Won this cool little booklet on eBay... It's a salesman book for the American Tobacco Company for 1912, listing the brands and prices they produced. I've never seen anything like it before.

That's a terrific piece Jon. Nice way to start the year!

[canjond]

Thank you for the kind words. I'll be curious to see the other brands listed when thr book arrives. It appears cigarettes are listed alphabetically. If there ate any other neat tidbits in it when it arrives, I'll post some photos.

[Bicem]

great pickup Josh, one of my fav. Young cards.

[T206.org]

Jon, that booklet is killer! Nice find.

[cfc1909]

e94 complete in purple is going to be some sight. I would love to see the scans. Good job.

[Abravefan11]

Jon that is a really cool piece.

Josh, if you don't mind me asking, where did you find the E94 purple Young? I've been looking for a nice low grade one for a long time with no success. Unlike you, I'm not trying to complete the set. It's just one of my favorite cards.

[asoriano]

Tim,

Beautiful Fatima!

[Epps]

The Young was on ebay awhile back. There's also some other E94 Young's listed as well.

[HBroll]

1917 Rose & Co. Chicago Fabric Sample Book w/ Babe Ruth

Hey Paul, as noted above, it was listed on ebay with a very high BIN. Fortunately for me, the seller accepted what I thought was a very reasonable offer for the card.

[paul]

I guess I need to learn to ask sellers to take a lower offer!

[Anthony S.]

The only known baseball card of siamese twins. This card has worked it's way through a few board members over the past couple years, but will remain in my man cave for the foreseeable future.

[Vintagecatcher]

Anthony,

Nice pickup!

This registration shift happened way before the shift on Big Papi.

Happy New Year,

I picked these 2 up this week... and I love them!

[Brian Van Horn]

Thank You, Tom and Thank You for the bonus autograph:

[B O'Brien]

My first venture outside of Prewar tobacco or Goudey cards.
I hear this is a D329 Weil Baking card. Looked like a good way to spend $12.00, as I start working on some cards from the "Big Easy".

I also added a couple T206's that I really like, because I can't help myself!
Let me know if you happen to know the location of an American Beauty Eddie Collins
Happy New Year,

Doggone it Josh, I thought I had a steal on that violet Young :(
I guess I would have if it hadn't been violet...

[chaddurbin]

tbob if it makes u feel any better i offered the seller what essentially amounted to $150 extra in cash and i was willing to drive up 40 min and pick it up a couple months back but i guess he really wanted jk to finish that violet set...

Paul,
The purple Young is very tough. In 10+ years of watching E94s, I have only seen three of them including the one Josh just got.

Nice pickup Josh.

It's Les Bell, pictured on a strip card (W 560) as a Brave.

I'm not sure if Les Bell has a card as a Cardinal, so I cheated
and picked him up as a Brave, as he rarely has any cards at
all on E Bay.

[paulcarek]

Haven't been able to post any new stuff for a while, so it's nice to share these two. Thanks to Quan for the Foxx, and Dave (Bagger) for the Hubbell.

The second is a T206 Burch batting that I picked up off eBay for a mere $28. Anyone guess what kind of grade this would get if it went to SGC? SGC 30 maybe?

[calvindog]

I'm not sure why this card graded a 1. It has a 6-7 front and a couple of small spots of paper loss on the back. I've got a green E98 Chase graded a 4 with the same great front and the same amount of paper loss on the back. Of course, it cost 3x more because of the grade. Meanwhile, when I was at the White Plains show this weekend one of the great guy dealers had a Ramly Donlin in PSA 4 with paper loss on the front of the card, just under Donlin's face -- and it was a considerable amount, not tiny dots -- and it was graded PSA 4.

<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/calvindog/4284435463/" title="1910 Set of 30 E 98 (Blue) by calvindog65, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2683/4284435463_a846b41045_o.jpg" width="450" height="758" alt="1910 Set of 30 E 98 (Blue)" /></a>

Nice pickup on the Chase. The guy had a bunch of E98's in low grades but they all looked pretty nice.

Another non Brave tobacco type card.

[Kawika]

That's a beautiful card, Tim. A hundred years old! I was going to take a shot at it because I thought it was the same guy as the Spartanburg Martin in the T209 Colors. A little sleuthing around at the SABR minor league data base proved me wrong although there is some resemblance. Relatives, maybe? Here is the skinny on your guy, pitcher Herbert Martin of the Greensboro Champs:

http://photos.imageevent.com/kawika_o_ka_pakipika/bbbofsfirstclass/t2091contentneaseries1/websize/T209_Martin.jpg
(Why he has a "W" on his cap I have not been able to figure out).

Edited to add: Righteous Billiken, Steve. Watch out, they're habit forming.

[mannybb24]

Another nice Billiken from Matt G.

[mybuddyinc]

David / Tim,
Agree, the B/W Martin is Herbert as referenced in your link.
The Color Martin is most likely "P." Martin:
http://www.baseball-reference.com/minors/player.cgi?id=martin002p--
1907-1909, SS, Spartanburg
1910, SS, Columbia, SAL, and has a T210-1 card.





I gotta get one of those Billiken's....... but I need one with the picked fence in backround !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[deadballera]

added another T210

[DixieBaseball]

I have been looking for this one for 7 years. My number was finally called and this T211 Red Sun ends a long dry run I have been on with T211 Nashville Types. Glad to add Bill to the team ! (Also, Thanks to the kind gentlemen who helped me!) The search continues...

Thanks for looking guys.

EDIT: Sorry about the title error. Obviously, it is an E92 Dockman & Sons Seigle and a W516-1-2 Schalk.

[Robextend]

For my 34 set...

[yanksfan09]

Hal Chase T3. Just got it back from SGC today. A little upset it didn't grade. I said "A" was okay so they didn't state a reason. I knew it was maybe a milimeter or so shorter than the other 3 T3's I have. But, It doesn't appear trimmed though. Maybe a short factory cut? looks VG-Ex+ . I don't know. It's a great looking card either way though and one of my new favorites....

[Matt]

I don't understand sometimes why people trimmed cards that had a pretty strong grade anyway - it looks like the top right corner of that Chase is a little "too "sharp, but that had to have been VG-EX, no matter what the missing sliver looked like. I have a trimmed CJ Cobb with basically the same thing - would have been VG-EX and someone decided to remove a sliver to sneak it by as an EX+.

Nice looking T3!

[yanksfan09]

Thanks Matt

[Pup6913]

Hope you like them. I want to give a big thanks to Bob H., Scott B., and Mike H. for the great and smooth transactions and hope many more are to come.
