A beauty in an old slab and no one new it. Anyone know of any others with Piedmont 150 back? Here's my list:
Bowerman
Chance (Portrait, Red)
Clarke (Pittsburg, Portrait)
Elberfeld (Portrait, New York)
Gilbert
Overall (Portrait)
Shaw (St. Louis)
Weimer
Young (Bare Hand Shows)

Picked these up at the national.

Didn't he have a park named after him?
 

Even a Cub fan can appreciate this one

Thanks again Dr. Steen!

A couple more EPDGs from my buddy Jeff. And I don't know why I bought the Konetchy, but it is such a beauty I couldn't resist. This week keeps getting better!

Sorry for the crumby picture !!

Not vintage photos, but one of the under--appreciated group of players, 1919-25 St Louis Browns outfield of Ken Williams, Baby Doll Jacobson and Jack Tobin. Going to put together some type of display(8x12 photos), not exactly sure what yet

Some recent pickups (including some from The National), the 29 Gomez and 28 Averill are upgrades...

The last one isn't anything special to non-Zeenut guys but it is a very tough card. In the 1927 checklist you will see two versions of the Ralph Shinners card, one with the normal "27" date on front and another with "1927" (which is the only card in the set like that). The "1927" is one that I had never seen before. Happy to get it.

Nice group of Zeenuts, Rhett. Ever come across the '15 Coveleski?

Ok, this is my first T206 EVER and my first effort at beginning my quest at collecting the Polar Bear backs for starters. This might be a shade lower grade than most of the rest I will buy as I go along, but I couldn't pass this up! Can't wait for it to arrive! Thanks, Luke!

Best-looking Johnson 1 I've ever seen. Does it have a back?

Nice photos. You might be able to find autographs of those three to mat with the photos

Honey Boy
 

Not the best scan, but a super cool (Ice Cream;)) card...

Yes , it has some paper loss though.

Robert....
 

Congrats!!!! great choice sir.:).....plus a partial 2 namer.....

polar bears backs are great:cool:..............

keep 'em coming!

"Some paper loss!" That's it? So because of that, your card gets the same grade as one that was run over by a monster truck in a septic tank runoff field. Congratulations to you, owner of the greatest proof I've ever seen of the adage, "Buy the card, not the holder."

That Heilmann is incredible Brian! Never seen that issue before.

Love it

Great cards everyone.

Rhett- nice pick up on the Arbuckle. One of my favorite Zeenuts for sure.

http://www.starsofthediamond.com/19zeearbuckle.jpg

I was originally looking for cards, but nothing was coming up for Tobin. His autograph can be had and so can Jacobson, but Williams is pricey. Died in 1959, first 30/30 player gives him popularity and rareness. If I could get one at a reasonable price, then I'd just pick up the other two

That is a fun one - nice cards both of you! I wish it wasn't so pricey, my dad called me Fatty Arbuckle when I was a baby so it would be fun to get.

Slug Heilmann
 

Thanks Luke, it may not be a multi K :D:D but I like it.

It should present better in the black slab, so it's being readied for a tomb.
Pretty rare issue, and since its a HOF, it's in my wheelhouse.

Great August pickup thread so far , guys. With the national and some great AH offerings, this thread could be a real stunner this month:eek:

Rhett - Great talking with you in Chicago. Love the Fatty.
Brian - Nice pickup on the Heilmann. Its a great card. Congrats!

Thanks Mark!
I know you have one, and I guess a handful others are out there not many.

But the kudos from you and your outstanding collection are greatly appreciated.
Yours is a similar vein...HOFers in as many different sets as possible.
Heck, anything is possible:p

Very happy to pick up these difficult cards that I've been looking for a while. For the 1926 Exhibits, I believe this is finally the correct color tint in the right holder and not mislabeled like many of these are.

Being a Pittsburgh collector, I could not pass up getting all these through one auction.....thanks LOTG:

I always thought the exhibits with the info in the box were 1925 and without the box were 1926

Congrats Gary, that was my consignment and its definitely a 1926.

On the 1925 vs 1926, some 1926 have the box some do not, the main way to tell them apart is the blue tint.

Nice group of OJs!!

Mickey LaLonge 1910 Obak (150 Subjects)
 

Picked up this nice Mickey LaLonge 1910 Obak (150 Subjects) from David Levin. The added bonus was I didn't have this slogan ad back.

Thanks again David!

Now need just a Hap Hogan (150 Subjects) to complete my "catcher card" run in this subset.

Patrick

Thanks Luke!!

Thanks, Scott, I am very happy to pick these cards up.

Dan, there was a discussion on 1925 vs 1926 Exhibits in these links: Link1 and Link2

Welcome to the club !!! Now you're hooked.

Still scouring the auctions and ebay for the remaining color variation E94s but in the mean time I decided to make another run at completing the real monster, the T210 set (less Jackson and Stengel). Picked these off eBay from David B. and filled a few holes.

Pinhole in the cheek but the right price.............

Pair of, what appear to be, hand cut T206 HOFers. Duffy is more dramatic but Flick has a definite bow cut on the large border side.

Wild cards!!!! they have to be hand cut from a sheet:D

Purchased recently
 

Its been a while ...

3 pick ups
 

I was going to bid on Leon's E222 Shag... It is getting too rich for my blood so I made a few purchases to ease the pain. If I can't afford to work on the Shag collection(I did pick up a great Shag postcard off of the BST)These 3 bring my Red Cobb back run to 4. :)

I picked this up off of the BST. Great card. I really like the slight off register that makes him look like he is looking up.
