Thank you to whoever, years ago, ripped the edge of this M110 so I could be able to afford it today. Been wanting one of these for a long, long time!

[freakhappy]

Great pull, Dave! The image looks good and I love the back as well...congrats!

[yanksfan09]

Really sweet Wagner there! This one arrived this morning as well. Has a tear with some tape but it didn't break the bank, I'm really liking this card....

[fkm_bky]

Five knocked down in the last few weeks. All through the BST. Thanks guys!

Clarke & Joss Portraits - no scans yet.

Nice, Dave. I am fairly sure I have a magazine article from that period, with a copy of the original photo for this card. If so, I'll scan and post here.

[terjung]

Sweet M110 Wagner!

Love that Polo pass too, Adam.

[sycks22]

Johnnie wants in.

Thanks Richard!

[Jason]

He does bear an uncanny resemblance.

[wazoo]

A big thanks to my good friend Matthew for trading with me. I really wanted to add a Frank Chance in a 4 to my collection. It fits perfectly. Thank you once again. :)

[atx840]

Sweet card Waz.

[wazoo]

Thank you Chris. Hope all is well with you!

[chaddurbin]

that cobb is a BLAZER! (old school term for 'nicer than the grade')

hate to see that one leave the country.

[HRBAKER]

Yes Quan, I can't see the back but that Cobb looks to be another example of how SGC goes much easier on tobacco cards than PSA. j/k :p
That's a gorgeous card, one of my favorites that I do not have. Congrats on the pick up in Canada.

Very nice Scott! Sorry I bid you up as much as I did. That would have been a very nice upgrade from my current one (at about the same cost)!! I figured it would either be you or one of the Jeff's that took me down.

Very, VERY nice S Covaleski "rookie".

[Bicem]

[Jantz]

Nice pick-ups Everyone!

This T206 found a permanent home. :)

[T206Collector]

up to 55 EPDG with these beauties. Thanks to Steve for the trade for the Lord

We used to call those "rat chews." I had some in a signed Marquard years ago.

Nice John. When I saw that in the auction I immediately thought of the look-alike Horner Composite on my wall.

Tyler - Great card of Duffy and I think the Mayo's are a beatiful set ! Sort of underated if you ask me...

[bcbgcbrcb]

Great pick-up on the Eastern League composite, John.

[ullmandds]

beautiful composito John!

Awesome display piece! Congrats!

[t206hound]

Received my Sterling winnings today (damn fast!). Up to 332 on the main set in SGC 40.

[sycks22]

Pretty happy about this Matty.

[DeanH3]

Got a call today from Wayne at Shoebox to let me know Mr. Wagner is on his way to his new home. As you all know, Wayne is top notch. Thanks Wayne!!

And...nice Matty Pete!

http://i101.photobucket.com/albums/m52/DHack3/BB%20Cards/E101WagnerSGC3.jpg

[jthorst75]

Pretty happy about this Matty.

You should be very happy with it Pete; super nice for the low grade!

[Jlighter]

nice cards Jake.

Thanks for the Clarke.

That composite is o.k., I mean if your into that sort of thing.:)

[Pythonfactory]

Beautiful cards everyone.

Very happy with this card from LOTG auctions because:

1) It is my first E98
2) It has my favorite E98 background - I'm a sucker for the bright colors on old cards
3) Walsh is laughing on it - cards that have players smiling/laughing make me smile too
4) It is from the Rudy Strejc collection - a little extra history attached to a card never hurt anyone

[ghooper33]

Hello all - normally I lurk but I am very excited to add this guy to my T205 set! I had been looking for a while for one with decent centering.

http://i812.photobucket.com/albums/zz49/ghooper33/AddieJossFront_zps5fb20457.jpg

[wonkaticket]

Thanks Jake...LOL...it took me about 2mins to figure out what you were talking about on the Clarke...that is my Clarke didn't even notice. Enjoy and thank you.

Cheers,

John

P.S. Very nice looking Joss.

[CW]

Nice duo of T205s, Guy, and sweet framed piece, John!

Hell, this whole thread is killer. Great stuff, all!

[wonkaticket]

One more from last night.

[big80s]

I lost out on a handful of m116's, but managed to reel this guy in for a price that I felt was fair...

http://packgeek.files.wordpress.com/2013/02/t205_matty_1.jpeg

[wonkaticket]

Great Matty!

[big80s]

Great Matty!

Thanks, John. I've been enjoying yours all day!

[CW]

^^^ it's always nice to see cards so old look so good. Sharp!

Thanks again to Al and Love of the Game auctions!

What a month Chuck!!!

[itjclarke]

My first Japanese card.. quite a jump for me, but a perk of being a "Wandering Drifter". The seller was great and even included a book on Japanese baseball cards/history with the card. A new collecting interest is born :D

[DerekMichael]

This is seriously too cool.

[conor912]

I've had had to cut myself off for this month (January over-indulgence), but I got this one in just under the wire on the 31st and it arrived today. I love these things. The illustrations are great and the advice is sound...."Never slide headfirst. Too much chance of you getting hurt and your team losing a valuable man."

[itjclarke]

This is seriously too cool.

Thanks. There were a couple of these Oh rookies listed on eBay recently, but as I learned maybe only about 50 or so in existance. Both went unsold. I contacted the sellers, agreed on a deal with one of them, and in the meantime learned a lot about Japanese cards through email back and forth with both of them. Couldn't be happier with the card, and with the pleasent exchanges that came with it.

[Iwantmorecards77]

Picked up at a reasonable price from D&A. Turned out to be a Factory 649. Nothing major, but a little cool.

[CW]

What a month Chuck!!!

Yes, indeed. My checkbook is saying the same thing. :)

Thanks, man!

[Brian Van Horn]

I actually like it better this way:

[DixieBaseball]

Thanks to Joe's Auctions - I have been wanting this card for some time.

[Leon]

Finally an E104-III w/Nadja back...and for less than my high snipe..Should be in the mail soon...

[mrvster]

Great Pieces everyone! Absolutely OUTSTANDING!
Erick, Waz, Wonka, Jake, jason, Chuck, and all the rest....wow!:eek:

[big80s]

Finally an E104-III w/Nadja back...and for $300 less than my high snipe..Should be in the mail soon...

That's a cool card, Leon! I know you'd mentioned you were looking for one. Congrats on crossing another off the list.

[tlwise12]

I have been fortunate enough to pick up a few n172s recently. I'm trying to sell most (see BST), but here is the best one I picked up...

Travis

[Runscott]

If you have it, I would love to see it.


I found the pic I was thinking of - sorry, not the same one.

BTW ... Very nice Nadja Leon!

[markf31]

Someone was a little hungry it looks like.
I love this addition to my HOF collection.
Only graded example at any level, as according to my research this same card accounts for the single Auth grade from both SGC and PSA. Maybe someone was hoping for a 1 on a crossover?

[mybuddyinc]

Jason,

I like that T210-4 Schafer ---- with his sweeter only on one arm, and over the shoulder, and his glove tucked under his arm --------- not your everyday pose :)


But that makes T210's FUN

[sycks22]

Christopher and Ed wanted to say hi

[Jlighter]

Christopher and Ed wanted to say hi

Woah, both awesome.:eek:

[atx840]

Sweet W600!

[jthorst75]

Just showed up today. Rounds off my other T206s.

[tlwise12]

After seeing a B&W e98 for sale, I was lucky enough to find one! Thanks Jimi!

[mattsey9]

My new favorite card, and my first Zeenut, Kid Durbin from the 1912 issue. What makes him so special? He was a bit player for the 1907 & 1908 World Series champion Chicago Cubs! It arrived earlier this month through a Net54 transaction.

http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n282/mattsey9/Baseball%20cards/1912ZeenutDurbin001.jpg


A couple of Ebay specials that I just got back from SGC today. My first T205 card, and a 1934 Goudey. Great way for a bottom feeder like me to break into the Gold Borders, and for about $10.00!

Ha! I was trying to figure out what that was under his arm. I recognized the glove, but I thought he was holding something else under his arm, as well. I didn't even notice the different shirt sleeve colors. :)

[g_vezina_c55]

My February pick up,
In the mail, i will receive it tomorow !
A new friend for my Plank

http://i10.servimg.com/u/f10/11/52/54/64/magie10.jpg

[ullmandds]

nice to see...you got your magie!

[g_vezina_c55]

nice to see...you got your magie!

Yep thanks !
10 month of negociation for this card.
My first idea was to buy a SGC Magie. I will perhaps submit that card to SGC for a re-slab...

[piedmont150]

On its way from a board member.. A beauty for the grade!!

[t206blogcom]

Nelson - Nice Magie, congrats!

Doug - Nice Marquard - heck of a 20.

[the-illini]

Another M101-6 for me - thanks Peter!!!

[Brian Van Horn]

Thank You, Diane:

[Jason]

New addition.

[Big Six]

I'm so happy...and broke. If I need to take a little spending sabbatical, well, it is well worth it. With Cracker Jack and this off my list, I'm going to take a breather before going after a T205 one-ear, a T206 Pink and one of the bread cards. Until then...I'm going to just enjoy this one! Thanks Craig...

[Kenny Cole]

Mr. Plank and Mr. Wood

[Hot Springs Bathers]

After quite some time on Net54 this is my first attempt at an attachment, sure hope it works! I found these two weeks ago, all five have been glued in an album. So far I have been afraid to try any soaking or other attempt to remove the paper from the album. If this is too large or too small I apologize in advance!86949

[cozmokramer]

Just arrived today, pretty excited about it.

Featured here - http://www.t206museum.com/page/periodical_81.html

Tax stamp is 1909. Factory 240, 1st District of PA. I believe that factory was known for producing T205s or T207s, but after the 1909 date I'm sure.

Still a sweet piece of history for me to own.

http://www.247hq.com/T206PACK.JPG

[Tim Kindler]

Kenny,
I love that Smokey Joe Wood!
Correct me if I'm wrong, anyone, but isn't that a really tough M116 to get?

[Kenny Cole]

Thanks Tim. I've been after one of these for quite some time.

[Smanzari]

Super-psyched about this pickup, finally feel like I have something that deserves posting in this section!

Card is not in-hand just yet, but I couldn't wait!

[Craig M]

I know it's not a big deal but I just received in the mail today, the Boston Herald from April 5, 1913 with Plank, Chief Bender and Jack Coombs on the front page of the sports section. I'm going to get it nicely framed and put it in my office here at home.

[wazoo]

That's a great newspaper article!

Just won these and extremely happy with the prices!

Another M101-6 for me - thanks Peter!!!

Sure Chris. Glad you're happy.

And for me, I was finally able to acquire Jesse Burkett for my HOF collection. It's been on my list for years and years. Feels really good cross him off. CozmoKramer - congrats on owning that pack. really a cool item.

[bcbgcbrcb]

Nice pick-up, Peter. I was thinking of buying one in very similar condition from 707 Sportscards, was that it?

[WillowGrove]

Peter, he's listed as a 'manager', so I don't think Keith Olberman would allow it to count for your HOF collection. Sorry!

[markf31]

Just arrived today.
2 more to add to my HOF collection.
A tough Boston Store and....wait for it...my first T206 (very clean EPDG back).
I think the Kelley presents very well, despite the paper loss on the front and couldn't beat the price.

Packs,
I would say your cabinet is circa 1880.

[cozmokramer]

Pete,

Thanks for the words. I've never been a pack guy before and having this creates a level of excitement I have not felt from acquiring any of the cards I've bought over the past few years.

Now I need another one.


Sure Chris. Glad you're happy.

What a "Beauty" Chris! Congrats :)

[Joe_G.]

Congrats Rhett, I also received mine today. I’m extremely happy to add McGlone to my collection. This is the only double player Detroit card in the set and this copy is the first example I've seen in over ten years of searching. I would have been happy to obtain it in any condition, but this one is a beauty with jumbo borders and an image that looks better than the attachment.

[Kenny Cole]

Joe,

That is a gorgeous card. Congratulations on picking it up. Best,

Kenny

I might have been the underbidder on the blue back Crofts. I have that one in an SGC60 with a red back.....would have gone nice together but oh well, glad it went to a board member. Nice cards!!

That is a stunner. I eyeballed it for longer than I should have ..... good pick-up!
One of my favorites of the month so far.

[rainier2004]

I got 5 CJs this past week. The first 4 from member btkpath, all 1914s with 3 needed cards getting my count to 176/180 (thanks Barry). The Delahanty is an upgrade along with the Walsh. I sure hope Mr Rickey is on his way soon :D

[piedmont150]

Just picked up this beauty off of Ebay. Great card for the grade and a miscut back to boot..

Nice score Rhett!

[smtjoy]

Super Happy with the LOTG pickups, also really impressed with them going the extra mile in wrapping and securing the cards for shipping. They can in a box with peanuts, wrapped in the middle with large bubble wrap, inside that each card had it own small bubble wrap pouch, the card was inside a team back with a nice printed label with the details of the auction and card! Wow really enjoy all the nice extras!

[HOF Auto Rookies]

How can you go wrong with a Mickey Mantle autographed rookie card! This started off the New Year with a bang.

[wazoo]

Oh my!!!!!!! What a beautiful card :) congrats!

[CW]

Jeff -- very nice Lajoie!

Steven -- 176/180... nice! Alllllllmosssssstttt there!

HOF -- just awesome. Not sure how you're going to top that one this year. Love how it's got the middle name Charles, too (I'm partial to that name, btw).

I don't think I will, unless a signed T206 Cobb or signed Ruth Goudey were to stumble into my collection :). I love how it's his full name, I've never seen that on a card before if Mantle. Btw, it's a great middle name :), was my grandpas name, so I'm partial as well lol

[Runscott]

Nice card. I know that yours is super-rare, but have you ever seen a '50s Mantle card signed with his signature from that period?

You just made me think about my 'dream card' - a T206 green portrait Cobb, inscribed 'To Scott, Ty Cobb - good luck to the Houston Astros, the AL's newest team'

okay, forget that last part.

I think I have seen one, where his signature was like his facsimile signature on his '52 Bowman I believe where it is a more upright signature. I've seen a decent amount of baseballs with a rookie sig.

That would be a sweet card!

I've got his minor league era sig on a ball from 1950 and it is almost exactly like the facsimile from his old cards.. wish I had a pic or scan of it to post. Definitely does not have that loopy M that he developed over the years. On the topic of dream cards and '51 Bowman era rookie centerfielders, I'd love to have a signed Mays rookie.. and it would be really cool if it were a period sig since his autograph got pretty silly with age.. those "4"s instead of W and M.

Awesome Mantle BTW, congrats!

Wow, that's a hell of a ball! I love his minor league/rookie era sig a lot more! Yeah Mays has an ugly sig now, my signed '51 Mays looks decent for his sig now, but an era signed one would be amazing! The only era signed one I have is my '55 Killebrew and maybe a '60's Aaron on his rookie.

And thank you!

Thanks, it's been pretty thoroughly toned by the years and oily hands but for sheer sentimentality and connection to my dad, it is the most important possession I have. One of those family heirlooms that had better stay in my family until all Clarke's have vanished from this earth! I don't have kids yet, so don't have anyone/anywhere besides here to preach that yet.

Picked up this 1912 White Sox postcard on ebay recently. I've seen the large pictorial version of this postcard numerous times but not the regular sized one.

Picked up these three Shoulderless Players cards. Pretty obscure set. The George Kelly was previously unknown until this one.

Here is the list of players shown on Old Card Board:

(1) Rogers Hornsby Cardinals
(2) Walter Maranville Pirates
(3) A. Pennock (Herb) Yankees
(4) E.A. Rommel Athletics
(5) Babe Ruth Yankees
(6) George Sisler Browns
(7) K. R. Williams Browns
(8) Ross Young (actually Youngs) Giants

[Exhibitman]

Nice, Jimi! If you'e gonna get a 1st example from a set might as well be a HOFer.

I've long liked this PC, so I was happy to pick it up:

Picked up this Baseball die cut of Zach Wheat. I have been collecting Wheat for about 30 years and this is the first one I have had a chance to buy. I know they arent much to look at but in my opinion they are very hard to obtain. Have seen a few team sets at different Nationals but never saw a Wheat for sale or I would have bought it. Took SCD for about 20 years and didnt see any there either. Has anyone else had trouble getting one of a player they were looking for? Thanks.

[doug.goodman]

I have been collecting the M113 & M114 supplements for many years, and as of today have accumulated 765 different ones, but up until last month, I had never seen an example of a Mickey Mantle.

In the most recent Henry Yee auction, he had some printing plates matched with examples of their supplements, but his Mantle printing plate did not come with a supplement, so I took this as proof that they exist, but also proof that they are hard to come by.

So, when one popped up on ebay at the end of January, with that classic shot of him batting righty, I was very happy to make it my own, even if his name is spelled wrong at the bottom.

Imagine my surprise when less than two weeks later, a second Mantle appeared on ebay, this one the classic lefty batting pose, with the added bonus of his original #6 visible. I also was happy to give it a new home.

Doug

[eliminator]

Picked up this 1961 original wire photo of Mickey Mantle. I really enjoy the press photos as they are pretty unique and the action shots are incredible. (I think I should have put this in the memorabilia section-my bad!)

This is a beautiful pic of Mantle chasing Babe Ruth's home run record during the 1961 season. I am going to get it graded and display it next to my Mantle Hartland Statue.

I also picked up the E101 Bescher in the Sterling Auction. It has a bad back but the front has great presentation.

cozmokramer - INCREDIBLE & INSANE... those are the only two words I can think of to describe this.

I concur -Such unusual behavior, it requires further study. ;) I would like to see anyone else that owns a Corcoran to post their Corcoran! We need to start a dual thread : "Please post your Corcoran"

[z28jd]

INCREDIBLE & INSANE... those are the only two words I can think of to describe this.

Arduous would be a good word. He isn't the easiest card to find. I got the first one 19 years ago, but have only seen two in the last two years and the previous last one was July 2011

[Brian Van Horn]

I thought the nine Bottomleys I had from the 1933 Goudeys were excessive :D.

[Matthew H]

100 Corcorans?! That might be more ambitious than going for the set :)

[z28jd]

100 Corcorans?! That might be more ambitious than going for the set :)

I would say there aren't 100 out there, so that isn't a realistic goal. I know of about 10 more in collections. At most I've seen 40 over the last 19 years for sale/auction and two of those are in the collections I just mentioned. I say at most because I'm not sure the other 2-3 aren't ones that were resold over that time

[Matthew H]

I agree, I think only the most common OJs break the 100 mark.

Now that's what a 1 is supposed to look like!! Almost seems like there's more disparity in the 1-2 range than there is in 9-10

To add: I wonder if Francis just had a bad day or two in the teens, or if it was a 100+ years of gradual cumulative abuse. Congrats on the pick up though!

[Joe_G.]

Extremely pleased with February thus far, first McGlone, now a nice Pete Conway. This particular pose was only issued in 1888 which makes it pretty tough. Thank you Toby!

[Bestdj777]

You guys are funny. I rarely pick up pre-war cards but thought it was amazing what this card had gone through over the years. Yet, it was clearly cherished by someone, or I don't think it would still be around 100+ years later.

Thanks to the Net54 board member that sold me this. It has got a great home now, and will likely stay in my shoebox for years to come.

Cards I only have one each of now. Thanks to Mark M for helping me knock off a Dots Miller card I've tried to get for about two years

John, nice pick up, I have always thought that was a bit of an under-rated Dots Miller card due to the fact that he passed away that same year (In September if I remember correctly), he joins a few others in the Zeenut set pictured in the year that they met their untimely ends.

Included in that group is the 1912 posthumous batting champion Heinie Heitmuller who contracted a fever and passed away near the end of 1912...
http://www.starsofthediamond.com/12hrkheitmuller.JPG

Also included in this unfortunate club is Laverne "Larry" Chappell who contracted the Spanish Flu during the epidemic of 1918 and passed away that same year...

Thanks Rhett. I'm not sure if you know, but I have some relatives in common with Dots, so they were really interested in seeing his last card. None of them had seen that image before, so I was real happy to finally get it.

That Tolstoi was purchased by me a few years ago (with 2 others) for a few $$. All had the same 'look'. Couldn't stand it - even in my beater set. Upgraded all 3 and gave the Pfeffer to Rob for his Tolstoi project. He had it graded. Glad it has a new home. Don't get too close....:D

[Pythonfactory]

I created a post a while ago about what Babe Ruth's are affordable. Thanks to all who provided their input. After much consideration, I decided to get the 1928 Shonen Kulubu Postcard since it is so unique and I like the image on it.

[CW]

There's no denying the coolness factor of that image. Nice pickup!

Those '14 CJ's are also lookin' good, Barry.
