Re: October Pickups
was wondering when you were going to post that, Ben.
Glad he is going to a good home. You have a great Bender collection!

'Cause I'm jealous, jealous again
Thought it time I let you in
Yeah, I'm jealous, jealous again
Got no time, baby
Beautiful Bender Ben! Thanks for that brief sunshine on a rainy October day.

Black Crowes, very cool!
thanks for all the kind words guys, it was a long time coming, but I'm pretty pumped about adding a card like this to my player set. Again, I can't thank quan enough for all his help in getting it done.
Re: October Pickups
you'll eventually need a nice bender signature to round out the collection ben

Re: October Pickups
Nice addition Ben. As someone else said, you need to add a signature to collection.

Great Jake Stahl Blair. I have the T206 of this depiction (Thanks Tony!), but the full pose with him holding the bat is so much cooler. That and a high grade example to boot. Nicely done.

Re: October Pickups
wow, gorgeous T3. I'm not usually one to care about grade but T3's look so much nicer in high grade.

Re: October Pickups
Going in a new direction to acquire more Jimmy Claxton memorabilia. Picked up three Everett Daily newspapers (complete) from 6/18, 9/3, & 9/7 1925. Claxton, supposedly, won 20 games in 20 starts for the nearby town team of Edmonds in 1925. Can't confirm that. There is only one box score with his name in it from 6/18 (a 4-1 victory w/12 k's; 3-4 with a stolen base). The other two only list scheduled Labor Day events including "Baseball game at Sievers Park between Edmonds and Mukilteo".

Thanks, Jamie (and thanks to all for the nice comments)!
I tried to compile a checklist of all the pre-war Red Sox cards out there (a nearly impossible task in itself). From there, I've worked to fill it in with cards that met my standards for grade. For rare/scarce stuff, I have had to compromise some. I'm really happy with the progress I've made - I stepped up my collecting activity from 2008-present. But there are still huge notable gaps...no E107...only one W600...no Ruth RC (doh!!!), etc. I have not tallied it up, but likely have right now 200+ pre-war Red Sox cards.
