wanted it to be on something I wanted to buy before I died rather than on some index-linked ETF.

The yellow Ruth is the last expensive card I need in the set my dad got me interested in during the early 1990s.

Special thanks to this board. I would have never seen this auction without someone flagging it.

Congrats! That crease looks much more pronounced in your photo than in the auction scan, but it's a killer card! Very nice indeed! And Andrew, very nice Hornsby. If I had to pick a Hornsby to own, it would be the one you have or his wildly over-priced 1917 E135 Collins McCarthy.

Congrats Scott!!! That is a special card that will always be among the elite cards in our hobby. You can't lay in bed at night and hold and stare at your stocks. Enjoy it.

Ha. When I tell my wife, this may be the only thing in bed to lay with. But seriously, I regretted not buying one a few years back, and I just felt like I was always going to make room to buy this card, so the sooner the better, I suppose. I wasn't that turned off by the rip on the back -- I never look at the back, you know? I mean, if I had $100k, I might think differently....but not at the moment.

Would love to pick up an E135 Hornsby someday, but yeah, big $$$! There is a nice PSA 3 in the current REA auction (already sitting at $6,500).

Thanks for the comment on the Hornsby. They are definitely tough, been looking for a decent Pennock for (literally) years...

I know they're just commons but these are the first pre-war/non-Topps cards I've picked up in a long time. Have been preoccupied with postwar set building.

I enjoy adding clean commons as much as big name players from any set and at a lot less money. Same history and many times a lot more interesting. (and you gotta love the nicknames!)

Those are very nice '41 PB's. I really like the vibrant colors of that set.
