December New Pick Ups...

[Vintagecatcher]

I have been chasing this card for 30+ years, and finally found one with perfect registration and no creases. The card looks better in hand than the larger scan!

The images in the "A" set actually show the player identified on the card, whereas, the "B" and "C" sets repeat the poses from the "A" set and do not show the actual player.

Cool pickup Leon!

Congrats Patrick on the wait (amazing) and the find

Great looking card

[Vintagecatcher]

Thanks Jeff!

Going to be weird not needing to search for this card.

Nice card. If you don't like feeling weird, you can sell it to me and start the search all over again!! After all, they say the hunt is more fun than the catch.

Congrats Patrick. Nice accomplishment. And I had the same idea as Todd, just sell it and then you can search for another for 30 more years!
Added this to my site., I have had it for a good while..

Nice haul! Love the Murtaugh. One of my good friends is Murtaugh's grandson and there are a few of them right now working on some project to push for his induction into the HOF on the Golden Days Committee. Has Murtaugh's last game worn jersey framed and hanging on his living room wall.

[BabyRuth]

Thanks, Bill. I bet that jersey looks awesome!

Congrats on the upgrades! The Collins was part of a complete set of 1914 Cracker Jacks that my father-in-law and I put together in 2008. I was the hustle man, tracking down the cards, and he was the bank behind it. In a somewhat contested move, he pushed it quickly to auction and sold it for $88k. I shudder to think what that, and the sister 1915 set that we put together at the same time, would be worth now but it was a helluva lot of fun to put those together. Enjoy the hunt!

Leon - very interesting Cracker Jack piece!

I may have shown this off here before. Found it a few months ago. It’s an embossed side panel to a Cracker Jack shipping carton, 1912 to 1922 era.

Nice card Patrick...cards in the E91A set seems to be a little more difficult to come by in nice condition such as yours (compared to E91B and E91C).

By the way, almost 1/2 of the E91B have the same artwork AND player designation, and thus also depict the facial likeness of the player.

No need to wait 30 years on getting the E91B of Bresnahan though...he didn't carry over to the E91B set.

Busy month.

Nice Cabanas Leon, congrats.

Tip of the cap, Patrick.
I felt so lucky when I found mine, a couple of years ago.
Cool thing for me is; I try to stay "old school" as much as I can; an RC is a first appearance in circulated product; excludes, supplements, post cards, game cards and the like.
I strongly believe that the 1908 E91A Bresnahan is his true RC.

Thanks for the tip of the hat Ben!

Added a cool handpainted 855 FDC to my 1939 First Day Covers collection.
