Nice W517 Ruth. I really like that pose.

I believe that the original 3 card strips were all horizontal, not vertical, so the other 2 cards that were originally with Ruth would have the same left to right centering.

My collection of catcher real picture postcards continues to grow.

This beauty arrived today.

Well played George.

I love that set!
I’m a huge fan of classic movies and I do collect cards of actors and actresses.
That Carrera set is loaded with Hall of Famers!

I’ve been wanting a Marx Brothers card for a while. The Carreras was the earliest and coolest one I found. I love the oval shape. You are right, the Carrera’s set is great. I almost got a complete album but the guy with the one I wanted didn’t ship to the U.S. The theatre lobby cards from back then are cool looking too. But I don’t know enough about them to get into collecting those.

Down to just 3 left on the baseball subset for N88 Terrors of America!

Couple of arrivals yesterday -- one T206 HOF upgrade, and the final piece to a Leaf run that's been going for about 10 years now. The Rizzuto was sneaky tough to find a nice copy, but glad I waited. Very pleased!

George,

Nice pickup. These aren't recent pickups and aren't for sale, but do come with musical accompaniment.

I don't think I have seen a horizontal w517 strip but have had several vertical ones.
