These back-damaged beauties arrived just before the New Year ...

Isn't it January 2012? :)

[kcohen]

Been wanting one of these for awhile.

[Vegas-guy]

Ended the year or started the year off strong?? Either way thanks to a fellow board member I added these 5..:D

[asoriano]

Been wanting one of these for awhile.

Love it, Ken. Still need to add one of those to my collection.

[the-illini]

Tough OJ Manager card...

[Runscott]

Tough OJ Manager card...

That guy actually looks like an Old Judge

[t206hound]

This one was waiting for me when I returned home from the holidays. A T206 name on top just like I like 'em

[frohme]

That guy actually looks like an Old Judge

Or Terry Bradshaw

[Tim Kindler]

Thanks to a fellow board member for selling me this Orange Background Wagner! Just the Blue one to go! Please see my Want List of E98s on the BST, and if you are in need of $ for the New Year's upcoming auctions, please consider selling me one of the ones that I need if you have one. Thanks for looking! Tim Kindler

Loved the Kalamazoo Bats earlier in the thread.

Arrived on New Year's Eve! Sorry, Line is from scanner???

[AndyG09]

Tim,

Congrats on the Wags! That is a huge one off the list! Hope your BST post yields you a few more. Hope all is well friend.

Best,

Andy

[Bicem]

great Wags, but man you got to get a new scanner!

[Tim Kindler]

Andy,
Thanks for the endorsement on my E98s. Best wishes on your continuing of TAMING THE MONSTER! :eek: I can't wait to see your set all finished!

My compliments to Vegas-Guy too onthose T206 beauties earlier in the thread!

Take Care my Friend!
Tim

Thanks Jeff! And yes, my 2003 scanner has seen better days!

[atx840]

This one was waiting for me when I returned home from the holidays. A T206 name on top just like I like 'em

Erick I was hoping you got him, how about the Pickering?

[GasHouseGang]

Tough OJ Manager card...

His nickname is "bald"? Must have been a really good sport. I wonder if they called him that to his face? Looks kind of like Robert Duvall to me.

[t206hound]

Erick I was hoping you got him, how about the Pickering?

Thanks, Chris. The Pickering didn't "make the cut" for me... I'm getting very picky.

[bbcard1]

Getting closer on the T206s

Not the world's cleanest example but a nice image.

That's a beauty of a one... nice pickup!

[novakjr]

Started the year with a few cheap beaters..Despite it's obvious flaws, I'm kinda excited about the WaJo.

[tbob]

Tim- Nice Wagner! As I recall the orange background Honus was the toughest of the 4 for me to find. Greens and blues are out there, red was tough but orange for this player was very hard to find.

[jboosted92]

I picked up this bat, a HOF sidewritten 1921 Bill (Wm) McKechnie Gamer. During bidding i began research, because at first it didnt make sense why McKechnie would have a gamer in 1921, as to he didnt start coaching Pittsburgh till 1923, well the Block Letter Lober, played in the AA (milwaukee) , and sure enough research showed Bill played that very same year in AA (Minneapolis) .....nice HOF gamer at a steal....

[Tyler]

I just recently decided to start up my Addie Joss collection, again. When I saw 'Skydash' on the flip, I knew I must have it. One of the most fascinating threads of all time, and now I own, and cherish, a small part of it...

[dog*dirt]

I was not sure where to put this since it is a card and a photo.
Jimmy Foxx Photo stamped 1938 and his 39-46 Exhibit card

[abothebear]

I have been looking for a good price on this one for a while and happened to find one a couple weeks ago. Finally got it scanned yesterday.

[deadballera]

here's one

[mybuddyinc]

Gotta love the "English" stats for Sisler.
I always thought he hit .420 in 1922, but they are right: 246/586 = .41979.
:rolleyes:

[abothebear]

the other weird thing about that card is, why is Babe Ruth catching and why is Joe Jackson on deck?

[packs]

Is there a baseball monument in Washington?

[bh3443]

I love this Aaron and it looks so much nicer w/o my glasses!

[calvindog]

Thanks to Brian for this one:

[tbob]

Jeff- nice Chase stamps.
Finally splurged and bought the toughest pin in the P2 Sweet Caporal set.

[fkm_bky]

Thanks to Brian P for the heads up on this auction. Been wanting one for years and years without the $1,000+ price tag. While just "slightly" trimmed, it is a great placeholder. :) - Bill

A '36 Goudey Wide pen Mel Harder and a few '48 Magic Photo's for my Cleveland collection. Actually, the Jesse Owens fits my Cleveland collection as well, just not baseball, or pre-war(sorry).

Another HOF Rookie for the collection...On a smaller and post-war note, I also managed to check off a Pompez and Wilkinson with the 2006 HOF Plaque PC's..

[t206blogcom]

Some more January pickups. First scan with my new Epson V33. Finally, I can get a decent scan of slabbed cards.

New top card

[TexasLeaguer]

recent pick-ups...

[dstraate]

Damn WoJo looks like a beast in that picture. I see why they called him the Big Train

[ValKehl]

Fortunately for the Washington Senators, Saccramento dealt George Earl McNeely to the Senators in August 1924, because it was McNeely's bad-hop ground-ball base hit that bounced over Freddie Lindstrom's head, driving in Muddy Ruel with the winning run in the bottom of the 12th inning of the 7th game of the 1924 World Series, making WaJo the winning pitcher of Washington's only World Series Championship!

It seems strange to me that McNeely's name is spelled correctly on his 1922 & 1924 Zeenuts cards, but incorrectly on his 1923 Zeenuts card. Thanks again to Mark M. for these 3 McNeely Zeenuts.

[39special]

I just started getting into pre-war cards.These are my first buys,all from fellow board members.(Thanks Guys!!)

[TexasLeaguer]

Nice...a T205 Bender was my first pre-war card. The Collins looks very nice for a 1.

[AndyG09]

Phil,

Congrats on landing the Bernhard. I know that one had been quite elusive for you.

Best,

[nolemmings]

I recently won the April 6, 1916 edition of The Sporting News, which contains the first ad placed in that periodical by Felix Mendelsohn promoting his m101 set. The ad is 4 1/2 x 9", and is in much better shape than the rest of the issue:
http://photos.imageevent.com/imoverhere/mym101s/m1012/huge/mendelsohnad.jpg
I always wanted this as a companion piece to my m101 cards.

[h2oya311]

Nice pick-ups, Derek. I used to own both of those at one time.

see Phil, I'm getting closer to my 2012 collecting goals - - I should re-name my collection: "the Phil Garry Sloppy Seconds Collection"...

[Section103]

My stuff usually doesnt hold a candle to the amazing items that come across here; but Im extremely pleased with these pickups Ive made over the past 2+ weeks. Given that I try to collect these specific players; finding them in these sets (or in any set, in the case of HW Rip Collins) requires some patience. (The 1st one was sourced from my neighbor GhostMarcelle - thanks!)

[Cooper1927]

...Old Judge card! I purchased it this past weekend at a card show in Arlington, TX. My wife was kind enough to let me splurge. The folks at the show I purchased from were very nice and had a great selection of pre-war baseball as well as tons of post-war.

[t206blogcom]

Another one crossed off the list.

[E93]

Mike,
That is a great card. I'm not sure if you were aware, but your Evers is missing a layer of color (Red I think). I have seen a handful of E93s like this. I have one Evers and also a Plank and a Tinker missing a layer of ink. Very cool. Here are my two Evers (yellow and orange) for comparison. 99% of E93 Evers I have seen are orange. Yours is only the second "yellow" Evers example I have seen. You can tell by looking at the face and glove that it is not just faded, but missing a layer of ink.

Jim, thanks for the info. I was not aware of this, but it's easy to see in your comparison. By the way those two Evers of yours are outstanding, it's always a pleasure to see cards from your collection.

Thanks again,

Those Pinkertons are amazing, Jeff. Congrats!

[rainier2004]

My Dad gave me this card for Christmas which was celebrated late this year. He purchased it 25 years ago at a local show in 1985 we figure. I was insistant for him to buy the card, I found, for 50 cents when i was 8 yrs old. He thought it could be something that gets passed down because of the memory involved with the card and it involved both of us. I think its the second most valuable card I own.

[t206hound]

Thanks Andy for a great trade. Just ten shy of 200.

[ArchStanton]

I haven't been this excited about a card in a while.

I agree. That ghost image is so stunning and it is so clear that it looks like a T206 Chance and a M116 Chance back to back!
Great Card!
Take Care, Tim Kindler

[joeadcock]

Jeff
2 nice Pinkertons. Look nice encapsulated.

Nice bunch of Red Cobb's.

Nice wet sheet transfer near Bill's head.

Glad to see you got it.

[Robextend]

Technically not new pickups, but just got these back today from SGC.

I have 103 T206 Tolstoi backed cards. I hope to go over 50% of the confirmed list this year.

Also finally have all the basic Rube Waddell T206 front back combos. 15 in total (8 portrait, 7 throwing). I hope to get a nice picture of them all soon.

Three days, three packages... love it. These three are fresh from SGC and make it 195.

[chaddurbin]

nice clean cards for the grade erick

[CW]

My Dad gave me this card for Christmas which was celebrated late this year. He purchased it 25 years ago at a local show in 1985 we figure. I was insistant for him to buy the card, I found, for 50 cents when i was 8 yrs old. He thought it could be something that gets passed down because of the memory involved with the card and it involved both of us. I think its the second most valuable card I own.

That's the best thing posted in the last 6 weeks. If I worked at PSA/SCG/etc, I would rate that card a 10

Doug

I agree! Or you might say.... technical grade -- 1, sentimental grade -- GEM MT 10. :) Good stuff.


Also lovin that ghost image, Chris! Nice!

"^^^ Very close to being orange-ish. Nice assembly of red Cobbs! Your collection obviously has focus. :)"

Thanks! I noticed that too once the other Cobbs started to show up. The print is bolder than the red Cobbs so I would have to to go on a limb and say that it is possibly orange. I wanted to get the other T206 Cobbs in the set but I love the reds, which might not have been the wisest choice considering how many the are. Still looking though......

Thanks, Phil. Obviously, some pinhole damage but I'd never seen it either. You'd think the owner could have put the pinhole a little to the left or right? Oh, well... still happy to have it and glad it survived at all.

Sweet PC's Jason, congrats!!

Here are some recent pick-ups. The T206 Fred Clarke Sweet Cap 150 and the 1907 Grignon Frank Chance PC are from the BST. The 1913 Pastime Novelty Co. Christy Mathewson PC was my end of a big trade. The Matty is easily by best PC!

My pleasure. I'll definitely need to replace that one at some point.

I was pretty excited to get this one back from SGC. I actually bought and posted the card last summer, and just now got around to having it graded. Graded better than I thought.

Best regards,

with every new T205 I pick up, the more I fall in love with this set. It amazes me that this set seems to get so much less attention than T206s. While I understand the absence of action shots is a strike against it, everything else about it is amazing. The portraits are incredible, the facsimile autographs on the NL player cards, the full write-ups, the gold borders...these are like T206s on crack AND steroids!!! Anyway, back to enjoying the humble start of my T205 collection...

Very clean example Dean. Nicely done.

[atx840]

Very clean card Dean. Great pickup!

[DeanH3]

Thanks guys. I'm very happy with it. It is really clean and the focus is dead on. The first pre-war card I bought was this card, but in a PSA 8, back in 2000. I quickly realized that I would have a very small collection if I kept going after 8's. So I sold it and started going after mid-grade cards and I have no regrets. It's a thrill to find mid-grade cards with great eye appeal. :)

[Vegas-guy]

Wow! Just won these on the bay for way less than I thought? Makes me wonder what I'm missing???? An HOF in 60 for less than 200..:) And added another one to my N.Y. Amer. for less than 90..:) Maybe just a little OC?

I will add to the compliments on that '33 Gehrig - that's about as good as you could want for that card.

Thank You, Scott and Thank You Historic Images (O/T) for the reunion picture of the Four Horsemen of Notre Dame plus one of their tackles, James Boland.

This is card #12 on my long road to completing a T205 set in VGish condition...not sure if this qualifies as the black signature or the blue signature or maybe a little bit of both...

Picked up a couple more T210-2's off Ebay last week.

[ScottFandango]

for those of you that collect T210, i want to know why..

since they are all minor leaguers, you cant be player collectors..is it for the thrill of the chase? have you completed sets of real Major leaguers already?
is it the belief that they are undervalued?

thanks for the response...

I don't collect this set, but I think it's because many people like how the set looks and that the cards are reasonably affordable. Also, there is an iconic card in the set, i.e., the T210 Shoeless Joe Jackson, which is arguably his most valuable card.

[atx840]

I think its one of cleanest looking sets out there, if I decide to move away from the T206s, it is high on my list of potential sets.

[bcbgcbrcb]

Don't forget the T210 Casey Stengel which is also a very popular (and expensive) card as well.

[ScottFandango]

interesting opinion....i bet if they were color lithographs instead of black and white, their popularity would be off the charts...

I collect -2's because they are all Virginia Based teams and the set has 15+ Hometown Richmond Colt Cards to collect.And its alot more challenging than my other collections by far.

Lots of minor league issues are highly collected. Obaks and Zeenuts come to mind. I collect T210's because they offer cards of teams that you can't find with any other set. If it weren't for the T210 set, the T206 Foley White card would be the only pre-war card made of a Houston Buffalo player. On top of that I think they're gorgeous cards.

Maybe Im the one guy who bought a T210 minor leaguer based on the player and not on the set. Or maybe not. Collecting interests can be extremely diverse.

Scott - I love T210's for many reasons including (in no particular order) :

- Massive set with many scarce cards which presents a bit of a challenge and also a solid number of rare cards that you may only see once in your lifetime.
- The set contains many Major Leaguer's with a story to tell... (Fun research set)
- The set can be collected by portrait, batters, fielders, catchers with gear, or by town or city, state, team, league, or even by series. (8 series - 51 teams)

A collector can collect this set in such a variety of ways. I have enjoyed collecting the set over the last decade + and it still excites me.

[John V]

Living in the Columbia, SC area it was a natural to collect T210 Series 1 Columbia players. I've considered jumping on Charleston, Greenville, etc. but haven't made the move yet.

I've wanted one of the 1908 George Wright Postcard of Morgan Bulkeley for a long time now. And somehow I ended up with two of these beauties from the bay...One with address lines, and one without. Every other one I've seen so far has had the lines. YAY! VARIATIONS :D

[bcbgcbrcb]

Nice, David.

I'll have to remember to check the back of mine the next time I have it in hand.

Actually now that I'm looking, the photo on the front is different as well. The one you sold in '09 was the other photo. Very nice Phil.
