Posted By: PCIt has been a very good month (some of these were purchased last month, but arrived in the last week) ... 127 graded T206 commons -- almost 25% of the set (mostly 3s, a bunch of 2s, and some great 1s). All the PSA graded examples were purchased off the B/S/T from a board member -- thanks Andy <img src="http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f327/patlizmeg/March2006017.jpg"> Two T206 HOFers graded BVG 3, each with Polar Bear backs -- these BVGs do not scan well (glare on the inner plastic sleeve), so I resorted to the camera <img src="http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f327/patlizmeg/March2006018.jpg"> 1936 R311 Charlie Gehringer (Leather Finish) <img src="http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f327/patlizmeg/scan0002.jpg"> A little OT, but a nice early SGC Mantle <img src="http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f327/patlizmeg/4c4d71d8.jpg"> Even more OT -- hey, this is a "pick-up" thread, and this has three pick-ups (for those who care, this is a 2001 Gibson Les Paul Custom Shop Peter Frampton signature model) <img src="http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f327/patlizmeg/92590f7d.jpg"> [edited to resize images]

Posted By: Tim JamesPC,nice pickup! Love the cards,but the guitar!!The thread of my dreams includes cards and instuments.The triple humbucking pic of this classic would make my boys on guitar go crazy !!@ Admit it guys,that Les Paul would bring as much as a PSA 4 Cobb green this moment.

Posted By: cmokingThere were a ton of Heinie's back in the 30s. Was it a German nickname version of Henry? I wonder if people in the U.S. stopped using Heinie for Henry during/after WW2. Here's my favorite Heinie name: <img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1142173220.JPG">

Posted By: Jeff LichtmanI was actually thinking the same thing, King. So many Heines (22) and the last one last played in 1944 with the bulk around WWI. <a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/player_search.cgi?search=heine" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://www.baseball-reference.com/player_search.cgi?search=heine</a> The majority were either nicknamed for Henry or were German it would seem. And then the nickname disappeared, just like that. In honor of the only HOF Henie, I offer the year earlier version of your Heine: <img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1142173655.JPG">

Posted By: scott brockelmanScott, i am afraid the cicotte may not grade, do you recall whom you purchased it from, since it was so recent you may be able to undo the deal, it "appears" to be trimmed, while it is sometimes difficult to ascertain from a scan, it sure looks suspect. size it with a few random raw t206's and check the top border. great looking card but again i don;t think it will grade and wanted to give you a headsup so that you might be able to return it if you paid full market price.

Posted By: BrianScott -- I thought the same thing on the Cicotte top border dropping from left to right. Sometimes my scanner makes borders appear wavy when they aren't. Hopefully thats the case here.

Posted By: scott ingoldThanks guy's for the heads up. I actually got it from a trusted board member who i know would back it up. The scan does make it look very distorted. I will be sending it off to GAI....We shall see what they say. Hopefully all is well.

Posted By: Scott GrossCaramels are Caramels, all are great ...... e77: <img src="http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a296/mybuddyinc/Boxing/e77Papke.jpg"> Papke was known as the "Conquerer of Ketchel" beating the unstoppable once. The story was that just after they shook hands before fight started, Ketchel and the Ref turned away, and Papke slugged Ketchel in the back of the head. Many thought this was the only reason Papke won. Ketchel won rematch. e80: <img src="http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a296/mybuddyinc/Boxing/e80WogastNelson.jpg"> Nelson and Wolgast met a few times. In one, Nelson was beaten so bad the Ref hold him if he did not defend himself the Ref would call the fight. In the next round, Nelson jumped out of his corner, ran across the ring, and set a fighting stance. Unfortunately, Nelson had set his stance infront of the ring post, not Wolgast. Ref stopped fight.

Posted By: Jon CanfieldScott - Thanks for the kind words. I purchased the Wagner last night from a fellow board member and I agree with you 100% - I thought the card looked very very nice and am happy to have it in my set! The back is as clean as the front - NO paper loss and no markings! I felt that this Wagner truly epitomizes "buying the card, not the holder"! - Jon www.jonathancanfield.com

Posted By: howardScott, I just noticed the Papke card. Nice. An interesting bit of trivia is that both he and Ketchel were later shot to death. Ketchel was shot, I think, when still in his boxing prime and Papke shot his ex-wife and himself after he was washed up. Howard

Posted By: david levinProbably not the place for it, but I contacted this idiot: partrus2 ( 2242) who sold this lot, and now probably feels like a fool after I let him know that he probably lost thousands by ending his auction early. Not a graduate of auctions 101. He is now lying and says he ended the auction early to get them graded or authenticated. He initially told me he sold them to a local dealer, I guess Martin Neal is that lucky recipient. here is the link to the auction: <a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=8774041450&sspagename=ADME:B:AAQ:US:1" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=8774041450&sspagename=ADME:B:AAQ:US:1</a>
