June 2015 Pick-Ups

Only two more Southern Leaguers needed (Fritz and Shag), and only a dozen overall to complete the 521. Yes, I'm gonna do 521 instead of 520. I've decided to go after the Magee error card. That's the only one of the Big Four I'm gonna tackle, though. Planks are just too pricy, and obviously the Honus is out of the reach of 99% of us. And honestly I don't know if I've ever even seen a Doyle variation for auction. I've only seen that card in pictures. Don't think I've ever seen an actual Cobb/Cobb back for auction, either. Any of you?

keep trucking along good sir, you are carrying torch of fading embers for us collectors around here. one of my regrets in the hobby was never owning a t206 plank, my favorite card...the best chance was when julie had hers up for sale many years ago for around 10k(?). i still think about it every so often.

Thanks, cccc. I appreciate it. This set has been a heck of a lot of fun. I'm almost sorry to see it winding down, but the remaining cards won't be easy to get, so there's definitely a ways to go. I'd love to have the Plank, too, but I'm just not in that income bracket. The Magee is gonna be tough enough.

I believe there was a Cobb/Cobb in the last REA auction. Rob also had a Doyle for auction a few years ago.

Rounding out the month with a toughie. I'm glad to score one with a PB back.
