Thanks ...Yes, 1993 Worch, a little off the beaten path which has always been my style.

Today is also the one year anniversary that I received my first T206. It was Dahlen Boston, and today is Dahlen's birthday.

Most of these are from December. I've caught the T207 bug, and have picked up a number of cards for my T206 project lately. Also a really cool T205 P42 with 2 backs showing.

Sweet cards, Luke. As they say --- "diversify" :)

A nicer than my needed condition tough common (especially the rarer "goatee" variation ;)), puts me at 87:

T206 Brooklyn Team set which came out of Zach Wheat's scrapbook. Thought it was neat that he had every card in the set. They all have tape from being in his scrapbook but I don't care as I wouldn't sell them anyway.

Thank you very much, Leon!

I've owned a handful of CB's over the years, and many are plagued with poor centering, or non-bold ink, etc...so this one answers the bell for me. and Jim C (jcc6252) was a pleasure to deal with.

PS- I'll be posting a card in this thread in a day or two that YOU used to own. ;)

Hours after winning the E94 red Wagner, I was able to win a gold Devlin which is the last color variation needed of Devlin (had the red, blue, green, olive, violet and the rare orange).
It's odd I can go almost a year without finding one of the E94s I still need in the right color and then BOOM, BOOM, two in less than 24 hours :D

When I started collecting vintage 20 years ago the very first card I bought was a Duffy Mayo, ungraded, excellent or better. Loved it. There was one problem. When I got home and looked in a catalog they said it was black toned and with black back and the one I had was...brown. At least the dealer admitted it was a reprint and took it back. Been wanting one since but had to be in great shape and very pricey at that. Now, a reasonable price, I just won this...if anything, it looks like a 5 and great centering. The MK they say is small pencil mark on black black and only visible at an angle....

01-17-2016, 10:33 AM
Yeah, no internet then....I actually called one of the dealers listed in a Beckett and asked for advice. He said if it's brown you are out of luck. Fortunately the dealer in NYC--still has only shop left, I think, Alex's--took it back promptly...

I very much appreciate the comment, guys. It's great to be part of a community where pick-ups small and large are appreciated. Let's just say my wife thinks they have "pretty colors," my non-hobby friends are more interested in Miguel Cabrera, and my parents think I'm investing in Enron c.2005.

The SGC holder is the perfect compliment. That E93 Cobb is my favorite card in our Hobby and the centering is amazing...a Gem. Hope to pick one up.

Had an Uncle Marvin Van Horne who lived in Big Sandy Tennessee.

Been gone for many years now, unfortunately. Just a last name I don't see/hear very often.

Leon, that T206 Speaker you stole was one of my consignments @ Mile High. I know you will enjoy the card even more when you can gaze adoringly at it perched in your hand. Terrific color! Along with the Cobb greenie, Speaker T206s seem to be heating up; it always has been a terrific card. John

Thanks John.
Sorry to say (sort of) that I picked up one of your other consignments too, the E126 Meusel is coming back home soon.

Irv,

Thank you for the post. I do not know if I am any relation to Marvin. The interesting thing is that we, meaning my brothers and I, are nearly the only Van Horns we know. My grandparents divorced when my father was about three. He, my grandfather, remarried and had a daughter and son, but that's about it. My father kept the name Van Horn, but my grandmother remarried and, of course, changed her last name with the ceremony. Somewhere back in the history of the family the "e" was dropped from the end of the last name.

Van Horne is a huge name for Canadian baseball fans. Dave Van Horne, from Easton, Pennsylvania, called Montreal Expos games for 32 years. (He's now a Marlin) He was inducted into the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame in 2014.

I'll have to ask my Father, Brian. I know my Uncle Marvin was divorced but that's about all I know about that.
He remarried a woman named, Helen and also fought in the Korean war.

I don't believe he was originally from Big Sandy Tenn, but I could be wrong.

I'll let you know. :)

This was originally purchased a couple months ago but just arrived back from SGC yesterday. Part of my first ever submission.

Apparently tied for the highest graded by SGC.

Gotta love that T3 Lennox. I'd be thrilled to have a baseball card made of me, especially a beauty Turkey Red --- But being shown forever missing a pitched ball by 2 or 3 feet, not so much !!!! :o

I'm not sure if you're aware, but that Piedmont 350 Ganley is really rare. Nice pick up. There's been several threads about these elusive Piedmont 350s:

I hate using this word as it's far too overused in card descriptions, real estate listings, fashion shows, etc, but it seems very appropriate here: stunning. Great purchase.

Still looks better than a PR 1 to me. I could understand that grade/rating if the paper loss was on the front, but definitely not the back.

bought a few cards because you like the way they look and realize that you had subconsciously started building a subset? Had no intention to build a T206 HoF set, but I guess I am now. Also happened with Delongs.

Special thanks to Jim C for the great tranaction on Huggins.

Also, that Cobb 1 looks awesome above.

Loving all these Cobbs. Despite a few creases, the image quality and sharpness in his face are not affected at all. Congrats.

Big thanks to Brian Kritz for this Reese. No idea if he's a board member, but I've now had several nice dealings with him.

Part of my PSA membership renewal sub. As some of you know, this is my first T206, and I'm happy to have it back in a slab. Also happy to own a 1936 NM-MT card of a HOFer.
