Most of my best pickups have come at the very start of April.

I met an old man that had a selection of these. I couldn't decide which one so I just picked up all of them. Too far?

Chris showed me the Cobb Proof the other day. It's hands-down the most significant Proof found to date. Just stunning, and hugely important.

Wow...great pickup!

Wow very fast start to the month. No Joke.

Looks like it might be a really strong month.

I already feel like I need to keep up with the Jones

[atx840]

Well it was a fun April fools day, definitely would be a dream card.

Nice, I couldn't figure out how to get a good picture of this. I put it on my computer screen so the light could shine through this amazing acetate Red Cobb that arrived today.

Nice corners, crease free, no print lines, no wax on back. It appears the card sat in an old time photo album with 4 corners protecting the card and it's corners. The result was a uniform light browning along the edges on the back. I’m thinking of sending it to PSA for review, wondering if it would be worth it.

[BioCRN]

I should wait til I get it in hand, but I'm excited about the card and the deal I got. It's nice to own a piece of history.

I'm also waiting on a PSA 9.5 1952 Mantle I recently picked up from another high end vendor off Facebook.

Great community, great people. It's nice to finally join the major players in the hobby.

[3-2-count]

Nice start to the month guys!

Chris, your Cobb proof is stunning!

Huge congrats!!!

[VintageBen]

Upgraded my Felix Mendelsohn Cobb. It’ll be off to SGC for a new slab upon arrival.

Here’s a Ruth PC that you don’t see everyday.

Happy to pick this up last night--PSA has now (harshly) graded 190 of all of the fragile M101-2 and the highest grade it has ever given out for the entire run of all players is a 4, and just two of those. This is one of them, John J. McGraw. And he even went to my alma mater, along with Hughie Jennings. The baseball field is still McGraw-Jennings Field.

I know I have already posted this once, but this is to thank Lamar (tha-rock) for his persistence in correcting through the postal inspector a delivery error on this item. Again, thank you Lamar!

Happy to pick up this one, I've been trying to find a nice Mohler portrait for awhile now.

Phil, great Obak Mohler card. The Pollard collection was something special. Below I have linked an old thread that mentions it, and in the 14th post is one of my favorite photos of a bunch from the Pollard collection in a pile before they were sent off to be graded. Based on the post from the collector who ended up winning this Obak collection at auction, it can be deduced that the Mohler shown in the pile is actually a trimmed one from the 1910 set and not your 1911 example, as the 1910 is shown in its eventual graded state in the 13th post of the same thread by another collector who eventually ended up with it.

Picked up this T200 Cleveland (Shoeless) at REA and now only 2 T200 to go for the complete set.

How is that Cobb a 3 — back damage or generally invisible surface wrinkles? Or other??

Beautiful, agree with above post, looks much better than a 3

[Bartholomew_Bump_Bailey]

Just arrived today.....

[refz]

End of the month pick up and total pc-card. I never owned this card, and perhaps should have picked it up 15-20 years ago when it was somewhat more affordable to me. Nevertheless, an “attainable” grail card down.

[babraham]

Great eye appeal for a 1!
Congrats!

[theshowandme]

My last minute additions.

1916 Altoona Tribune Sam Crawford. Only graded example to exist

1946 and 1953 editions of the American Card Catalog by Jefferson Burdick. We grew up in the same small town.
