Biggest vintage pickup I've had all year imo. The incredibly rare 1936 World Wide Gum issue is one of the most coveted vintage Greenberg issues, and even in rough condition bring tons of coin. Incredibly happy to land this one, as even though it's low-grade it still has nice eye appeal!

Congratulations. That looks great just the way it is. I'll take that card over 10 new Panini GU cards. I'm jealous, need the Rabbit Maranville from that set, even though it's a funny picture of Maranville as it's a Manager card. Hoping to find one in lower condition like your Greenberg.

Thanks. It's a tough card and a tough set. I think as the years go on, this set and cards within it will continue to rise in value. How often have you seen the Maranville pop up?

I think twice on eBay in last 18 months.

Sheesh. That's about how often the Greenberg comes up. Best of luck to you, if I see one I will surely let you know

Haven't updated this thread in a bit, here are some recent pickups from the last two months

I found this really cool postcard and haven't seen anything like it before, so I had to have it



Always happy to add another cut auto



Been after this bat card for a long time, happy to finally land it



These two were gifts from [MENTION=7024]holybull[/MENTION], he's been quite the good friend to me!

 

[RStadlerASU22]

Good stuff as always. I like that cut "postcard" with the clean auto.

Nice shoes, brah.

As a stats junkie I love this cut. That season was borderline ridiculous! One of 6 members of the 60 doubles club. Clean sig, too.

Thanks dudes, I also really love the cut. Scotty, if you are interested in the shoes they are NFS/NFT!
