Very nice.

[Howe’s Hunter]

Back in July, Mark Macrae saw my posting in Mark Bowers' National want list thread and let me know he had recently acquired a card with Howe's stamp on the back, and asked if I was interested. When I saw the scan, I was a very happy guy. It was the Mathewson white cap that was on my known-but-lost list, having lost track of it when Jim Schnieder sold it on eBay after winning the near complete T206 set from Mastro back in 2008. Mark had just gotten it from the estate of a collector who had around 400 T206s, and it was one of them. Mark was nice enough to drop it off here in Omaha on his way through to the National. It is actually card #257 in the rebuilt collection.

Last week, long time board member Frank Bennett reached out to let me know he had just acquired a Wiltse card with Howe's stamp. This one was new, or news to me, as I hadn't heard about or seen it before. Thanks for such a quick deal, Frank, and getting this card back with the others. It is actually #260.

Back in late 2012, board member Troy reached out to me and let me know he had a card with a lot of sentimental value that had Howe's stamp on the back. He sent scans of that beauty, and about two weeks later let me know he had found another card in his collection that had the stamp also. It wasn't until about two weeks ago, while going back through old emails that it dawned on me that I never asked if the second card had any sentimental value to him, or if it might be purchased. It arrived yesterday morning in the mail, becoming #261 in the rebuilt collection.

http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s81/T206ster/261-ndash-Myers_zps10a1f761.gif (http://s150.photobucket.com/user/T206ster/media/261-ndash-Myers_zps10a1f761.gif.html)


In the last three months, I've gotten three previously unknown cards, one that had been lost for six years, and another that I knew the owner of, but hadn't been able (or just hadn't asked) to purchase. My post on the B/S/T thread let me know of another that I now know the owner of, and also let me know of one that I had known the owner, but it has changed hands, without the benefit of knowing where it went. That keeps the total number of cards I know that have the stamp out there at 33. 11 I know the owner of, 22 are lost in the general population.

Thanks to everyone on this board who have been so helpful this past seven years as I've tried to rebuild the collection. I'll never know if or when it is complete, but it sure is fun seeing all the great cards Howe owned at one time.

[the 'stache]

Thank you, Dan. :)

My favorite Tinker, Bill. Nice pick-ups!

....finally just finished collecting all three of the 1935/1936 Cronin types ; differences in cropping are evident by comparing the foot , cap , and sleeve .
.. I think The type 2 ( no " Litho In USA " ) has been exposed to a lifetime of cigarette smoke because the normal border color is white , just like the type 1 .

...He doesn't appear in the Type 4 and only Detroit Tigers are in the Type 5 ( I think Hank Greenberg is the only player in all five types ?? ). Tim ??


...oh damn , radio just broke the news.... RIP Joan

This arrived in my mailbox the other day...I was very excited.

Interesting and cool card, Sean. I hadn't seen one before and had to do some research to figure out what you had!

[edjs]

These were discussed a few months back, but I just got them this week. Don't worry, I know they are skinned and trimmed. I can't imagine who had the patience to skin these. The Burrell you would think it was blank backed, it was skinned so neatly. Fronts look okay, though, and they were cheap. I'll have a few more examples of good cards gone bad when they come in over the next week. That sounds like a theme for a thread, maybe?

Jon-I love the Pirates. Very nice additions to your collection.

Kenny-some really nice cards, beautiful! I look forward to investigating both Cuban cards and OJs one day soon. The monster is keeping me very busy...

Thanks guys. :)

I don't think my wife checks this blog (or card prices) so I can probably agree. If I'm wrong there's a chance they may find me buried in the back yard :)

I picked my Clemente user icon back when I first joined. I found it doing a Google image search. Today, I purchased the original wire photo of the image off ebay. I apologize that this isn't a pre-war pick-up, but I just thought it was a pretty cool find:

[edjs]

I got my first T211, I am very excited for this one. The advice I need is this, I bought a T206 Kissinger in low grade (probably would be poor to fair), and they sent this American Caramel instead. I am fine with the American Caramel, but it is not a set I collect. The seller contacted me and said they would refund me $10 to return the card, which is very fair. My question is what would the American Caramel be worth? It is graded VG. If I decide to keep it, I would like to send an offer to make it fair for both them and me. I figure if I send it back, it would cost the seller at least $15 to send me the T206 (since they would refund me $10 to send it back, and about $5 to ship the other). Would it be worth it to them to just have me keep it? Should I offer them something to even up the cost? What roughly is the value of the American Caramel? Any thoughts are appreciated.

Oh, the little pin is a Red Cross tobacco pin. I was hoping to win the 3 Red Cross cards in the Legendary Auction last week, but no luck.

[Luke]

That Cox E120 is worth about $25. There don't seem to be a lot of people collecting them. I've bought over 100 of them in the past year and have a pretty good idea of the market. If you were to offer them like $5-7 I bet they would see that as fair and be happy to have the issue resolved.

Thanks, I have never bought one (I never have even shopped for one), and was thinking of keeping it to just have one from the series. But if that is all they are worth, I will send it back and get the T206 I originally bought. I appreciate the advice.

I'm sure you probably already own one, but there is a 2008 Stadium Club card using your avatar picture. I'd send you one, but I don't have a dup.

Who knew that Howie Camnitz had a tattoo on his back?

[edjs]

Hi guys, I was wondering if this is genuine from the Vermont find. I was expecting something more like a cabinet, this is more like a photo. I have never seen one in person, but it is such a great image. Any advice is appreciated.

[Jeffrompa]

Without holding it in my hand I would say the back looks too new and the image appears to be a photograph of a photograph .

[Kingcobb]

I picked these up at a flea market in West Virgina last weekend. It's been years since I have been able to find anything like this other than the internet.

[t206hound]

I appear to have a Rossman problem... 2 two-namers and now 3 double-namers (plus two partials/slivers):

[edjs]

Guys, I just read through the tread from Oct. 2004. I did not know what my previous posted image could stir up, and glad it has not yet. Please ignore my request for advice. Suffice to say, it is what it is, and it didn't cost much, and it looks nice to me.

Here is the other one I got, I changed some of the scan settings so the image would show up better, it stinks to try and scan in a Beckett holder, I get so much reflection of the scanner light. It is not really that dark in hand, and the holder has scratches. It is graded "A", I just gotta wonder why would anyone trim off the bottom of such a cool item (rhetorical question).

after failing to get this T214a few months back, I was able to trade for it in late august and received it about a week or so ago.

[ValKehl]

Mark, congrats on this fantastic pickup!! Super scarce/truly rare cards such as this one are the ones I get the most thrill out of having in my collection. I watched this T214 Jennings languish on eBay for what seemed like forever, until the seller got more realistic with his price, at which point I would have jumped on it if I didn't already have a couple of T214s - but mine are not as nice as this one.

I would say no. If there is a significant portion of the (Same) name, there are some that will pay a premium. If it's a different name, even a sliver, there will be a premium.

Another late scanning of late August pickups - these are from a board member with help from an esteemed moderator.:):) Thank you both.

While each one has an issue or three, the color, registration and eye appeal is generally really good... these scans don't do them justice.

Mostly Broadleaf backs, with a couple of Anonymous ones.

Picked up a T205 Bill Carrigan to go with the Carrigan S74 silk I recently picked up.


Patrick

Patrick, his face looks so much more intense on the S74 than the T205 card!

[Louieman]

They certainly do as well as imitation purses and bags and a lot of other junk. I hate to rain on the parade, but I thought he was only technically good. I never thought much of his art. I always thought he was a twentieth century art version of PT Barnum.
Yeah, fair enough. Its a taste thing, in the end. I'm not a big Warhol fan, but I do like certain things he did. Ever see his Tom Seaver in Cooperstown?

[Tao_Moko]

Thanks Dan! Only one Cub left to go. Can you guess which one?

[cguidi]

I found this old baseball cabinet of Thomas J. Donovan. He made it to the bigs in 1901. This cabinet would have been from his 1887-1888 seasons with the Meriden Bulldogs in the Connecticut State League.

[Mountaineer1999]

I love looking thru all these pickups.

Jon, You outbid me on the double name Abbaticchio. The MC makes them a little more affordable.

Glad it worked out Mike. I knew the other person would be in good hands.

[Brian Van Horn]

Louie,

I believe I saw it. Still, I just never got into his work.

[Brian Van Horn]

Now, back to the subject at hand. Cards. One of my favorite team:

[jb217676]

Here's a 1944 Radio Scorecard that features the St.Louis Cardinals lineup on one side and the St Louis Browns lineup on the other. A neat oddball item that includes Stan Musial!

[wazoo]

Got this in today
Polar bear back

One of my favorite poses and backs! Great card!

[Matvoo]

Thanks wazooooooooooooooooooo

Haven't added anything for four months but finally found one of these that I like.

Thanks, Danny.

I'm also a big fan of that Chance, Brian - love that there are a number of stars that finished off their career in one form or another in the PCL.

These three arrived today:

a Fred Payne S74 , a Jimmy Archer S74, and a Red Dooin E101 with blazing colors.


Patrick

[the-illini]

Thanks Todd - I am now up to 30 Mendelsohn's with this one...

[nolemmings]

Nice card Chris. As they say, parting is such sweet sorrow.

[Bicem]

Great image on that Fletcher!

[Runscott]

hmmm....

[the-illini]

email sent Scott :-)

[Runscott]

Chris - you know I doctored the photo (added the M101-6 lettering, modified the coloring to match the card).

The photo itself is an original 1917 Mendelsohn print - 4.75 x 6.5, shown unadulterated on the Memorabilia side.

[nolemmings]

That Holke is wonderful. Hold off if you can Scott, if only for awhile, as Chris is relentless. Makes Red from "The Blacklist" look like a piker.

[Runscott]

Thanks Todd - here is the actual scan of the print.

Ha Scott I knew it was a photo but I didn't catch the doctoring- I am still interested in it! I got skunked on a couple that were auctioned in a Hyee listing and I missed a couple others. I want one of those photos more than I want another actual m101-6...

[Runscott]

Joe Harris

Just verified that this is also a Mendelsohn - it's glued to a mount which I have separated enough to see Mendelsohn's stamp on the verso. Probably also 1917

[the-illini]

You are killin me Scott...

[nolemmings]

me too. Scott, don't know if you're aware that Holke is one of the very few m101-6s that shows him captioned with two teams, although the same photo was used. That photo was taken when he was with the Giants, not the Braves.

[Runscott]

I don't know anything about M101's - I just collect photos and Mendelsohn was one of the better photographers. But thanks for that information.

Just finished removing the photo from a more modern mount - here's the stampings on the verso - you can see where there used to be a Sporting News archive stamp, which someone removed so that the photo would lie flat on the mount (it's thin and curls). The Holke has Mendelsohn's embossment at the lower right - no stamps on the back.

[Jcfowler6]

Got a brown sleeves Abby off the bay.

[Gobucsmagic74]

Obviously not pre-war, but a significant pick-up for me nonetheless. Thanks Pete!

[itjclarke]

Awesome card Dan, congrats! I feel scans don't do this one justice, as compared with holding it in hand and having that bright red jump out at you.

[Scott36153]

Nice! Congrats! I will own one one of these days

[Brian Van Horn]

OK, so I'm nuts:

[bcbgcbrcb]

Brian:

Nice group there, the Giants cards and especially the Senators cards are quite rare.............

[Brian Van Horn]

Phil,

Thank you. Yes, the Giants and Senators are tough. The five cards I wanted were: 1) Goslin 2) (a tie) Kelly and Groh 4) Youngs and 5) Hoyt, which this lot included two.

[Gobucsmagic74]

Awesome card Dan, congrats! I feel scans don't do this one justice, as compared with holding it in hand and having that bright red jump out at you.


Nice! Congrats! I will own one one of these days

Thanks Ian and Scott! I agree on the color, much deeper and more impressive in hand than on a computer screen.

[bn2cardz]

I just received the e101 and I received the e90-1 last month thanks to a trade with another member, but never got it scanned in until I was doing the e101 last night. The other's aren't new pick-ups but I like to keep them together.:D

The most pre-war HOF cards I have acquired at once. Picked up from BST. Thanks Paul.

Was able to grab this for my E95 set, now time to start saving for the big boys.

Six that I know exist. One is the Mello Mint you are also looking for and the other is the newly found Nadja, but don't expect to see it back up for sale any time soon.

Picked up this grade school notebook with Chief Bender and Ira Thomas on the cover. Work inside the book dates it to 1913. I don't collect too much baseball, but I couldn't resist this one.

In the past week, I've received three different two-namers... the only known cycle (Beck-Unglaub) and american beauty (Hinchman-Taylor), and a newly discovered Chance-Fiene (piedmont 350):
