These came at the end of October, but I never got a chance to post them....

E126 Alexander, and a T206 Stahl hidden in an eBay lot, which sure appears to be missing its red ink (regular card shown for comparison)....

Love Star Cals, I collect the movie and television ones as well whenever I run across a reasonable one. They are just a great slice of history.

I got these in the past few days and just scanned them, so I'll count them in November.

I am not a T206 Collector, but I do chase Hall of Famers. These 3 get me half way there I think....plus this includes a couple more guys I could not pass on:o

Added a bunch of fun cards and assorted backs for my 150-350 run. The Liebhardt has a cool color shift, and the Leifield is some kind of hand-cut scrap. I wasn't planning on keeping the Marshall, but the colors are so amazing, I had no choice.

Was very happy to pick up a bunch of T209-1's from Kevin Savage. Most are among the hardest cards in the set, so I was surprised to see them all come up at once and couldn't pass them up. Brings me to 13/16 for the set.

Beautiful cards!


Would it be horrible to ask how much you paid for the booles card?

That's my great grand dad!

I've got one in sgc 3
Cost me an arm and a leg..

Well worth it!

Yeah, they've very hit-or-miss on the offerings, but there's been a lot of good prewar lately, and the prices are decent and the auctions never go late. And no juice. Good customer service too, in my limited experience.

I remember when you were looking for that card, and I was jealous that you found it! (But glad you did.) The auction prices are on the website so it's no secret. The Booles was $240, which was probably about right. Most T209-1s in SGC 20 have been going in the ~$150-200 range lately, but the Booles is the toughest card in the set (17 total graded SGC/PSA) so I was worried it might go for a lot more if someone else really needed it.

...This Gleason from the same lot is definitely an example of an OJ in poor condition...Plus, 2 players in Chicago Maroons uniforms, although not designated as maroons cards (cheaper). And Cannonball Crane...

With the exception of the Gleason, all OJs that also present very well. Looks like you are amassing a nice collection of N172s.

One I've always wanted. Off register and a little wrinkly, but it fit my price range! It must mean something that I like the t205's and the Topps 72's. Maybe it's because they go with my velvet Elvis portrait so well.

So glad Raymond, you did get Matthewson Allegheny card after all. As i mentioned, my bids was gonna be too low, and had to pass the info onto somehow i knew collected these.
Really happy you got it. Was watching it yesterday and it didnt move much at all, maybe a 100 bucks. I was expecting it to go well over 7500 or more in some late snipes. a true 1/1 despite the story of re-slabbing it and got a lower grade.

Absolutely awesome Matty card. I was watching that card to see where it would close.

I am not trying to cause a problem or anything like that, but did you look at the bidding on that card? The only other bidder over $2,567 put in a bid at $6,000 that was later retracted. I wondered if something was up when the high bid was at $5,600, then dropped $5,100 later in the auction.

Again, not trying to rain on an awesome pick-up. But the bidding history by the underbidder looks kinda scary.

Yeah, I warned Raymond on that possible issue (shill?) I warn that it look like there were several bids (at the time) in small increments, possible of a shill to see where his max bid was at.
I was the underbidder with that 2567 bid. It does look like a retraction was done, i remember seeing more bids than its showing now.
It looks like e***4(2368) bidded it up and saw Raymond's max, then retracted, then later bidded it back up to the max the following day. Looks fishy indeed.

The link shows that the "2368" bidder retracted a bid of $6,000, then bid back up to $5,400 after making the retraction. That is a lot of money in an auction that looks like it was shilled. :(

Cool Thorpe postcard. I own one of the three copies of that postcard that PSA has graded (PSA 4). I know postcards aren't everyone's thing, but it still amazes me how cheap the various Thorpe postcards that pre-date his M101-5 card remain. I think you made out pretty well with that purchase. I paid more than that for my copy several years ago.

I am kinda hoping there aren't a whole lot more of that postcard still in Sweden that are going to hit the market. ;)

Thanks.. has been an expensive month or so to say the least.

:)

I decided to focus more on building my CARD collection, so mixing up the collection a bit and slimming my dupes, photos, etc. to fund this initiative!!

Yeah, the Mallorquina is similar to the Baguer Chocolates. I have a complete set in an "uncut proof sheet" and it actually fits in the largest Beckett holder (100 cards)!

If it were larger, I may consider it one of the five most important negro league cards, but here I think that "SIZE MATTERS" and would place it just outside of the top 5. Not to "talk down" the importance of this card, but it is my real opinion. Super cool, nonetheless!

Two freshly graded Cobbs. Quite happy with the 2. Was expecting an A or 1. Paper loss, creases, etc. The M116? No clue. I was expecting a 2 or 3 MK. There is a back stamp and faint pencil on the front. It seemed to measure correctly. At least my main focus isn't M116 Cobbies.

First off, Chris, that Tin Top of White is stunning in its red background color.

Secondly,
I fought the snow and ice and drove about 11 hours (Normal is 7 1/2 hrs) round trip to the Chicago show on Saturday. (The old Chicago Sun Times show). I had a great, relaxing time tempted by 3 main items that I was interested in. The two dealers that I decided to pass on were very polite and cordial even in my declining of doing business with them, so if I ever get a chance to buy from them in the future, I will. But I did decide to spend my allowance on 3 great cards. The two Goudeys are towards my low grade 33 set and the Ruth is something I have always wanted. It is the 1922 E121 "Montage" pose. I love this card of Ruth in his prime, with the idol/godlike image of him in the background of him standing in a full view Yankees Uniform. LOVE this card!!! Thanks to Kristin and Chris Buckler for selling them to me at a very satisfying price.

Then, as a Christmas gift for our son, who finishes his Masters Degree in English Lit this coming spring, a card that has a stamp of F. Scott Fitzgerald (supposedly). When studying in France for a semester several years ago, he became quite taken with Fitzgerald, and since that time, I've been trying to find a card with his stamp (supposedly) that I could justify the price on. This was on Ebay (where the scan is just a screen shot, I've already wrapped the card), with no real mention of the stamp. Came by it pretty cheap.

Picked up what I expect to be the most difficult back in my Chief Meyers T205 back run, an American Beauty back. Just need a Cycle and a Piedmont Factory 42 to complete the run.

Thanks Luke.

You did. :) Congrats on getting it - I was hoping it went to a board member, and am really glad it's going to be a meaningful gift.

I love this thread.

I have mainly collected 1960s and 70s. I only have 5 pre-war cards and none older than 1933, but this forum and especially this thread have inspired me to pick up at least one T206 and to focus more on this era.

Thanks for sharing some really tremendous cards!

It's great when we see something in our realm and we like it so much we want one. It was the way I decided on half of my first collection.

Just picked up this Lawrence J. Corcoran N172 card, shown on Indianapolis. Word on the streets is that he also has a London variation.

Im counting this as the T209 Mascot card as I dont believe one is pictured in any other card from the issue. The backgrounds of T209 are littered with fellow teammates and I think I have a very interesting theory on one ill post soon after I think on it a little more. Oh and if anyone has the name of the 1910 Fayetteville Mascot I would be most grateful.

Thanks to seablaster Hi K I found out two brothers by the name of Napier were the Mascots for the 1910 team. Until its determined which brother it is G. or E. ill just call it the T209 Mascot Napier card.

Sorry Kevin, the engineer in me needs data :) I was actually hoping for a breakdown by pose and variation.

John, at 41, your Corcoran collection must rival your entire OJ Pittsburgh team set.

Jason W. (Hi Jason), I like your T209-2 pickups - I think you should focus on players on the teams of the 2 Carolina leagues, and forget about the Virginia League players, which are the only ones I collect! :D David Bryan (Davidbvintage on eBay) gave me a good deal on these:

My first E210-Type 2, and another card for my collection of players who were on the 1924 Washington Senators team. I'd really love to find an E210-Type 2 of Sam Rice (other than the grossly overpriced example that has been in an eBay museum for a long time).

My New Year's resolution is to get a scanner, or if I am lucky Santa might deliver over Xmas. Anyhow, pickled up a Star Candy of Herb Pennock off Ebay. Never had any Stars before and apparently this one of Pennock is the only graded example, a PSA 5. Can't wait to get it, the 1st Xmas present to myself.
