recent pick up

[Casey2296]

Great Ruth pick ups Jeff & Jim, congratulations, starting the month strong.

This trimmed beauty completes my T207 set. Although this one came from an auction, many of the final cards I needed were acquired through Net54's B/S/T. Thanks for the help.

Congrats on finishing such a tough set!

As this 1937 Wheaties Series 9 panel of Bonura shows, fielding can be an uphill battle.

I really do like many of the far out designs seen in Series 9.

Congrats on finishing such a substantial set. I'm sure that felt great to cross the last one off the list.

Cheers,
Steve

Just an uncut 36 card 1952 Topps sheet. Not the greatest shape but rare nonetheless.

Very nice Ben. Congrats.

These are from LOTG last night- great auction!!

[MVSNYC]

Ryan, sick!

Got this in LOTG...(great auction, Al!)...

My dad and I used to go up to Cooperstown every year (we actually liked going in the winter, we had the town to ourselves). One of our trips, we bought a low condition Cobb Bat On at Mickey's Place, but it's long gone...So, I'm glad to pick this example up, as it reminds me of my Dad, and those trips.

[mrreality68]

Great Pickup as always Ryan. I was the underbidder on that Wagner. Congrats

Nice eye appeal on the Cobb

Here is my pickup from LOTG

[JimC]

Beautiful cards, guys. Ryan is right, LOTG was loaded again.

Here's mine.

[Wanaselja]

I just knew Ryan was on that Thorpe.
Great Speaker Jim.
This is my haul. I got really luck on the E126. Went to bed around midnight the high bidder. Randomly woke up at 2:44am ET, saw I was outbid and got my winning bid in with 0:30 seconds to go.

Ryan, I'm not a T206 guy but am curious about your thoughts on the 520 set that sold last night.

Phil, I was following the T206 set. I think the final price with BP was quite strong ($72k), especially considering only about 30% of it was graded and none of the key cards graded above a 2 (and most graded less than 2). T

In the small fish pool,
I picked up the battery mate for:
my E98 color run catcher, Johnny Kling.

Maybe a "battery-mate" color run is in my collecting future, lol.
(You know, being a silly die-hard Cub fan and all)

Thank you, Phil.
We little fish gotta eat too, lol.
Ben, lol.

[MattyC]

Babe's signature has always struck me as a thing of beauty. I love it when someone signs with a real definitive and attractive style.

Finding a gem mint example of his signature on a white ball, highest graded— with ironclad provenance... it was more daydream than actual collecting goal. Can't believe it happened. Still hasn't sunk in.

This piece caused some tectonic shifts in my collection, yet as I am sure we have all encountered in our collecting journeys, we have to sometimes gives up great pieces to get one even greater piece.

[JimC]

Love that Brunners Chief!

[pokerplyr80]

Amazing ball Matt. That's the best looking Ruth signature I remember seeing on a ball, or anything else for that matter. Congrats!

[benge610]

My E98 Color Run of Chief Meyers is complete today;
with the arrival of the Orange background!
Thank you, Phil!

I don't think a battery mate run is in my future tho;
unless I snatch a Red Matty before Phil, lol!
Circulated Only!
Mush!

Picked this up from LOTG. I decided I could live with it being a little trimmed because I could never afford one that looked this nice otherwise.

Cobby looks really nice regardless of the grade....congrats!

Every time I see a card of the Rifleman I hear that theme song LOL...

[CobbSpikedMe]

Awesome pick up Leon! Love Chuck's cards.

[Shoeless Moe]

....although with the Yankees as of January 5 1920 (age 24), that's him in his Red Sox uniform.

[DeanH3]

Awesome Heilmann Phil. I was watching that one. Nice pick up.

[Eric72]

This arrived in the mail on Saturday. I've now (finally) pieced together the Tinker-to-Evers-to-Chance T206 combo.

Thanks Dean,
He'll never get his due other than our small tribe here on net54 but he's one of my favorite players and I'm happy to add this to my collection. Now if I can just find a series of 80 Hellmann my life would be complete.

[chadeast]

Thanks all for the kind words. I picked up a few other T3 upgrades as well.
