former kansas city pitcher mark gubicza is stovall's long lost twin?

good one Quan!!!


Mark

I don't even want to know why Quan still thinks about Mark Gubiza

hehe jay unlike many other prewar collectors, i love and enjoy the modern game...and gubicza is the color analyst for the local angels team here.

Here are my pick-ups:





It was a bit nerve-wracking, but a HUGE night for me at REA. This bottom one I will keep in my underwear drawer so that I can enjoy it everyday

OMG awesome jamie! you picked up more than your hobby share there. GREAT cards imo you win the may--dec pickup threads unless someone shows at least a t206 plank or a big e107 hof'er

p.s. i tried for one of the other 3 delahanty's but fell short

Thank you, Quan! I'm real excited about them. Which of the other Dela's did you go for? Those were nice as well... bummer there. Appreciate all your compliments... cheers.
Jamie

WOW, those are 2 Gems.
An old judge Delehanty & Kotton Wagner in one night, you must be estatic. I would be. Congrats

That Delahanty is an absolute gem Jamie, and ditto for the Wagner. If you don't mind, I'll just live vicariously through your pickups this this time around. Congrats!

Thank you, Guys!

Her's a pick up for less than $20:

I didn't think I would be able to add to my Piedmont Art stamps for less than $50. After much thought Jamie I have decided to offer this card up for trade for the Delehanty.



Lee

Lee,

Ha! Yeah I think I'll pass on offer.

That is a very interesting stamp, though, and at a good price.

Cool Quan didn know you were a So Cal Guy. I am in burbank myself. I really wish the Angels would have kept Rex Hudler ,call me crazy but I liked his energy and enthusiasm for the game

That about says it all - ditto from me...congrats, Jamie!

Sick Wagner. I would've walked over hot coals and shards of broken glass for that card.

And if you would have done that.....Imagine what I would have done for that card.

Awesome pickups Jamie. It will be nearly impossible to out do those grabs. WOW!

ha, nice avatar jamie...i just noticed A+! (kicking myself for not bidding 3k on the n300 dela)

it's all gravy now after jamie's PUs...but here's my crappy photo of a crappy card to hide all the flaws. the t206 speaker is a good representation of prewar collecting for me. and i don't mean the EX or NRMT nice ones either, i like a nice f/g beater to show some historical wear & tear. i've had 8-9 through the years and this is the latest...it's my achilles heel i'm sure it won't be the last.

p.s. yes lentel, i miss the enthusiasm of the wonder dog also.

Man... thanks guys.

REA failed to mention, too, that the Wags is the highest graded. I'm really pleased about that.

I really appreciate all the compliments, and hope to keep the cards for a long, long time (like, the rest of my life)

Thanks Quan!

Might as well show it off, right?

Speaker is a legend, and a Boston guy, too. I really like the aesthetics of that pose.

Yeah, that n300 Dela was a steal, it's tough when you're stuck on the wrong increment.

Jamie

I've kind of had a busy past few weeks. I added an upgrade for my E107 Plank (thanks, Quan), added a beater dupe E107 Flick, and added an E107 McGraw that I am absolutely thrilled to get.

Wow Brian....congrats! You sure have been busy!

Awesome cards by the way.
