Memory Lane Pickups

[yanksfan09]

Wonderful cards everyone!

Congrats on the retirement Paul! I was going after that Lajoie too; glad to see it went to a good home

Thanks Chris, and everyone else. I'm looking forward to continuing to build my collection during retirement, though probably on a smaller scale than these M110s.

Great pickups, everyone. I've been waiting for this auction for a while, and here is the pickup that I was happiest about. I also won a few other strip or lower value cards that I thought were relatively reasonably priced. I kind of wish that they spread these Ruth cards out over multiple auctions since I just ran out of budget or I could have tried for a few others. Great auction, however.

Congrats Gary great card.
This is one I was watching also but with a budget had to prioritize. I am glad you got it and it will look great in your collection.

Congratulations

That was a horrible Saturday night of sleep.

I'm not sure how many of these are out there, but it's not enough for me to wait around for the next one.

All Great Pickups
Congrats Jeff

Should have known you would be after them.

Looks like our Forum picked up a ton of the Ruths

Jeff - Spectacular pickups! Glad to see you landed some world-class Ruth’s. You might never see another Ruth Lections that looks as nice as this one.

If you're newer to the forum do yourself a favor and click on Jeff's Flickr link in his signature. His collection is world class and absolutely insane.

Thanks, Jeff. And more great Ruth pickups from other board members.

No cardboard but since the Babe is making his way into the thread I did win this Ruth / Gehrig ball:

[Rhotchkiss]

Nice pick ups all. Gary, congrats on a very cool card. Jeff, real nice pickups. I was your underbidder on the lections - you outbid me somewhere around 3:30am and I just didnt have the wake-up to keep going. I am glad you won it

Congrats Gary. Great card, my favorite out of all the Ruths in the auction. Then again I am a sucker for die-cuts...

+1. I love scarce pre-War cards with neat advertising backs, and IMHO, the LG back is the neatest!

[glchen]

Thanks, Leon, Ryan, and Aaron!
