March 2018 Pickups...

[Rhotchkiss]

Thanks everyone. I am beyond excited. I have been after one of these for about a year now; I have been the underbidder on almost every Plank at auction since middle-2017 (always the bridesmaid...), and have been unsuccessful in a few private deals. But everything works out for the best, because, in my opinion, this Plank is a remarkable specimen and was worth the wait. Attached is a picture of the back. The stain up top is from a sticky hinge that used to hold the card to an album. IMO it does not detract from the back, and, really we are buying the Plank for the front/picture, right? I also like it because I know its history - it was owned by Brian Goldner for the past 28 years (JujuDrum on this forum) and Barry Halper before that. God willing, this card will not see another owner for many decades.

As an aside, I love that I can share this here -- my wife and friends either think I have a screw loose or they dont care....

This is my second post to a pickup thread.

Back-to-back months for me. This is my 2nd Detroit Tigers Pinkerton. Thanks to a fellow Net54 member for this great addition.

From the recent auctions. Upgrades on the Leever and Miller, the downgrades will be in the BST soon if interested.

Kind of all over the place, but I'm happy with these.

That’s what we are here for! And that’s got to be one of the nicest Planks going. Really well done!

[Jason Carota]

Outstanding Plank! Congrats!!!

Kinda hard to compete with Mr. Plank and others but here is a nice looking card for the set.

Actually picked this up about ten years ago, but thanks to Joe G. I just found out it is a Gypsy Queen card and not an Old Judge, so it's like I just got this card in the mail today. Thus technically this post is not misplaced.

Added another plate scratch that I didn't have.
