Thank you Chris, really appreciate it. What really made it special was the kind gestures from the great members on here, ::ahem:: something you may know about.



wolfmanalfredo - Nope, I <3 *** slabs. They are sweet, especially with the white labels. And I think it would be a 6 only because the surface [no creases but the streak mark going across the left center]. I'm already excited for our next sub though haha!

BEST MAILWEEK EVER!!!!!!



Just got home and opened my packages and got them all scanned. Man that was fun!



Next up I will post my white whale that I finally speared. As some of you know I am attempting to get a Red Sox vintage card [from their playing days] of the 'Million Dollar' Red Sox outfield consisting of none other than Harry Hooper, Duffy Lewis, and Tris Speaker. I bought the Harry Hooper 1910 E91 American Caramel PSA 2 last year for $165 dlvd and worth every penny [nicest looking card I have EVER seen]. So this year I have been searching a while for a Duffy Lewis...I had seen his T207 sell on Ebay once before for $175 dlvd [SGC 30/2] and missed out on that. So after doing a Google search I found one at Californiasportscards.com [Great service & fast shipping...I emailed the guy asking for a scan and he replied right away with a nice scan, very smooth transaction!]. So I purchased that one because it was in VG condition and had great centering for $180 dlvd, my new most expensive card and was well worth it!

SOO nice in person!!!! :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:



Thanks for looking everyone and thank you to everyone who contributed to my collection!!

-Scott

:shock: Scotty that card looks incredible!! Wow that is just awsome, Thank you for sharing...

Thanks! This summer hopefully I can scratch a few cards off of the vintage card wantlist [Doerr 50 Bowman, 51 Topps/Speaker Red Sox vintage card/Joe Wood E91/Teddy Williams vintage card/,etc.]


mlbsalltimegreats - Why Tony, that is because it is incredible. :mrgreen: Thanks man!

Thanks.
I love the fact that they are all graded Good [2]. I was actually hoping to find the last one graded a 2 so I was pretty excited as it is a matching 'rainbow'.


Phishmon - Thanks Jason!


LaneyB - Bruce, thanks a ton for the Lynn Sweet Spot auto! It's my 2nd SS auto of him and this one is sweet!! A great addition to my PC Thanks again!











By the way guys I got a Doerr card in today, scanning that in a minute!

 

[scotty21690]

K guys I had a crapload more typed up but my laptop froze and don't feel like typing it all up again. :x

Got this in today from a trade with James [Rebelpawn]:

#/19

EXTREMELY nice looking in person, and love how its got the "1" jersey cutout and the inscription! And thanks a ton James for the extras! [Red Sox 09 Topps/UD base, incredible photos!]







Here are my other three GU/autos with a "1" jersey cutout:

Thanks for looking,

Nice Scotty! Great stuff. Love the sig.

Thank you Chris! And I also love your sig, where did you find that quote?

 

[rebelpawn]

You're welcome buddy, I can't imagine a better place for that card then your collection.

 

[Chris D.]

Nice Scotty! Great stuff. Love the sig.

Thank you Chris! And I also love your sig, where did you find that quote?

It's from a biography called Walter Johnson, Baseball's Big Train written by his grandson. I believe I also read it in another book. I love it.
