February 2010 Pick-Ups

Thanks Ben,
Yep, No creases just honest corner wear a very nice SGC40

Nice Card Todd, great Image of the slugger.

hmm i thought todd has made a nice breakthrough with some sweet color cards but i see he's regressed (nice hooper...i guess ) .

just won this plank.

Nice Plank Quan, Great eye appeal

Quan, i thought that was a good price on the Plank, i almost bid u up

Hey Quan nice grab! I had my eye on that one too. Will it be your placeholder until you get your T206 Plank?

If you decide to part with it someday, please let me know !

thanks guys.

Two more FRONT subjects for my near impossible T216 quest.

T216 Tinker (portrait) PSA 3. This now gives me 10 HOFers from the set.



T216 Doyle (NY Nat'l) w/ MINO back. This now gives me 6 MINO's, but still no HOFer with a MINO back .

The Tinker is a great looking card for that set.

Great pickups, Eric! That set is coming along nicely for you. As for the HOFers in a MINO back... I would imagine that could get a little spendy!

So the Kotton King strikes again. Great pickups! The Mino HOFer will come in time, but as you know, you'll have to be prepared to spend!

Thanks Jay. I agree. My three favorite from this set are the Cobb (standing), this Tinker (portrait), and the Speaker. All of which I own

Thanks Brian. I'm up to 32 different fronts....or now 33% of the way through. A MINO HOFer will set me back a couple grand..... or more depending on HOFer and condition. I had a chance at a Wagner (throwing) with a MINO back, but it was WAY out of my price range right now (I believe the asking was around 12,500).

Thanks Ben. The Kotton King does strike again....after a 2 month hiatus. As always I go through spurts. I'll pick up a few in a month, and then won't see any for a month, or two, or six. Seems like 6 months is the longest I've gone without being able to pick one up, since I got into the set 2 1/2 years ago.

Congrats on 33%! Not a bad little milestone there!

If it is the Wagner (throwing) MINO that I am thinking of (an SGC 50), it looks to still be available with an asking price of $11,500. Sharp card, but quite steep.

And just got this P2 of old Ed Cicotte:

A few more m101s join the fold:

Nice trio of backs there Todd and in my favorite Grade

5 New Cycles:

One more E94 for my set. Building a low grade set. Now up to 14, and almost half way home.

I was waiting for a nice centered example of this card to come up for a fair price - happy with this one:

Another E103 HOFer toward my set...



and a Texas Tommy just for fun...

some people rent a movie for fun, maybe read a magazine... Brian picks up extremely rare and seldom seen type cards

If Zach doesn't already own a TT Moore, you've just entered someone's crosshairs.

Jay

Just got this Frank Chance for my E92 Dockman set:

Ah, the famous Chance butt card.
