The rest of the sale.

[Jacklitsch]

Looks like you're making great progress Bob on one of my favorite sets.

I've been working on the 1909 Obak Horizontal cards. Picked up Mohler last month and Mr. Wiggs arrived today. Six down four more to go.

Just in today. Thanks Louis!

[brianp-beme]

Just received the pictured 1909 Obak of Fitzgerald, which was the final card I needed to complete the set...hooray! I started the set about 11 years ago, but suffered a six year dry spell where I was stuck needing just two cards, the Shinn and Fitzgerald. Our own Anthony S. remembered I needed the Shinn a few months ago and made sure one ended up my hands, and then notified me last month that this Fitzgerald was available, so he was incredibly instrumental in helping me tame the Monster's PCL cousin. Thanks!

Now here is the chance to help Anthony out...he is down to just needing one card--Speas--to finish his 1909 Obak set, as you can see in his BST posting. These cards can be elusive, but someone out there probably has one available, and can help make Anthony's day

[docpatlv]

After having lost out on a Mathewson and Johnson over the last year or so, was very happy to add this PM1 to the collection...

Bravo!

Congrats Brian on completing the 1909 Obak set !! Must be a great feeling of accomplishment :)

Nice C46's Tbob. That wags pin is stunning:cool:

[TT40391]

My first Fred Toney of the new year for my small but growing Toney collection. Special Thanks to Rhett for letting me know this got posted on ebay. I have been looking for one of these for a while now. If only I could find a D381 Toney or a E135 or Boston Store Toney now I would be so happy. I am content with this gem for now. If these were issued in 1911, I am surprised Toney made it into this issue because Toney only pitched in a couple of game for the cubs in 1911. I am glad he made it in though.

Picked up this sharp looking Waddell portrait from fellow member Ron Rice. What a BLAZER! Sharp colour! Well centred! Super nice for the grade! An A+ transaction, thanks Ron!

[t206hound]

I think that 'divit' that goes through to the back of the card will cost a full grade; I'd say 3.5-4
I hope you're right David!

[yanksfan09]

My first Zeenuts (not correct scale)....And also have to say, that Ty Cobb PC is awsome, congrats.

[Leon]

Mr.Hull, you have an awesome AB carton and pack there. I have never seen the carton....would love to know more about it.....

Actually a very late January addition, but never got around to posting it. A huge thank you to Scott Brockelman for noticing this one was
on my 2011 want list and contacted me shortly thereafter. Very much appreciated....

http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a95/andreatny/t207weaverfront.jpg http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a95/andreatny/t207weaverback-1.jpg

[jimonym]

Thanks, guys.

The carton now contains one pack. According to the previous owner, it once contained 40-some full packs. She had acquired it/them at a country store auction in Gettysburg, PA in 2006 or 2007, but has been selling the packs off one by one since. I'm sure some board members have picked some of them up.

The pack's tax stamp was cancelled in July 1905, and both the pack and the carton are marked as coming from Factory 25 in Virginia. Slightly pre-T card era, but pretty darn close.

[T206.org]

Really nice Lundgren, Drew! I'd say "ya done well" posting a picture.

Jim... beautiful AB carton!!

Thats a very cool Jimmie Foxx diecut photo. He grew up in the area I live in. Is the Easton team Easton, MD by any chance?

Nice double play combo Patrick. Now you just need to learn the poem verbatim, and you'll have a presentation with few rivals.

New pickups ... cards I never thought I'd find!

Burkett was from Clean Sweep. I just received it, less than 24 business hours after I mailed the check!

Evers & Terry are from davidbvintage (another great ebay seller)

Dan

[bcbgcbrcb]

Dan:

Very nice Terry Rookie, Dan. I like the Burkett a lot too, not many career contemporary cards for him.

[Tigerden]

Just picked up this real neat 1940's era metal baseball figural. Thanks to Brock for posting this previously or I would have never known that it was the figural portion off of a tie rack. Probably overpaid because it is missing the tie rack portion, but thought it would look real cool in my display room.

[Jason Carota]

Added a few well-loved examples for my set:

[vintagecpa]

Thanks Richard. Another successful transaction on BST. Definitely my favorite Cobb card and the reason I started the E95 set. It doesn't exactly enhance my SGC Registry set, but I couldn't pass this bad boy up.

[peterb69]

Thanks to Andrew & Leon, I made a huge dent in my needed T205 backs. After getting these 2 backs, I just need a green Broad Leaf to have all back types. I'm also just 4 (a very hard 4) away from my master T205 set. Please see signature.

[Leon]

PeterB- those are tougher backs than what is currently being seen. Except for the very small group of 6 Hindu's and the St.Louis? find of Drums, those things are almost never seen.

The buyer of the Stengel Koesters card and I were in discussions for me to buy it when the thread went up about it. Even though my snipe didn't take, I was within about $25 of the winning bid on ebay. I need it as an upgrade. I contacted the buyer today, who is a good hobby friend, and we worked a nice trade out. It will be an upgrade for my Bancroft (not sure how you tell it between a W575-1 and D383 though) Koesters......I do like this portrait pose and am glad to add it to my collection (see BST tomorrow for it's new $1095 price).....

[Robextend]

Cool looking card for my R313 set (56% complete)

Very nice super rare pickups Peter, and good luck on the remaining few.

[GrayGhost]

My first Tobacco card in years, Ah, on a Low Budget..haha. VERY nice eye appeal for the grade.;)
Yikes, the scan does NOT do it justice.

[TT40391]

After a few years of searching I have added a Toney no trees to my Fred Toney collection thanks to FW. He was very patient with me having to back out a few times and even gave me a discounted price. To top everything off it is a one of a kind, I can't wait for it to get here in the mail later this week!

[canjond]

http://www.jimonym.com/3lot3.jpg

Ahhh now I know who outsniped me. I was the runner up on it (and sorry for bumping it up over $700).

[jb217676]

Picked up the McGraw from Ron Rice, the Joss from Mike Healer (thanks guys!) and the Jackson from the 'bay!

[DanP]

From davidbvintage on ebay:

[TexasLeaguer]

Here are three items I picked up recently. The first is a postcard from 1934 showing Babe Ruth among others who barnstormed around Japan for awhile. The second is my first and only T206, Hooks Wiltse pitching. The third is a photograph that was personally owned by Cy Young, and it is stamped on the back with his signature, which was his habit with many of his photographs. He is shown in his later years alongside Ruth and Jane Benedum.

[glchen]

Nice postcard. Is that a Ruth sig on the postcard with the others?

[HRBAKER]

Pinhole but o/w a nice looking card

Nice Simmons Rookie, Dan. That's one of the toughest Exhibit Rookies out there.

[TexasLeaguer]

Nice postcard. Is that a Ruth sig on the postcard with the others?

Yeah, but they are all facsimile signatures.

[tbob]

The Kroh is not an easy common in the E97 set, especially in decent condition. I paid more for the Wells than I would have preferred but it is a toughie in the C46 set and this is the highest ever graded :D Thanks Steve M.

I really like these Large Letter P2 pins so I find myself picking them up from time to time.

[carrigansghost]

Nice Trae, do you put a premium on double name cards?

Rawn

[T206.org]

Thanks, Rawn - I feel that if it's a full second name, or nearly full, like this Adkins, then it's worth a little something extra, yeah. At $75, I paid an extra 40% or so on this card, mainly because it's as clean as it is. It's an SGC 40, but as you can see it looks better.

I also think that the no names, or name only at the top should fetch a similar premium.

[deadballpaul]

Always wanted one of these.

Trae, I'd been watching that BIN, but never pulled the trigger. Good buy!

Thanks, Daryl - I came back to it 3 or 4 times over the past few weeks, and decided today was the day, because I'd be bummed if it showed up as 'Ended' in my watch list. :)

The month started with a BL350 find and led to these: SC350 w/ Stamp & a 2002 Topps T206 P350.

Anymore info on the "Harrold A. Perris" stamp? I've seen a Ramly and another T206 with that stamp. A simple Google search showed he was born in 1904 and died about 2002? "Lake George" NY?

[joeadcock]

Agree with Rob, good way to start T205 set by ghooper33.

[familytoad]

I took the plunge and bought a small lot of C46's from cool dude Richard Armstrong back 'round first of the year...and now they are back from NJ, all protected in slabs. I guess I'll wait for tbob to finish his set, then try for more;)
Here are just a few scans.
The others can be see at the link http://www.sgccardregistry.com/gallery.aspx?cat=1&set=421&userset=5875

Thanks and a tip of the hat to Ken Cohen for selling me these two C46s.
Hi Brian :) Good luck with your set and soon as I get the last handful I need, you'll have a clear field!

[DanP]

This was my end of the trade with Paul Stewart. Like Paul was, I also was extremely happy with the trade!! Thanks, Paul!!!

I guess the Dean is going to Beckett since SGC did not have a holder for it.
Does anyone here know if PSA would be able to holder it?

[bcbgcbrcb]

Very nice, Dan. PSA does not have a holder large enough for the Dean.

[DanP]

Very nice, Dan. PSA does not have a holder large enough for the Dean.

Phil, I knew you'd know the answer to that question!

Dan

[Matt]

Dan - nice pickup on the Rice RC!

[jb217676]

Travis

[mannybb24]

Wow, awesome card Travis!! What a tough find, Congrats!!!

Steve

[tlwise12]

Thanks Steve...It was a pretty tough find and even tougher to get someone to part with one of these!!!

[ChiefBenderForever]

I was pretty happy to see the fedex truck pull up today.

[Leon]

Congrats on the E286 Johnny....those are so tough....

[greenmonster66]

Another for my horizontal collection!

[ChiefBenderForever]

Congrats on the E286 Johnny....those are so tough....

Thanks man ! I feel like I have some lost treasure and can't believe it's in my collection !

[mannybb24]

A big thank you to Phil Garry for this beauty.
I can finally cross this one off my list, Yea!!!!

[docpatlv]

Johnny....nice pick-up on the JuJu Bender. As Leon said, very tough type card. Probably only a handful of any player out there. Congrats.

[Robextend]

Awesome pickup Johnny, congrats!

[tbob]

Who says it doesn't pay to read this Board? In reading the thread about the 1909 Obak Gandil, I checked the seller's auctions and found he had some cards which did not sell, probably because of the insufficient listing. I bought a nice 1910 T212 Briggs which not only has the rare 150 Subjects backs but has a ghost player image on the back, all for less than $50. Not too shabby. :D

[DanP]

A big thank you to Phil Garry for this beauty.
I can finally cross this one off my list, Yea!!!!

Steve, nice pickup! I blinked and missed this one. Bad for me but good for you. Congrats!

Dan

[mannybb24]

Thanks Dan!! A few board members contacted me before I saw it or else I probably would have lost out as well........a big thanks to those who helped me out!!
I have only seen 3 of these up for public sale in the past 5 years or so, I believe, so I'm definitely happy to add this one to my collection.

Steve

[BBT206]

Just received this Doyle in a trade.

[t206hound]

Bought this raw in a lot last month and received back from SGC this month. The back has tape and some paper loss, but I think it's a beautiful card:

[Tim Kindler]

Thanks Rob D. for another flawless transaction on the BST! This is my best Lajoie yet. My blue background and my red background Lajoies are SGC 10s.
I just need the green background now. Anyone have one to sell?;)

[Mikehealer]

Very nice Hindu, Bill. A toughie to boot.

[Robextend]

Great pickups guys!

Thanks to Steve Murray for this elusive little beauty. Only need Armstrong, Booles, and Martin to complete my set. Email if you have any/all of these three--I have trade material in 209-1s: mpeich@comcast.net.

Cheers, Mike

The image quality on that Goudey is unreal. Congrats!

Dang it, Neal! :) I was the under bidder!!!

[GrayGhost]

My first ever Sporting life card..

[jimivintage]

Picked up quite a few from my fellow HOF RC collector/helper, Dan. Here are a few of the cards from the 20+ card lot I just picked up. :)

[jimivintage]

oops, sorry about the Harris being upside down. :) Also, sorry about the large scans. Here is one more of the lot from Dan. Thanks, buddy!

[DanP]

Jim, I always loved that Ross Young card! I'm going to miss him. Luckily he has the same pose on the Koester Bread!! Dan

Nice haul David!!

[jimivintage]

Just got this one in the mail today. One more off the HOF RC list! Presents well for a 30. Very happy!

[joeadcock]

Hello to all Net54 members.

[Kawika]

Tip Top pick-up, JA!

[mybuddyinc]

A BIG net54 THANK YOU to Ed W.

Although I don't collect T212's, I've always thought Wiggs and his wisp of clouds was a vintage classic. Add a “Buck Baker Back” and this became one of those random must-have cards !!!!!

33820

Deciphering the back:

James A. LR (indication he was a switch hitter ?)
Salt L – Cinn – SF 04 (Salt Lake – Cincinnati – San Francisco, 1904)
SL + NO 5 (Salt Lake and New Orleans, 1905)
BAK [BRK?] Det 6 (???????????* - Detroit, 1906)
Denver – Tol (Denver** - Toledo, 1907)
Altoona 8 (Altoona, 1908)
Oak 9 (Oakland, 1909)
Mont 10 (Montreal, 1910)
Oak 11 (Oakland, 1911)
Sea S/11 (Seattle, 1911)

B79 (who knows ?!?)

Long Jim in pencil

* Bak/Brk – Any ideas ???
** Can't find reference to him playing in Denver

[Vintagecatcher]

I have always thought the Wiggs T212 was a classic card as well.

According to The Baseball Reference, Big Jim Wiggs was born on "September 1, 1876 in Trondhjem, Norway." My guess is that B79 was meant to be a notation for date of birth, although there seems to be a 3 year difference from the data on The Baseball Reference page.

[joeadcock]

Thanks to Matt Goebel(fellow net 54 member).

Egan cards are great.

[Exhibitman]

I'll bet Egan used to say "duh" a lot...

[BlueDevil89]

This one arrived in the mail today (coincidentally, today is Old Pete's birthday)...

[Vintagecatcher]

Picked this S74 silk up earlier tonight.

Not the best condition, but, nevertheless, a cool color combination.


Patrick

[brass_rat]

Got this one off eBay this month. I'm playing around with taking photos of cards rather than scanning, but I'm finding that I'm definitely no expert when it comes to finding the right lighting or settings.

Picked up the '48 Bowman Feller from forum member yankeeno7. Also came with a bonus card... a 2001 Bowman Heritage signed by Feller! You rock Barry!

[brass_rat]

Nice Demmitt.

Thanks, Mike!

...and nice Joss you picked up!
