Which pickup stood out to you more — the Philly Show finds or the REA auction win?

Hi Sammy. Awesome pickups my friend. I have to say that the Mathewson pickup is my favourite. You never ever see that type of item, at least I don, and to see how great of shape it is in, just incredible. Thanks for sharing these two beauties my good friend, talk soon pal.

Two nice pickups Sammy, really like the Mathewson, a unique piece you don’t see very often.

Hi Sammy, two awesome pickups. The Mathewson is a beautiful card and fits in your collection perfectly, as does the Seaver. I think the Mathewson caught my eye more. Thank you for sharing.

The matty really stood out to me because it's so unique, but that's a tough decision. Congrats on great choices Sammy

Sammy two awesome pickups. I would have to go with the Mathewson.

You hit the jackpot on your two pickups. The Mathewson is an amazing card, also the Seaver. I am going to have to give serious consideration to attending the December Philly show—as long as the weather is the same as Florida’s.

Agree with you re: paper loss on the back of Vene's. I almost don't like when the back is too clean.
