I feel you. My scanner sometimes makes imperceptible by the naked eye stains on my m114 posters look like Jackson Pollock practiced on them.

T205 Cobb arrived a couple days ago…

A tough one arrived today in the Warren Spahn PC. You don’t see these for sale often….1950 Drakes. A little paper loss on the framing, but I’ll take it!

I got this one a while back, but got logged out for a while and then our picture issues, so never got around to posting. Pretty happy to land a tough Merkle.

If the person that bought the T215 lot from Leighton is a board member here, I’d love to get that Merkle Red Cross if that a duplicate for your set.

E300 Plows Fred Merkle

Enjoy,

That Merkle is a ball card!

Thanks Jim! I try to find something I really love when it’s not a T206.

Love getting Merkle on my oddball cards!

I finally got around to sharing the video of my favorite pickup of 2025.

It is a Vintage 19th Century and 20th Century Tobacco Card collection that includes both Non-Sports and some Sports cards including a pretty well hidden gem...a T230 Duke Kahanamoku card that I had been looking for for quite some time.

The collection appears to have been put together in some time between the 1950-1970's by the long ago original collector.

Warning: it is a long video as there are 400+ cards in the album but is a fun watch if you have some time.
