T206 Gabby Street backrun

[Sean]

Hi guys. I've been working on this Street back run for about a year, and I want to show my progress thus far. I'm still missing the Red Hindu, Lenox and Piedmont 42 backs (I just missed out on a Pied 42 in the last REA auction, but someone with deep pockets really wanted that one :( ).

I am posting these scans as best I can. Sorry for the format, but I can't produce those nifty grids like Chris, Jaime and Wonka.


I know, I plan to crossover the Broadleaf 460 to SGC, I just haven't gotten around to it.

Thanks to Mike Sarno for the Drum. :):):)

Mike R. please post your back run in this thread when you return from vacation.

If anyone owns a Red Hindu, Lenox or Piedmont 42 and wishes to sell and /or trade, please contact me. I can offer you a similar back in trade if you require one for your own back run.

Cool stuff!!

[Luke]

Wow!

[cincyredlegs]

Nice job Sean. I am actually contemplating doing a back run as well with Dick Egan.

nice sean...i have grown to love runs...they epitomize what got me into the hobby in the first place...TYPE collecting!

[Sean]

Thanks Pete. I plan to be in St. Paul next July (2015). Maybe we can get together and compare runs. Bring your Millers. :D

[DixieBaseball]

Sean,
great run of Gabby's! I worked on the Gabby Portrait and Catching back run a few years back and stopped at the Drum... (Never got the broad leaf or red hindu among a few others...)
Congrats, J

[DerekMichael]

Wow, that is glorious Mr. Costello.

The Big Train's catcher!

[ZachS]

Awesome back run. I wanted to help you out a little so I put this together. No offense, but your scans weren't the greatest to work with.:p

Hi guys. I've been working on this Street back run for about a year

About a year??? Looks like 10+ years worth of progress to me. Very nice.

[Tobacco&Gum]

Congrats on the Cycle 460. First time I'm viewing this thread....great run!!

[Sean]

Vincent and David, thank you so much. I actually got the BL 460 about nine years ago, and when I got the Drum last June I decided to try for the entire run. :)

Hi Zach. Once again, thank you very much. :)

[teetwoohsix]

Wow! :eek: That is an insane back run Sean-congrats! Very impressive for sure-mind blowing! I wish you the best in getting those last three you are looking for, but even without those you have an amazing collection there. Thanks for sharing your progress-

Sincerely, Clayton

[atx840]

Congrats on the C460.

Would love to see more runs :D

[Sean]

Thanks Chris...and yes, lets see some more runs. :cool:

[slipk1068]

I need to add a couple more cards before my back run would be worthy of posting.

[Blunder19]

[atx840]

[wonkaticket]

Amazing stuff guys!

[freakhappy]

Sean, congrats on your progress so far. Did you ever finish your Merkle run?

Never get tired of seeing Jamie and Chris's back runs...sweet indeed!

[Sean]

Leon, Wonka and Jaime, thanks, and thank you for posting your runs Chris and Jaime.
By the way Jaime, I didn't realize that you got a blank back. Nice going. :)

[Sean]

Sean, congrats on your progress so far. Did you ever finish your Merkle run?

Never get tired of seeing Jamie and Chris's back runs...sweet indeed!

Thanks Mike.
No, I never finished Merkle. I'm missing a Red Cross Type-1.
And I recently found out that there is a Coupon Type-3, Factory 8 overprint Merkle as well, so now I'm missing two Merkles. :(

[HoggZilla]

This is really cool stuff! I love the runs - well, these kind anyway. Zach, great job putting them together for display.

I would post it every single day lest people forget how awesome it truly is...

[peterb69]

Back run threads are always my favorites.

[Harford20]

My Lajoie Throwing Run (although not as extensive as most of the others shown) is to my knowledge complete. Just recently purchased the Brown Hindu from a boardmember. (Thanks again).

Still waiting to see if someone finds a Sovereign 350 Lajoie Throwing some day.

Oops, in looking at the run, I realize I left out the SC 150/30 card, but have that as well. Dave

[Sean]

Dave, thanks for posting. Even if your run isn't quite as extensive, it's still fun to look at it. Good job. :)

[Sean]

I'm bumping my old thread because I got a few new cards (scans to follow shortly) and also to ask if anyone has a Lenox / Street Catching which they would be willing to trade or sell?

I also need a Hindu Red, Piedmont 42, and Red Cross, but I'm not holding my breath on those. :D

[atx840]

Great run Sean.

OMG!:eek:

two big runs!

[kamikidEFFL]

Impressive. I myself though about doing a run in the past but decided against it. Maybe down the line there may be one in my future.

Okay, here it is (with some help from Zach). I've added a brown/yellow scrap, thanks to Chris, and a slight ghost image (color shift) with a heads-up from Michael R. .

Still looking for that Lenox...:rolleyes:

[atx840]

Wow, Drum & BL460. Impressive Sean. You'll get that Lenox.

[CardboardCollector]

Unbelievable runs, guys. Thanks for sharing.

Another reason why I love this forum.

[mrvster]

like I said....so glad you got that STREET YELLOW BROWN! :eek: I was starting to feel guilty owning mine!

since there are only three yellow/brown sc 460 fact #30's Streets known to exist!!! you and I own one...one more left out there that we know of...

as you know, that front back/ combo doesn't exist! in order to have a complete run, and bring you run to a different level, you need the error back if the player was available on that scrap sheet! that card is the the "cherry on top":eek:

congrats my friend! I AM JEALOUS OF YOUR COLLECTION!:D;)


Plank Scrap, Tinker over print front sov, insane scrap, merkle run, street run, pirate cards WTF!:D:).....I'm experiencing collection ENVY:D

please leave me in your will!!lol.....along with Leon...:D

Leon doesn't mind leaving the Matty proof or the Mullaney "rosetta stone of scrap" to me if the time comes.....:D

OH wait! I was dreaming.....:D

[Jobu]

Great cards everyone - I never get tired of seeing back runs! I will keep my eyes open for the missing few.

[Sean]

Hi guys. Thanks for the kind words. And Johnny, before you get jealous consider this:

Most of my best cards were acquired through sheer luck.
That Plank scrap? I was the underbidder on three other Planks, and finally decided that I was going all in on the next one. Lucky for me, it turned out to be a unique card.
The Merkle run? I lucked into that one when I picked up a Merkle Uzit on ebay, then followed up a year later by getting the Merkle Brown Lenox. It was only after stumbling into those two that I decided to go for the rest of the run. And the Merkle Piedmont 42? I bought the first Piedmont that I found on ebay. It was only after I received the card that I noticed that it was a Factory 42.
The Pirate? Okay, that was a great pick up. But I've had a few big f' ups as well. None of which I wish to describe now. :o

[mrvster]

Well done my friend! I'm in the similar situation.....I have just had great luck and a great eye over the years.....there are a lot I regret letting go like you did

GREAT JOB!

:eek:

I can now enjoy my yellow brown street thanks to Chris;).......felt too guilty before:D

[Sean]

Johnny, here's the rest of the story about your Street scrap:

You got the card from Goodwin (I think) in June 2013. That same night I was negotiating with Mike S. to buy his Street/ Drum. We agreed at about 10PM EST.

After that, I talked to Chris about the card. I told him that I already had a Street/ BL460, so I might as well do a back run. He mentioned the scrap that was for sale that very night, but it was too late to make an initial bid.

I learned later that you got the scrap. If I had made the deal with Mike one day earlier we would have been bidding against each other.

I'm glad it worked out the way it did. :)

[MVSNYC]

You're welcome, guys.

[curtis-cards]

An amazing run! Thanks for sharing!
