Picked up an orange border 1934 - there are also blue and red for the complete "rainbow."
Picked up anything new. I enjoy seeing your pickups for this PC.

Two new pickups (Christmas presents to myself)... paid $100 for both from same seller, so I'm counting them as qualifying as $50 and under, although the Neilson's is worth more.
1921 Neilson's Chocolates Type 2
1934 Batter's Up - Gray Tint
Have you come across anything vintage featuring him as a Robin? Because of that 1 year (1926), he is a fantasy want for my autograph collection, meaning I'll likely never obtain one.
I always loved the B-18's and thought it was very cool to find some with the original pieces of "tape" of whatever it was still attached to the back. These blankets are an undercollected portion of baseball memorabilia and diplay incredibly well.
I havnt had the chance to look but figured I would ask....does the Marranville come with color variations?
Been awhile since my last addition to this PC. Finally found something worth adding. 100th anniversary of this unique pre-war baseball issue: 1914 B-18 felt blankets. These came folded in tobacco pouches, and are one of the nicer premiums of the era. Some were sewn into quilts - what a great thing for a mom to make for a young baseball fan! This one had a few minor stains, which allowed me to pick it up for $30.
Example of an antique "folk art" quilt made using B-18 blankets.
Nice pickup. Its good to see your still working on this. I may pick an older player to collect once my pickups with the McGriff PC slows down.
BTW, there is a sweet pink batter up of Rabbit on eBay right now in your price range..
I waited this one out, and since no one had bid, decided to just throw an offer out there and see if he'd bite. Very happy to win this for $25! Half way done with the six color combinations now - will be a cool rainbow if I ever finish it. 1934-36 Batter Up.
