Here's to December....hope it's a great month for all!

This one's an upgrade for me (from a PSA 5):

[h2oya311]

Gadzooks!! Nice way to start off December!

[Wildfireschulte]

So Mark, did you stumble on that Kelly at the midnight card show on December 1st? Did the UPS delivery guy show up at 1 am?

[joeadcock]

Mark

Beautiful card.

[GregMitch34]

Finally arrived yesterday from tardy Heritage. This is truly a 1 of 1: single cards for each player in 104-card set for very first baseball card game, 1904, were made for the prototype--and the game never produced. And they only did the NL before quitting. I guess they were on sheets and then hand cut.

Cool card and story. You realize it's now your life's duty to find the other 103 and reunite them, right? :)

[MVSNYC]

Some new miscuts to go with my others...

Thanks Dan, Mike, Steve & Leon.

[atx840]

Nice Mike...not to many triple backs out there.

[tbob]

Off the Bay tonight.

[kamikidEFFL]

Nice scores off the bay tonight

[mrvster]

Wow~! I was eyeing that 3 backer from Dan....Holy Smokes!:eek:

your miscut backs are awesome and very rare......collectors don't realize how really rare they are....:)

seldom, if ever, come up at auction;)

[h2oya311]

Nice Mike...not to many triple backs out there.

And to think that two of those backs had Wagner fronts, wow! And uncatalogued on the 350 series! Pick-up of the year! LOL!

[MVSNYC]

Actually the 150 split is a Bowerman! (kidding).

Thanks Guys.

[LKeeler]

An upgrade for my Dockman set. I had the Seigle in a PSA 4, but when this 6 came up I couldn't pass.

[scooter729]

I grabbed one of the E96 cards last night as well - there were some nice ones available.

I'll take my 2's any day of the week which look like this - downgraded due to the touch of paper loss on the back (in Rossman's name)...

[JasonL]

It's been some time since I bought vintage, but with my T207 tuffie in November, and now my key card for the T202 Cubs team set here in Dec (Thanks Joe!), I need to once again be careful of diving into the deep end! :)
I seriously need to update my website...
This one was love at first sight.

Congrats Jason, that's as a sweet a 2.5 as there is! I'm pretty sure I was the underbidder when it was up for auction on LOTG a few weeks back.

[joeadcock]

Love that Brown pose.

Scott- I like the Brown too, congrats. Had I not already had one I would have been busy bidding on it :)
If you factor out the cost to have the cards graded by SGC, the 20s and 30s were selling for about $20-35 each, not too shabby for cards with decent eye appeal.

[wazoo]

First southern leaguer in over a year or so!

[wazoo]

Back :)

[Theo_450]

Nice pick-ups!

[the 'stache]

Jason, that's a hot Tinker, Evers and Chance T202. Love at first site, indeed! Sensational eye appeal.

Wazoo, nice Hooker! :p

Great start to December, everybody. I will be living vicariously through you all this month, as I'm looking to get my knee scoped. So please, keep it up!

[kamikidEFFL]

Have a few items incoming will post when they come in.

[Mikehealer]

I wish I knew what these really are....

My latest Keeler pickup to add to my collection. I have been eye balling the Throwing variety of this issue for literally years, and finally landed one!

[GregMitch34]

Love the yellow bat.

And though not prewar, Rob D. forced this cool card on me:

<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/calvindog/11189926806" title="1954 Johnston Cookies Henry Aaron #5 by calvindog65, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3676/11189926806_07b0754e21_o.jpg" width="460" height="849" alt="1954 Johnston Cookies Henry Aaron #5"></a>

[Rob D.]

I look forward to seeing the Aaron in an upcoming Probstein auction. I will be bidding (and retracting) early and often.

[smokelessjoe]

Thanks to some fellow collectors I have learned a bit about the postcard pictured below.

Translation on the front reads:

USS Cleveland vs. Waseda University Big Baseball Match Commemoration (Victory Waseda)

"The 2 cancellation dates are from the reign of Emperor Meiji (Hirohito's grandfather). The date on the postmark in the middle of the card is
October 7, 1908 - the 41st year of the reign of Meiji. The postmark on the stamp is October 4th, so 2 different post offices cancelled the card. The addressee was in Tokyo."

Also, I can zoom in and read USS Cleveland on the Jersey of the player standing in the middle of the field. The player getting tagged I can read "eda" on the jersey.

That is one sweet card!

I'm waiting to hear back from a potential buyer on some. If he passes, I'll let you know. :)

And got this at great price, to boot.

I've been looking for this card for quite awhile. Thank you SCOTB.

[Brian Van Horn]

[GregMitch34]

Just a common--but in my view, one of the very best T3 (or any issue) image and color, and that's what counts for me, usually.

Greg, I agree...that is a beauty of a T3! Congrats on the pick up :)

[VoodooChild]

Here's my latest T206's addition. I"m still not 100% sure about how I want to build my set. I'll never be able to afford those crazy rare backs, but I want some diversity. So, I plan on picking up Tolstoi's, EPDG's and AB's (although I don't have an AB yet) when I can:

[quinnsryche]

My newest acquisition from board member clydewally. Always wanted this one, what a 'stache!

t206 is one great set but pretty much near impossible to complete haha thanks a lot Honus. But still a fun set so many different backs and fronts green red portraits and what not. Best of luck and great looking card

now that's a 'stache!! Move aside Mr. Fingers!

[itjclarke]

Freed some funds this past month+ and put it right into cards (much more fun than an IRA contribution right??). Most were purchased in Nov, but many of these met me at home last night when I returned from a couple weeks on the road.

A pair of BST pick ups,
Thank you Richard for my first Big Ed:D, and thank you Peter for this nice, and now raw Cy (Sov back):D

The Weaver and Ott from LOTG (couldn't be happier with auction and quick shipment)

And from Ebay- R312 Joe D, finally got a Moe Berg, and E220 Collins

now that's a 'stache!! Move aside Mr. Fingers! BTW.... I think Mr Tinker's hair part can now move to the back seat as well.

[freakhappy]

Beautiful pickups, Ian...love the Weaver and "Bid Ed", lol. You weren't messing about that part...that's brutal!

You should go away more often if you rake these type of cards as a result of it ;)

[the 'stache]

Beautiful cards, Ian. Congratulations! I especially like the DiMaggio.

You're going to make me want to PC Cocky Collins. I just know it. :D

[djrhanover]

This completes my run of T206 Cobbs. Thanks to Erick Summers on the BST.

[itjclarke]

Thanks guys

Mike- I only wish going away equaled cards! given I normally travel 50% or more during the year. I'm pretty fired up on the Weaver, low grade or not, it was a must have for this SFer. I really like the Big Ed too and it's probably my big pick up of the year, along with my Mays (another board purchase).

Bill- I really like that Joe D image too, so classic. That pick up was definitely in large part fueled by a recent R312 thread on the board. On the opposite end, I'm falling in love with those teens/20's B&W cards. Until maybe a year or two ago, I'd never considered them, but they've really really grown on me and are a nice counter balance to all those great colors in other sets.

[rainier2004]

Ian...nice month to say the least.

This isn't a card but my home made poster of all 180 of my CJs...

[bcbgcbrcb]

Very nice group of pick-ups, Ian.

[h2oya311]

Steven- that's awesome! The beauty of collecting a set w/ consistent sizes!! And all in their pure cardboard form!!

I'll be hard pressed to come up with a pretty exhibit for my HOF rookie collection that will be ever-growing and ever-morphing!

[g_vezina_c55]

wow steven awsome !

[4815162342]

Very nice poster Steven - what a great way to celebrate finishing that set!

Do you have one of the original Cracker Jack boxes or did you just get that picture from the internet?

[joeadcock]

wow steven awsome !

Agreed

[rainier2004]

Very nice poster Steven - what a great way to celebrate finishing that set!

Do you have one of the original Cracker Jack boxes or did you just get that picture from the internet?

Thanks guys. I pulled it from the internet and stuck it in there to fill the extra space of 2 cards are kept the integrity of the dimensions pretty close. I'd love to find an original box!

[triwak]

Just received from the last Hake's. Portion of a 1935 Negro League Broadside, of the Chicago American Giants. Features HOFers Willie Wells, Bill Foster, Mule Suttles, and Turkey Stearnes. Normally, I don't collect anything that has been cut-out from a larger piece, but made an exception here. It's about the size of a cabinet or a large postcard. Pretty pleased!

[Luke]

Super excited to get my favorite E103. The color and overall eye appeal of this card is insane. The scan doesn't do it justice. I'm glad it has the spot of paper loss or it would've been way out of my budget.

[kid4hof03]

I am fairly new to the boards and while I have collected baseball cards and memorabilia most of my life I have just recently started to enter into the pre-war arena, thought I would add a couple of my latest pick ups

Luke, great looking E103! I bid on it as well. I had to do a double take to find the paper loss. Excellent eye appeal.

Ian...nice month to say the least.

This isn't a card but my home made poster of all 180 of my CJs...

Wow! That's awesome looking Steve. Will you keep them like that long term?

Thanks Luke! I've been impressed with a number of your recent pickups as well. Sweet collection.

Abe - nice Exhibits...and great scanner!

And as we know, the guy could really club them.

Always happy to add another Gibson to my collection.

This one came from the most recent Collectible Classics auction. This was my first time bidding with them, and I have to say that I was quite happy with their customer service, their speed of shipping and how well protected everything was in the package.

Great Gibson pickup, I have never seen that image before.

Thanks Abe, I'm pretty happy to get it. The image on this supplement goes nicely with a 1910 Coca-Cola ad I picked up earlier this year (from a board member) that features Gibson with this same image. This same scene (with Bugs Raymond removed) can be found on a notebook cover that I'd love to pick up sometime.

Nice team change card of Brooklyn outdoor shot and Des Moines card to boot. Glad you are still growing the collection (noticed you selling a few).

[doug.goodman]

Nice month for me so far. I added 11 m114s to my collection, putting me at 847 m113s and m114s, but my favorite new item is this $10 ebay purchase, an April 1912 Police Gazette centerfold of a play at the plate (23 X 16) :

Nice team change card of Brooklyn outdoor shot and Des Moines card to boot. Glad you are still growing the collection (noticed you selling a few).

I actually have some dupes I bought at times when I thought they were cheap... But now I think certain OJs go cheap because everyone already has them!

I liked Collins and George. But I found sliding poses and don't need double players... I also have an extra Fred Mann not listed... Most of my doubles are common; and I've been 'low key' trying to get rid of then for a while now. I'm beginning to think they'll be loitering in my binder for quite some time. :)

I can't quit I'm compleatly psychology addicted, and I don't plan on seeking help. :)

Got in a few packages today. I will be holding off for a few weeks maybe until after the holidays until more purchasing comes in. Thanks for looking guys

I'd mentioned on the 2014 collecting goals topic that this Al Simmons card was one of the ones I'd hoped to acquire. Well, I just received this in the mail yesterday afternoon because of the kindness of one of our forum members. Thank you, Kenny, for your incredible generosity. :)

I won't be buying anything more until the end of January, but I got the last card I purchased in the mail today. It's not a prewar card, but it's part of the Roberto Clemente master set I'm working on. It's a real beauty! I'll be posting it on the post war pickup thread.

Very cool one-off cabinet for Boston Beaneater catcher Tom Gunning, probably 1884-1886.

Beautiful Miller. Great pose, great colors.

T212's are making me drool in general

[rainier2004]

Great cards and happy holidays to all.

I still love looking at that e102 Cobb!!!

Heres mine, no idea why it graded this way, crease free with a clean back...poorly cut caster though.

[itjclarke]

Nice Kashin Steve! I similarly recently got one in 3.5 and like you have NO idea why it graded that. Aside from a couple light corner dings (EX worthy), there are no wrinkles, stains, markings, etc. I'm not sweating it, the card looks great and the number probably got me a better deal.:D

[GregMitch34]

On those Kashins--I got a "3" for Gehrig this year that I was sure was a 4 or 5--sent it to SGC and they pointed to a VERY light crease--on the back! Still seemed worthy of a 4. So maybe you need to get out those microscopes...

This arrived today...thanks Chris.

Submitted 65 cards, only added three to the collection... had a few 30 and 35 I contemplated keeping, but decided to hold firm:

I just got a sub back from SGC, and while I have had a few of these cards for many years, I still count them as new since they are all dressed up in black :D

This postcard arrived today featuring the 1915 Sanford, Maine Team, the 1915 Champions of Maine and New Hampshire. Anyone guess who the famous ballplayer is in the front row left wearing the nice sweater? His hometown was Sanford, Maine which is about 30 minutes west of where I live.

Thanks! My wife told me that she didn't remember which one I showed her when I originally found it on eBay. So when she decided to buy it, there was a SGC 20 also on eBay that was stained and rounded corners that was $15 more. I am glad she went with this one. It is definitely a card worth looking past the grade. I have had very few cards that had a surface this well focused. I would buy all T206s in this grade if they looked this good and kept the price down.

[E93]

I was psyched to pick up these fat border upgrades from ML the other night.

Picked this one up on my big night on ebay a few days ago. It was already a favorite pose of mine and when I noticed the difference between it and my original copy I decided to grab it as well. The Obak sets are full of unusual oddities.

[Vintagecatcher]

Rhett,

It certainly is Freddy Parent sitting in the front row on the left. As you probably know he was born in Biddeford, Maine and lived and died in Sanford, Maine. I was surprised to see he lived to be 96 when he passed in 1972. He was also on the Red Sox 1st World Series team in 1903.

Here are the 4 1911 Obaks and the 2 1910 Obaks I picked up of eBay last week from one seller. My biggest night ever on eBay. The Jack Fournier 1910 Obak has a "Smoke Obak" back and the Hugh Smith has a "Always A Pleasure" back, which is my 4th back for his 1910 Obak.

Still need:

I'm getting close :)
Thanks geno! If/when I finish ill post a pic of them next to my t205 sovereign cubs set. Love the group pictures! :)

[quinnsryche]

Just got around to scanning these.
1. The Duffy from ebay. Sorely undergraded due to a speck of paper loss on the back and a small scuff by the sock. For what I paid, I'll take it!
2. The Nee from Joe's Vintage Auction last week. Paid on Wed., received on Sat. No buyers premium & $3 for postage. Now THAT'S how to run an auction! Also way undergraded IMO, again a tiny nick in the back. About as nice a centering for a minor leaguer as I've seen.
3. The Mitchell from David B Vintage. Just a pencil mark on the back for the low grade (no creases, nice corners). Just wanted a Zeenut type card. Cool old car in the background and a full front jersey view.

[brianp-beme]

Nice pickup on the Zeenut Mitchell...it is a cool, inexpensive alternative to the Waner Zeenut card that has the old Ford in the background.

First pickup of a new subset I'm working on.

[t206hound]

really wasn't planning on a sovereign (only one in my set), but this will do for now:

[bcbgcbrcb]

Great pick ups on the OJ Griffith & Welch. Those are very strong images for typically very weak exposures.

[kkkkandp]

Thanks to Jay Miller now I have 21 N172's. :)

Gorgeous Griffith, John!

That's the nicest Griffith I've ever seen! Probably nine out of ten Griffiths have faded images,and the tenth would usually be just acceptable... What an amazing card, I don't think we'll see another like it.

[freakhappy]

Great AB scan! Is there a significance of all of those players together or am I just missing something?

[atx840]

Thanks Mike, no significance really, just digging ABs lately. I picked them as most are the second known example/would be highest graded.

[the 'stache]

Great cards, everybody!!!

Jon, that Shoeless Joe is incredible.
Chris, those AB's are gorgeous! Talk about eye candy.

Sincerely, Clayton

P.S. Merry Christmas & happy New Year to all.

Clayton, what's up? Your wife has a great eye for 206's! One thing I've been impressed with today is the amount of wives that picked out great looking 206's or other cardboard for gifts...amazing! They must have a built in gene to help them or something ;)

A few of the tougher Type 2's from a seller in Louisiana.

[bbpostcards]

The Pacific National League was formerly the Pacific Northwest League. There's a great deal of history behind the name change and what happened next, more than space here allows. As the pass shows, in 1904 the league had dropped to four teams: the Boise Fruit Pickers, Spokane Indians, Butte Miners, and Salt Lake City Elders. If you have early Pacific Northwest baseball material to sell or trade, please contact me. Thanks.

[cockrellcollection]

I loved the centering, color and focus on the Brown, one of my favorite T206 portraits.

Also added a higher grade Kashin type card.

[T206Collector]

Pretty jazzed about this big fella. Strange you don't see more of these autographed...

I know I sound like a broken record, but that Griffith is amazing, what a nice example of a tougher HOFer. You have a nice start on an N172 HOF run.

3 much needed upgrades all in 1 trade! Thanks Pete!
The Rhoades Cycle is part of my Cleveland team set (25 cards with 21 different backs). Upgrading the Rhoades has been on my hit list for quite some time.
Also a nice '37 4-in-1 Feller RC blue tint. Been looking for one for quite some time!

Coigans have great portrait photos (mostly Horner) and are a great value in our space, imo. Nice pick up...

[itjclarke]

99.9% sure this is my last pick up of the year. Happy with it, though am hoping not to fully open a new can of worms with Exhibits/Premiums/PCs (that could be endless)... have enjoyed dabbling and expanding my interests a bit this year.

[aquarius31]

Picked up this neat woodcut from the 1876 Canadian Illustrated News. It shows a team portrait of the Tecumseh baseball club with nice write-up on the back. Looks like they defeated many of the American baseball clubs of the time with the exception of the Chicago White Stockings who beat them 16-6.

[h2oya311]

I'm late to the party, but that Griffith OJ is stunning!! Nice pick-up John. I didn't see that one in the original goldinauctions Cambridge Collection listing, but certainly Jay got a few gems in that lot!!
