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 recent pickups.
First is the Red '34 Diamond Matchbook. So now have Red, Blue and Orange, with only Green remaining.
Second is a W590 strip card issued around 1926 (Rabbit was only a Cub in 1925, he has another variation in this set with Boston).
Card has a printing flaw in the facial area, but not bad for $25. W590 were printed on inferior card stock and prone to bad printing.
Cards like this were issued in strips and hand cut into cards.

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

Score on that Delong! Those are one of my favorite vintage sets. Small, but loaded.

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'd have to find a really poor condition 1926 Sport Company of America card to fit my $50 and under stipulation. But if you are looking for him in a Robins uniform, its the only option.

Not familiar with that issue by name, but my catalog knowledge of the pre30s stuff isn't great anyway. Looks like either someone cut this one down a bit or maybe it was a strip card type? I'll have to go consult the almanac to gain knowledge of this issue.

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.

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?

Yes, it has a brown infield variation - scarcer and more valuable.

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.

That quilt is really nice. I wonder if there have been reprints made just to use for quilting.

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.

Good deal on this one, a 1919-21 W514 strip card. Got it for $30 delivered.
W514's were issued in 5 and 10 card strips for 1 cent and 2 cents respectively. They were meant to be hand cut. Maranville was on the edge of the strip, so harder to find in good condition. W514's are considered "The T206 of Strip Cards" because the set had the largest player selection and more HOFers than any other strip card issue. Here's a photo of mostly uncut W515 and W514 strips, you can see Maranville in bottom right strip:

One step closer to the rainbow with the purchase of the Blue Tint R318 1934-36 Batter Up, shown below with 3 others I own. Need Brown and Red to complete.
