Posted By: Brad Green The First April "Recent Pickup Thread" is getting long, so it's time for the Second April thread. I don't have anything new that you guys haven't already seen, but I hope everyone else will post away... Edited to add: I do have something new that you guys haven't seen. It's a check written by Lefty to the Town of Lonaconing for taxes. Lefty and I both grew up in Lonaconing. <img src="http://www.bandkgreen.net/lefty_grove/lonaconing_net54.jpg">

Posted By: Tim NewcombThanks to a fine gentleman who posted here: four of the "phantom" uncataloged Gold Medal cards I reported on in the first segment of the R313-R314 Old Cardboard article. Here are two: <img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1145311958.JPG"> <img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1145311999.JPG">

Posted By: fkwHi Tim, Wonder if you can tell me if this Cochrane I recently picked up is a R314D?? I read your great article in the curent Old Cardboard Magazine. I havent seen the card in person yet, but from the checklists the only set this card could be from is the much rarer R314D. Also are the Minor Leaguers any scarcer than the Detroit players in the "D" subset? <img src="http://centuryoldcards.com/images/r314dcochrane.jpg"> Frank

Posted By: JimBWesley, Nice Kelly! Josh, That Joss is overgraded. <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14> JimB P.S. Is there a lot of back damage? That is a very nice looking 2, regardless of the back.

Posted By: Josh K.Hey Jim, Yes - there is some damage due to scrapbook removal. The front of the card is a solid EX at worst. Unfortunately, I believe when/if I cross it over to SGC, the card will drop another grade. Its a great looking card regardless.

Posted By: Jon CanfieldWill, Your pack is a candy cigarette pack - not a cigarette pack. So, there is no stamp on it! They are not related to the American Tobacco Company but borrowed the ATCo's graphics. They are from the same time period as the the cards (1907-1915 - somewhere in there). I always thought they were really really cool items and I also own one. Bought it two years ago on eBay for around $20-25. It's in nice condition.

Posted By: MikeI Love the tattoo's Pete. When you hold one in your hand (without the plastic shield) they are light as a feather. It is amazing "ANY" of them show up in grade 5 or better. Let alone in the nice condition you found them in. Nice catch !!

Posted By: James GalloI was extremely happy to get this key card and add it to my set. <img src="http://www.thetoyheaven.com/images/items/cjmathewsonfront.jpg"> I got this baby and it started me down the path of another set <img src="http://www.thetoyheaven.com/images/items/bbc1909jacksonfront.jpg"> I think these sets are enough for me right now, although I am close on the 1915 CJ set, I have to upgrade some of the really beat cards. Man I missed cards a lot. Tons of great stuff shown above. James Gallo
