Far from pre-war, but this major purchase (to go with my new set) needed to be on the front page.

Can't keep spending $ like this is 2021....

Looks way better than a 2...PSA has been tough on CJ Speakers for some reason this past year.

Mark,

My focus is on collecting T206 front/back combinations. I have over 2000 different. Along the way I had picked up most of this subset, so I decided to complete it. (I've also completed SC150F649OP, OMSouthLg, P150 except Plank & Wagner, P350SouthLg, Polar Bear)

I don't think any of this subset are particularly difficult. There are several popular subjects - 3 Chases, Red Cobb, Matty Dark, Chance, Evers, Tinker, and other HOFers. So in trying to pick them up, you are always competing with others who are just interested in the front.

The first steps of recovery is admitting you have a problem. Sitting in the office today getting a jump on next week and these arrived. Is there a Collectors Anonymous support group someone can point me to...

McGraw, Waner, & Cobb all on my checklist. E98 blue Clarke master set upgrade (thanks Aad), and a 1913 National Game Johnson misidentified as a Tom Barker just cuz I thought it was neat.

Hey guys,

I recently received a super cool Christmas gift. This is an American Caramel Co. stock certificate no. 111 that is signed over to Frederick G W Breisch on May 28, 1898. The American Caramel Co. was formed in 1889 when the Breisch-Hine Co. of Philadelphia and the P. C. Wiest Co. of York, Pennsylvania, merged according to Wikipedia. :rolleyes: So I wonder if the Frederick G W Breisch on the certificate is the same as the Breisch from Breisch-Hines Co. Anyway, it's a very cool piece that goes great with my E90's.

Now as I said, this was a Christmas gift. It came from Phil (Casey2296) from here on the board. Phil, I am thrilled with this one! I owe you buddy.

Hi Ricky,

I couldn't find the connection between the two. But Scott says it is. There is another signature (of the Secretary) on the certificate of a Mr. Williams and I thought it would be really cool if it were the Breisch and Williams of the E107 fame.

Here is another part of the deal that Phil referenced above. So cool to be able to do an old fashioned trade for something that you really want. I knew that Wiltse existed in the Rose Co. postcard set, but adding one to my collection had always eluded me. When I saw that Phil had picked one up, I contacted him and he went out of his way to make a deal with me. Really happy to have been able to add this one to my collection.

Somebody colored in the corners along the way, but it is still a very nice looking card.

So I was the winner of the Collection of nearly 500 Zeenut cards in the most recent Heritage Auction. I don't remember being more excited about getting a collection in the mail than I was to get this one. The description was so vague and there were so few pictures that there could literally be anything in there.

I made a video on my YOUTUBE channel going through the collection for the first time. I was hoping for a few gems hidden in there BUT I WAS COMPLETELY UNPREPARED FOR JUST HOW AMAZING THE COLLECTION ACTUALLY WAS!!!

Please check out the video a the link below...

Every collector has to see Rhett's video...it made my heart pitter-patter as he got overwhelmed discovering just about everything you could want from the 1915-21 Zeenut sets, plus Colgan's Tin Tops. It has to be one of the top hidden auction finds. Shame on Heritage not spending a little more time detailing this scrapbook (poor consigner!), but one heck of a score, and a big congrats to someone (Rhett) who appreciates and collects the Zeenut sets.

The 1919 ad listing available Zeenuts is quite the score too, and I absolutely love the photo of the original collector with his fellow baseball buddies...a priceless gem.

Picked this up from Turner over in the BST section. A goal for this year was to add a T210 or T211 Memphis player to the collection, so it's nice to have that knocked out within the first two weeks. Very excited about this one.

Universal Toy & Novelty Co. printed a variety of 10-card strips in the 1919-21 era that include these W529-1 boxers. Note the title text on the middle cards of their strip; all 1919-21 Universal boxing strips appear to be W529-1s.

Seven of these arrived this week, cutting my needs to #6 Fulton and #9 Dempsey. Fingers crossed I can finish it off this year.

Picked this up from Turner over in the BST section. A goal for this year was to add a T210 or T211 Memphis player to the collection, so it's nice to have that knocked out within the first two weeks. Very excited about this one.

(Haven't gotten around to scanning it myself, so just borrowing the scan from the BST post)

Congrats! I almost pulled the trigger on that card about 10 times but I'm really trying to hold off expenditures ATM. It's a beauty!

I picked up my first Zeenut PCL this month. It's not in the best condition but I wanted to start small and work my way up.

The Cobb was the final image I was after for my Cobb run, but I'm sure I'll get sucked in again at some point... :rolleyes:

I love back runs.

2 questions :

Can we see them all?

Which player has the most?

Nothing fancy or expensive, but I like pre-1920s photo postcards of everyday folks playing baseball.

Nice Upgrade for my W522 Set

If you need to find a home for your lesser example, I might be your guy. Very nice looking W522. I hate when I forget to bid on cards I’m watching...nice grab!

While this isn't on the same level of those amazing Red Hindu's, I'm happy to pick up another this month toward my HOF Port collection with a back I didn't have.

Finally back from SGC

Nice! Just got my 1921 Chas O’Leary back from SGC today. Only got an A but that is fine. With that said, I am done submitting to SGC. Fortunately I also got my silks and T210 back non graded as with the way they were dropping the ball, was not quite sure what was going to happen. Going to try CSG for the silks and T210 as they seem reasonable and they actually have someone answering the phone and returning phone calls.

I've been a bit obsessed in obtaining a Johnson portrait for a while now. Had to be a 150 SGC green label with strong borders and good centering. The way the value of this card is increasing and good examples are becoming more scarce I thought I may have missed the "Train".

For me, this one hit all the marks.

Hi Ryan. We both had that card but in a PSA 5. I am trying to go back and focus on my core collection revolving around Ruth and Jackson. So this is advertising back # 2 with the first one being this
