Thanks, Tony!

I have a few more items I picked up in SGC holders that I haven't scanned yet...should get to that later today .

Whoa Blair! Damn! Not only did you pick up an awesome w600, but two of my favorite players/managers to collect in rare form (Jennings & Collins).

After those posts, it's anticlimactic to talk of the SGC 5 Zach Wheat w514 I added to the registry below from somerset velvet, thank you Mr. Buckler.

Love that w600!!

I believe Blair met Santa in Chicago. Nice pickups.

I have picked up some odds and ends:

E96 Gibson:



N29 Ewing, thought this would be a long time coming , nie to find an inexpensive one:



Lee

Thanks to all for the nice comments!

Here are the ones I scanned tonight, starting with a group of Collins-McCarthy Red Sox:

A unique 1921 Herpolsheimers Vitt:

Couple 1934 Diamond Matchbooks of Rick Ferrell:

Globe Stores Walker:

Met Brian at the Nat. and picked up this lot I got from the last Sterling Auction:

Holy crap, Blair! Amazing pickups!

Finally found this guy...it may not say Cravath, but it sure looks like him!

While the globe is heating up...T3's are ice cold! My first ever "real" t3!!!!!

That red one really pops! Good luck on the orange.

Thanks Blair...awesome pickups by the way! The orange is supposed to be the easiest! We'll see about that!

I don't really focus on collecting autographs, but it caught my attention that Lelands was auctioning on eBay some autographs collected by a now deceased sports writer. It appears one focus of his was getting autos of players on the 1915 Red Sox team. So I placed winning bids on 6 of those.

But the non-Red Sox one that I liked best was a Sam Crawford autographed postcard. The strong auto was personalized to Thomas C. Eakin of Ohio, who went on to become the founder and President of the Ohio Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum. So I am happy to have gotten that one too:

I like this one of Ray Collins, as he gives his short career summary and record. Interestingly, he credits himself with 2 more wins than he actually had:

Nice pickups Jeff. I hadn't seen the Trap Shotting cards until recently and have really got to like them.

Couple recent pickups...

Nice picture on the Wright.

outstanding!

Wow, nice pick up on the Harry. It's hard to find that card with good contrast. Where'd you get it?

I don't want to step on anyone's toes, but I saw that Wright card on Ebay. Great pick-up Chris, wish I had the cash at the time.
