I got what I think are a cool couple of pickups from Wheatland and LOTG. Both have to do with longtime MLB pitcher Al "General" Crowder, who is from Winston-Salem where I have lived for over 25 years. Crowder was born in Winston and after his career came back and was instrumental in developing our longstanding tradition of hosting a minor league franchise. He lived the rest of his life here, and is something of a local hero. I was lucky enough to pick up one of the cards he autographed for Uncle Jimmy (I mean, I don't if that's real but it's a good story) from Wheatland and a 1935 World Series game 4 ticket stub from LOTG where he pitched a complete game victory.

This has always been my favorite card from the Diamond Stars set. Before I learned about the "Gas House Gang" or Medwick hitting for the Triple Crown in 37', something about this composition jumped out to me as a kid flipping through Classic Baseball Cards by Frank Slocum. Acquiring this example from the Uncle Jimmy Collection signed in era correct ink was a no brainer.

Knocked two of the key T206 HOF Portraits off the list (even if the shape is rough :)! One September the other earlier this spring, but I was just able to get it from my office as they let me in to just pick a few things up.

Also knocked out the following Portraits:
Huggins
Griffith
Waddell

A few FUN pick ups ..... :)

Devore off ebay, and nice to add another tougher 460 EPDG. The rest from my buddy Luke. Sov.150 Donohue has been on my want list for a looooooong time, as well as a "back" for Barry (let alone such a low pop.;)). That, and two pretty darn sharp OMs, to boot !!!

I won most of the set of 48 Bowmans in Wheatland. The photo quality on these is just outstanding and better in person. Couldn’t upload the Musial for some reason but it was the best photo i have seen on one. Only got a 5 but way better than that, had a rough cut on bottom i guess.

Never thought I'd own a green T206 Cobb because I was very happy with the PSA 4.5 "bat off" Cobb I bought at the Baltimore National in 2012. But when the owner of my favorite shop (virtually) dangled it in front of me last month, I became transfixed and had to have it. Even though it's nearly miscut high, the crease-free image, registration and color are beautiful to me. A card I'll be proud to own for a long time to come.

Picked up this autographed cabinet photo of player/manager and T206 subject Jimmy Burke.

Photo was taken during Spring Training 1911 at Hot Springs and was signed "To My Pal Connie". Burke played for Milwaukee under Connie Mack in 1900 so this may have once belonged to "The Tall Tactician" himself.

Not a HOFer (or even close), but I'm glad to finally pick up an m101-6 Ehmke to go with the matching photo embossed with Mendelsohn's name.

..An upgrade of a beater , a Yankee premium from the 1936 R-314 Wide Pen Set , and an update of the ongoing cleaning process on the Worch Cigar Project's Vintage Poster of the 1933-1935 Minneapolis Millers.

..I've just noticed that the two bottom cards' players both seem to have a lot of "R"'s in their names .......possibly descended from pirates....

Thanks! I think I have maybe 3-4 now with this stamp, and one with a fancier Pacific Coast Biscuit stamp. Some came from Leon’s old collection, and can be found on other threads on the forum. I think I ended up eventually buying all Leon’s D310s. I knew I was all in when I saw this one, not only the stamp, but I needed Lindsay toward the set.

1911 T212 Lerchen: Pretty nice example of an Edward L. Morrison back stamp

1911 T212 Moskiman: A bit of a print shift from left to right resulting in a ghost image

1911 T212 Cack Henley: One of my favorite poses from the 1911 run and not the typical generic back bio. The back mentions a 24 inning complete game shutout, cool stat.

1933 Goudey Bing Miller: Bought as a junker, probably is a junker, but I'll pretend it missed it's red printing :D

Thank you for sharing the images. I could be wrong but a quick study suggests you have reproductions of the cabinets held at the NYPL. Have a look at following:
