Bobby Doerr will be 98 April 7th..........the last 1930's MLB player, and oldest HOFer. Played on same field with Lou Gehrig, and many other all-time greats. Glad to add this upgrade to my collection. Happy Birthday Bobby Doerr.......a fine gentleman and always a class act.

Hey Tim, nice Doerr! He was a class act. I wrote to him a few times in the 80's to sign photos through the mail and he was always more than accomodating. He would always send some extras back too.

I know this isn't exactly vintage, but with this being a Cracker Jack
set there is a nexus to being vintage. Just picked up the Willie Mays
card to complete my set. Kind of a cool set I thought, especially
being autographed and all.

After watching the new documentary Fastball and getting a new appreciation for how badass Nolan Ryan was I had to buy his 68 Topps card to replace the one I had as a kid. Huge price disparity between a psa 7 and 8+. Does anyone else think PSA 7's are many times the best value for the card quality?

That's a really nice Ryan, A.J.!
Here's a pitcher I picked up this month, although he had a much shorter career.
Cheers,

Nice Ryan AJ, he was my childhood favorite (80s - 90s). It would be fun to get one of those eventually.
Steve - great Loudermilk, and a Louisiana card to boot!

Considering there's often a 200-400% jump in price from a 7 to an 8 on key RCs like Ryan, Aaron, Clemente, Mantle, Mays, pretty much all of them actually, I tend to agree. Nice card.
I own a PSA 7 Ryan RC for the same reason.

I like 7s but think 6s might be the best bang for the buck, always have thought that too. (as my avatar is a 7 and highest graded :))

On some cards I'd rather spend even less and "settle" for a nice 6 or even 5.5.

Hard to argue with that or those cards. Often the jump from a 6 to a 7 is much less than from a 7 to an 8. But you can't go wrong either way, especially when you focus on finding a card that looks great for the grade.
Awesome looking cards Peter.

Holy Moley Rhett! Nice group of "worthless" boxing cards there. I see you scored three (well I think you really got at least 4, with the horizontal card) of the huge lot of 1914 Zeenuts I was going after. I ended up with 11 from that group. I got a few of them, then my computer whacked out on me, and I tried switching to my phone, by then you got a couple of the ones I had listed as "must haves!" (like that Klawitter). I got back on line, and won a couple more. Did you see the Rogers cards? Was that two variations, or was one just that his feet where trimmed off the card? Anyway, congrats on some coooool pick-ups!

Haha, could be. It was certainly a different world with harder lives back then. I just looked it up he was 23 in 1927 so he was likely 22 or 23 in this picture. I asked my wife who had no idea how old he was. I asked how old he looked....she said about 50.

Nice Bender! I was watching that one too - given that we always seem to like the same things I worry that a wormhole might open up if you and I ever meet.
Thanks Chris and Bryan. I think that card was a real bargain, due to the auth. grade. Especially since the grade is from someone trying to get rid of the"A" on his uniform and change it to a "P", and not from trimming.

As always, some really beautiful (and inspiring) pick ups this month.
Rhett, though I really like the M-101-5s, I don't think I'd ever be able to look at that Chapman card, and not feel a sense of melancholy. And, as one admittedly clueless about boxing cards, can you (or Adam) tell me what those are?
Scott, I really like that Peckinpaugh. Call me crazy, but I think I prefer the 1914 set because I like them to have a little of the caramel coating from the candy. It gives them added personality. I really want to get into the CJs. Of course, I would prefer the more expensive of the two sets. Oy.
Peter, can I come over and look at your cards? :p
You're going to have to tell me how and the hell that Aaron got a 5.5 grade? Maybe I'm getting senile at age 44, but outside of a slight shift down and to the left with the centering, I can't spot anything that would drop this down so much in technical grading. The color and registration are flawless. I see three really strong edges, only the left being rough cut--but, I thought PSA made an allowance as this was common in the mid to late 50s sets, and there's certainly no evidence of wear beyond the factory. The corners are nice, only slightly touched. And, when I tilt my laptop screen, I don't see any wrinkles/creases at all. I don't know, maybe it's good I'm not a grader, because I could see this getting a full point higher, if not a point and a half. For a 62 year old card, that seems to me (without seeing the back) a heck of a lot nicer than a 5.5.
When I start hitting the bigger vintage cards, I'm going to be looking for this same grade range. Strong 5s and 6s can be beautiful without the sticker shock. I'm a collector, and don't give a damn about some registry ranking. Oh, and I want that Clemente!
Four really nice cards you have there.
I know there have been times in the past where I went beyond waxing poetic (apropos for baseball cards?), and I'm trying to be good, and only comment on a couple additions to this discussion. But it's really hard to not enjoy, and compliment everybody.
Spring is in the air. The first week of the season has my team playing far better than expected at least thus far, and I'm feeling like a kid all over again. Who can blame me?

You may not get the recognition over here as you should but that is an awesome pickup! The Ruth image on the super rare R87 trio is great! You just need the other 3 cards to make the set of 6 to see who the other ballplayers are, MUCH easier said than done!

Howe’s Hunter
04-14-2016, 11:28 AM
and a great surprise with number 289.
John Taylor at TnT Collectibles near Pittsburgh has been the source of quite a few cards over the years. A couple of weeks ago, we had a miscommunication over a card, and after a series of emails, he just went through his current inventory and found all the cards he had that Howe had stamped, made an offer and sold in a group rather than go through the auction process on eBay.
When the package arrived today, there was a great surprise with the Jordan card, as it has Howe's "other" stamp, using his first name Urich, and listing him as an agent for the Saturday Evening Post, but still with the home/grocery address listed. Like the other two I've seen and been able to acquire, the stamp is in green, which doesn't seem to hold up as well over time (the others are quite faint also) but really is a wonderful surprise to have arrive.
John had told me the Myers stamp was really strong, and he wasn't kidding on that, either.

Andy, love the Hornsby, especially.
Thanks Bill.
I got the Hornsby today. It is my highest graded DS HOFer at 4.5. I decided to go a little nicer than the rest (I know the group photo isn't great ... my budget being what it is the others are almost all 2, 2.5, or 3).
It serves double duty as necessary for the DS collection and also as my only Hornsby; someone I definitely want in my collection in contrast to, say, Red Ruffing (whose example in the Quigley collection features the card number written in pencil on the front top right corner). Still, when I display them all together they look better than I hoped.
I won the Hornsby by 66 cents. My snipe v. another snipe. Mine was in about 20 seconds earlier than his. If it were reversed I guess he would have gotten the card because while my bid was higher by $0.66, it wouldn't have been large enough to satisfy the minimum bid increment. I think that's right ... someone please feel free to correct me.
Thanks.

That's a really nice Lajoie, David. Congrats on winning it.
PWCC has been selling some incredible examples of his T206s recently. I was watching a couple of the portraits he sold. This one (http://www.ebay.com/itm/1909-11-T206-Nap-Lajoie-PORTRAIT-SOVEREIGN-PSA-6-EXMT-PWCC-/401096067296?hash=item5d633048e0%3Ag%3A41sAAOSwZ8Z W-ASF&nma=true&si=W3awXtd9BoeDkwGiTeOcd%252BcM1CE%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557) blew me away. That's a PSA 6 w/ a dark green Sovereign back. Then there was this PSA 4 (http://www.ebay.com/itm/1909-11-T206-Nap-Lajoie-PORTRAIT-PSA-4-VGEX-PWCC-/401096067238?hash=item5d633048a6%3Ag%3Ak0sAAOSwBnV W-AR3&nma=true&si=W3awXtd9BoeDkwGiTeOcd%252BcM1CE%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557). That one looks under-graded to me.

Interesting trade
Interesting trade
It would seem mainstream Ruth's +1, for a D304 Cobb is interesting in trade but we know Gary (hey Gary) is shrewd. And that is no ordinary D304, it's really a cut above. Congrats on that one, Gary. Great looking card.

Thanks for the comments, everyone! I think it was a very fair and equal trade for both of us. I definitely gave up a lot of tough Ruth cards that now I have to go out and find again and hope the prices will still be reasonable. However, the Brunners has always been on my want list, and I probably could not have picked up a nice copy without a trade like this.

I don't think this is a big deal. A lot of folks post cards on the Pickup threads that they plan to sell immediately. As long they don't explicitly say in the Pickup thread that "hey, and this card is for sale for $X" then it's A okay with me.
Brian Van Horn

I think it would be better if the pickup thread was reserved for collecting. It just feels wrong to post cards that you don't like enough to keep right after someone posts a card they are really excited to get. I never post cards that I am planning to sell, and I think pretty much everyone else does the same. It seems like it is already an unwritten rule.

Here's a C. 1930's Bobby Veach Coal Company Ad Card with Ty Cobb, Bobby Veach & Sam Crawford
That is incredibly cool JB!
So, I know some of you guys don't take a shine to beaters, but to me, these are some of the best cards I own. When I first started collecting, I thought I could never get an example of either of these two. Yet here they are. Funny, I was reading an old thread, and someone was describing a Demmitt with writing on the front, and right after that I found this one, and thought, "Well, it doesn't bother me too much." I think it is the nicest Demmitt I've seen for (barely) under $1K in the last two years. And I love this Cobb image, maybe I will be able to get the T216 Cobb leaning on bat someday after all!

I know it's in Lemke's book as 1920's PC, and mentions the #210 and how he's seated in cane chair etc... Just curious if anyone had anymore info on this PC if it may be part of a series? Maybe something to do with the movies? Would love to hear any ideas on origin. Guesses on year(s) etc...

Except Joey (hi Joey) has been warned multiple times for soliciting offers to buy, sell or trade on this board after promising not to, in order to be allowed back. He is not allowed on our BST forums for a reason (actually many reasons if I recall correctly). He had many selling and trading issues some time ago.
Granted it's been a few years but it seems the ban is still necessary. In essence he is skirting the rule in order to generate interest to sell things. At least that is the way it looks to me.
ps...I should add, otherwise in ordinary cases I agree with you 100%

Further testament that this site is awesome. I had missed a 1914 Zeenut variation that I needed on ebay and when I figured it out the buyer (a board member) sent it to me for "future considerations." You can't get better members than we have here!
1.) I had the Large image of Leard but needed the "small" Leard...

2.) I used me "ebay Bucks" to get a card I had always wanted (admittedly NOT baseball, but the Stanley Cup playoffs are going on so why not!). 1932-33 O'Keefe's Beverage Ltd. Coaster of King Clancy...

... no player's name on either the front nor the back but that's okay because no one except Chuck Klein looks like Chuck Klein.....
...The seller said he thought it might be from the 1933 All Star game. Sounds about right. Others on here would know for sure so thanks guys....
..The Orcajo Dimaggio with the curious stains on the back is just in the scan for scale ; I've had it for years ; I bought it back when I had money..

Some 1909 Minneapolis Tribune Supplements, and a bit OT, but related to the baseball series, some T226 Red Sun boxing.

Being one of the worst spellers ever, I always enjoy the misspelling of Puglistic !!! The T226s are great cards, used to own a few, now only Young Donahoe. I'd would have hated to be the copywriter who made that mistake :rolleyes:
Although it is still better than the T225s, were someone misspelled the company name !!! Khedivial vs. Khedival :p
nothing much added here ..................

That is one of the things that attracts me to these cards. And the names, I mean who wouldn't want to be known as "Fighting Dick?"

Aaron, congrats on the Ruth. That's a real beauty!
A.J. all four of those ports have great eye appeal, especially the Lajoie. That's another example of how harsh PSA's being with their grading right now. Presents much better than its grade.
Sam, I've been considering some exhibits, myself. They'll need to wait a while, but they seem to be a slightly more affordable option. I especially like that Wajo. And your Huggins port is a real blazer.
Erick, nice upgrade on the Wagner.
