February Pick Up Thread

[UKCardGuy]

Nothing major but I'm starting to build up my pre-war collection.

I'm enjoying the different ad backs in the M101-4 series. Is there a guide to the relative rarity of the different backs (e.g. Sporting News vs Weil vs Globe?

Here is a link to the Old Cardboard website that has a chart Net54 members Tim and Todd created about the scarcity and relative availabilty of the M101-4 and M101-5 backs.

Fun, fun, Scott

I was able to upgrade a couple backs in the T206 HOF set. I should probably finish the set before doing upgrades, but that’s no fun!

Enjoy the weekend,

Wow, Jeff, crazy huge pickup. Definitely one of the top 10 Ruth cards. Congrats!

Amazing Ruth, Jeff!

Great Ruth card. If you haven't received it yet, make sure not to throw it out when it arrives. If I remember the hobby lore correctly, many years ago Barry Halper accidentally tossed out a Ruth Butter Cream that he won.

Well that is one way to keep the population count down.

And I will keep it in mind to avoid the same outcome

That was a great article by Todd and Tim. However, it needs an update to reflect all the Morehouse backs that have popped up recently. Apparently, there is also another large group that may hit the market soon.
