Pretty cool card, too...

Bill - Nice Guiheen!

[dstraate]

David

Really love the way you used the frames to border an old catchers mask. All I ever do with mine is put them in boxes and get them out from time to time. That looks great.

[cdn_collector]

Wow! Nice pickup Steve. Does that complete that set for you?!

[tbob]

Thanks Matthew. 12. I picked up 4 a couple of weeks ago, these 4 Sunday on ebay and I had 4 others.

[tbob]

nice Bob...the 2's are nicer than the 3?!?!

Thanks Peter and Jimi. The backs are all clean and nice on the 4 cards. I agree that the 2s are nicer than the 3 which had some color flecking.

[novakjr]

Well, with Sam Breadon being on the pre-integration committee's ballot. I decided to pick up this 1931 Metropolitan Studios of him just in case. Yeah, it looks like hell, but it was cheap and the only one I could find. I also picked up the 1962 Topps Ruth card with Ruppert on it. Although, I honestly have no idea what are the first "cards"(loose term) of these guys...

[Jlighter]

A couple new ones.

[Merrillstoys]

[peterb69]

I just picked up the Wilhelm "suffered" card. Im working on a T205 Master set which is every card in the set including all back variations. And at least 1 card from every brand/factory.

Just 1 card to go, but I am not sure I will ever get it. The Hoblitzel "no stats" might just be to scarce and expensive.

Here is my latest addition:

[jimivintage]

Congrats on the t205 adventure, and best of luck on the last card find! I'm very jealous!

[CobbSpikedMe]

This beauty just showed up Monday. It was nice to come home after work and find it on the table. I've wanted one of these for a long time.

Thanks,

[pcoz]

Just got this, thanks Jeff! This is the only one known of its kind, and 1 of 4 different Real Photo PC's in this C.1915 set.

[Hot Springs Bathers]

Pete- I just sent you an extensive PM with some history on your great Ruth PC, photo taken at Majestic Field in Hot Springs, AR. With the current PM problems let me know if you did not get it and I will try a different method.

[btkpath]

Pete, that is an amazing PC of Ruth!!!

[Hot Springs Bathers]

Oh heck why not. As many of you know I am SABR geek so seeing something like this is great fun!

The photo PC is a shot of Babe at Majestic Field in Hot Springs, AR and is thought to be from Spring Training in 1915 or 1916. Majestic Field was located at the site of the current Boys & Girls Club and a baseball field sits on the very same site though for 50 years a swimming pool was at that location.

Majestic Field was created in 1909 following an argument between the Red Sox, Pirates, Dodgers and Phillies over the use of Whittington Park Field or Ban Johnson Field which was located near the downtown area at the north end of the trolley line. The Red Sox who stayed at the Majestic Hotel built their new field at the south end of the trolley line and named it for their hotel.

Part of each team's agreement with the city was free transportation on the trolley system.

A decade or so back this series of PCs turned up in a auction, perhaps on eBay? A reproduction of the set made it to our local Advertising & Promotions Commission which has done a wonderful job of promoting the birth of Spring Training here in 1886. Each year they issue a set of postcards with images of our history, there have been a dozen or so Bill Clintons and about 6 or 7 Babe Ruth and Honus Wagner issues. The PC Pete has which is amazing was one of the images reproduced years ago along with the others in the set.

This past March we launched the Hot Springs Historic Baseball Trail, a series of 27 large cast plaques honoring specific sites around town where significant baseball events occuered from 1886 to 1952. Some of the sites in incude each of the five fields used and such events as Ruth's 565 foot homerun on St. Patrick's Day 1918. Through a barn storming tour with Campanella and Robinson in 1952. By the way Ruth historian Bill Jenkinson sites the 1918 Ruth homer as the true turning point in Red Sox leaderships decision to let him play full-time. One of my favorites is the plaque at the site of the high school gymnasium where Wagner taught the school team how to play basketball. Walter Johnson was reported in the local paper to have joined in after enjoying a morning of hot baths.

During the event in March the A&P hosted a luncheon to honor the SABR members from all over that helped put the project together including Jenkinson from Philadelphia, Tim Reid from Florida and Don Duren of Dallas. Each member was given a framed set of copies of the PC set that Pete's card is from.

I do want to stress that the copies of the PCs were more black & white than sepia and were much larger. Sorry for my rambling, hope some of you got some fun out of it.

[pitchernut]

kind of hard to follow the previous post but.. the 202 is new.

[glchen]

Just got this, thanks Jeff! This is the only one known of its kind, and 1 of 4 different Real Photo PC's in this C.1915 set.

Holy cow! That is a great postcard! Are there images available of the others in the set?

[Mikehealer]

Outstanding Ruth, Pete.

[pcoz]

Mike, thanks for all the info. I really appreciate it!! Here are 2 of the other images. The last image I will post when I get it in my hands. It has Ruth in a black sweater, sitting on the bench with a couple of players.

Pete those postcards are amazing! The copies made here look like they are new and can not be confused for the real things. Just wanted to make that clear for everybody.

[Vintagecatcher]

Many thanks to Mike Taylor for this beautiful Gabby Street T205 with an American Beauty back.

It will make a nice companion piece to my T206 Street catching with an American Beauty back.


Thanks again Mike!

[big80s]

Thank you, Derek! Great PC!

[bcbgcbrcb]

C'mon, Pete. I really needed that Ruth PC for MY collection. Give a guy a break since you already have the other one.

Sorry to say that I had your old one previously and consigned it to REA a couple of years ago where it sold for only $5K. I was disappointed at the time but much more so now that thewy have been selling in the $15K range. Just to add, I can't afford that kind of price anyway..........

Hey Phil,
Lol I'm sure it would look good in your collection. I saw yours, which was the only other known PC which was an SGC 50. The one I picked up was the SGC 60 in Goodwin last year. Amazingly, the 2 I've added cost me a lot more than 15k per PC if you can believe that, as Ruth anything has skyrocketed. Especially, the really rare items.

Thanks Gary. All 4 PC's(3 Ruth, 1 Hick Cady) were originally purchased from an old private collection some years ago. As far as I know, these are the only 4 images that made up the set.

Hey Pete, this is Joe T. and I wanted to congratulate you on those awesome Babe Ruth postcard pickups. I originally owned the "hands on hip" one before selling it to Jeff earlier this year. Super investment card, especially considering the excessive demand for early Ruth memorabilia. Enjoy!

I finished my 1940 Play Ball upgrade and have a nice vg/ex+ set with 1 crease inthe whole thing...already upgraded that card once and its very minor. I'M DONE!

Love the Sam Rice rookie-era, Chris!

Eugene, I lost out on your green Cobb by $4.06, I was the other bidder. I was out by the time it ended thinking I had it, but no and here it is to remind me to have buy an I-phone. Good pickup!

I'm glad you don't have an I-Phone (luckily I was home b/c I don't have an I-Phone either). It seems like they don't pop up in poor condition at auction that often.

[rainier2004]

3 cards, 3 upgrades and 2 from the Sun Times show. The show was as small as Ive ever seen, very little pre WW, less kids and overall disappointed. I did get to know Andy G, Matt (kzoo) and Bill (dont know screen name or last name) better and enjoyed the day with these characters!

[joeadcock]

Hello rainier

Where is SunTimes show at?

I live on west coast mid Fla and dont get to go to any of these type of shows. Would be great to go to smaller shows and meet some of the net54ers.

Real nice cards. One of the most beautiful to look at sets out there. Look so much better high grade.

[rainier2004]

Its in Chicago, every year the week prior to Thanksgiving and again in the Spring. I think 400 tables seems to be the concensus guess, but this year seemed much lower for whatever reasons. Only found 2 tables with Cracker Jacks, tons of 1960s stuff. Up here Chicago and Cleveland is our only action. I was thinking of starting to venture to Pittsburgh or Philly.

Which Cleveland action do you speak of? I'm way out of the loop, but aside from the one big April show, what else is usually in this area?

That was about it and the National. 1-2 shows/year is rare for us. I havent been to a show in Michigan in years.

[Pat R]

Thank you Andy H. (Cobbspikedme) for the E92 and Ted Z for the Schaefer
Lenox. (I am working on the T206 schaefer Washington back run) I spoke with Ted at
this years National, and about this card in emails and I get the impression
that he gets as much enjoyment from helping out fellow collectors as he
does collecting cards for himself.

I picked this up off Ebay from I believe a member here last month.Just came back from SGC.Im so glad there back to business as usual.

[25801wv]

Does anyone see any problem with the authenticity of this card?

[QUOTE=25801wv;1054096]Does anyone see any problem with the authenticity of this card?

Probably had some chemicals of some type spilled on it, by the looks of it. That would usually earn a card an AUT grade.

I think it looks ok. I'd take it if given to me. :)

[25801wv]

Thanks you both for your opinions. I have been a little gun shy on larger purchases since I bought a fake 52 Topps Mantle in a real PSA holder. Thank goodness for paypal/ebay buyer protection.

[Jlighter]

Some new ones

[z28jd]

Just picked up this beauty tonight, literally. Talk about fast deals, just worked out a trade for this card about two hours ago in the BST and here I am scanning it

[atx840]

What a great month so far. Some cards I've never seen before.

Nice Lenox back Pat, that's a big one to check off.

[rainier2004]

Finally, they came!

[CW]

^^^ Whoa! Very nice! All from one transaction? That Jackson is clean!

[Mikehealer]

Nice Cracker Jacks, Steven. Gotta like that Jackson.

[25801wv]

Finally, they came!

Wow I love that Jackson.

Thanks everyone. A single transaction and now I need to make several to help get outta the hole.

Not pre-war but love this card

[margoaepi]

So I may be cheating a bit as some of these are from October, but haven't shown them yet.

[btkpath]

Wow Steve,

You must have been pretty lucky to get all of those CJ's in one fell swoop. Great looking Jackson, but also a very nice looking Plank and Evers!!!

Congrats!

Nice card, Mike! As you know, those Kottons in VG or better are not easy!!!

Cheers,
Blair

[Mikehealer]

Thanks Blair, I agree. VG or better is higher grade for these. I like the thin types the best and finding one with nice corners is almost impossible.

[pcoz]

Mike, great card & Happy Thanksgiving!

[Leon]

Thanks Blair, I agree. VG or better is higher grade for these. I like the thin types the best and finding one with nice corners is almost impossible.

That might be the best looking type 3 (I call them that) that I have ever seen. That is very high grade for those types. For the longest time the SCD had them incorrect in how they described them but I think they have it right now.

[Mikehealer]

Thanks Pete and Leon.

Thank You, GOB, Jeff and Triple Play Vintage:

Thanks RC for the Pinketon PC.

I had owned one previously then sold it prior to getting a T5. It makes a nice companion piece to my T5 Pinkerton Cabinet and Stein PC.

Nice Trio

[joeadcock]

From recent auction:

Love the description:"..a big fellow..".
Wonder who was in charge of making up the descriptions. Was it someone who actually knew and watched baseball? Or simply had stats and made it up from there based on player image, height, demographics.

[HRBAKER]

6', 195 - a "big fellow." My how times have changed.

[bbcard1]

Went by the Moeller Show on Friday. One of my best days of the year...my son and I eat junk and shop for baseball cards. Did some business with with my friend Dave at Baggers, who I highly recommend. Made a few pickups...a couple of upgrades to get the Monster in a little better shape. Also found one of those purple stamped numbers ISpikedCobb collects, which I'll pass along to him if he wants it or hang on to it if he doesn't. I also got a chance to pick up two AB beaters for $20 which I just couldn't pass. Had a great time...my son who is now 18, and I have been going to the show since he was 7.

[packs]

Not a card but I thought you guys might like this, especially with Veterans Day just passing. I picked up this photo of The Babe last night. I love it. He's signing bats while in the military for other soldiers stationed around the country. The tags on the bats have the names of different bases on them.

The best part about the photo though is that it was taken on July 22, 1926. Exactly 59 years to the day before I was born.

Ed, I sent a link to one of those cards on ebay, to someone who said they were looking for them for a friend. If that friend is you, I'll send future notes to you instead.

Not all of the below items are from November but wanted to share anyway. Thanks Leon for the Scrapps and Churchman's Ruth!

The other items are as follows:

1) 1860 NY Illustrated News of the Grand Baseball Match for the Championship between the Excelsior and Atlantic Clubs! (great article along with it)
2) American Theater Playbill for "Runaway Colt" starring Cap Anson
3) 1888 Hastings lithograph of the Boston Baseball Club (before and after restoration)

[25801wv]

My favorite card of all-time (well my favorite card of all-time that I would ever be able to afford without the help of the Powerball).
(I'm already looking to upgrade it to a slightly better PSA 1 condition)
