it is a double name... Abbaticchio at top

That's pretty cool. Thanks for the info. Does that mean anything towards collectibility or desirability?

I would say no. If there is a significant portion of the (Same) name, there are some that will pay a premium. If it's a different name, even a sliver, there will be a premium.

New arrivals, Misters Red Ames (portrait), Harry McIntyre (Brooklyn) and Chief Myers (batting). Thanks again, Tom!

Nice T206 pickups Bill. I have always really liked the Bergen batting pose, it was my second T206 and remains one of my favorites.

One more portrait added this month. Pretty excited about this one

From a fellow board member. Thanks Brad!

Got this in today
Polar bear back

Wow, some very nice stuff here that is for sure

T205 Carrigan
 

Picked up a T205 Bill Carrigan to go with the Carrigan S74 silk I recently picked up.

Of the many cards I love in '49 Bowman, this is probably only second to the Paige for me. The pose, the colors, almost like an Andy Warhol. An Andy Warhol Andy Seminick! Got it in the mail today

OT, but Andy Warhol is buried about a mile from where I live.

Brian, very cool...I wonder if people leave Campbell's soup, in addition to flowers, over there :)

They certainly do as well as imitation purses and bags and a lot of other junk. I hate to rain on the parade, but I thought he was only technically good. I never thought much of his art. I always thought he was a twentieth century art version of PT Barnum.

Another late scanning of late August pickups - these are from a board member with help from an esteemed moderator.:):) Thank you both.

While each one has an issue or three, the color, registration and eye appeal is generally really good... these scans don't do them justice.

Mostly Broadleaf backs, with a couple of Anonymous ones.

Patrick, his face looks so much more intense on the S74 than the T205 card!

Yeah, fair enough. Its a taste thing, in the end. I'm not a big Warhol fan, but I do like certain things he did. Ever see his Tom Seaver in Cooperstown?

T207 Saier
 

Thanks Dan! Only one Cub left to go. Can you guess which one?

I found this old baseball cabinet of Thomas J. Donovan. He made it to the bigs in 1901. This cabinet would have been from his 1887-1888 seasons with the Meriden Bulldogs in the Connecticut State League.

I love looking thru all these pickups.

Jon, You outbid me on the double name Abbaticchio. The MC makes them a little more affordable.

Glad it worked out Mike. I knew the other person would be in good hands.

Louie,

I believe I saw it. Still, I just never got into his work.

Now, back to the subject at hand. Cards. One of my favorite team:

Here's a 1944 Radio Scorecard that features the St.Louis Cardinals lineup on one side and the St Louis Browns lineup on the other. A neat oddball item that includes Stan Musial!

One of my favorite poses and backs! Great card!

Thanks wazooooooooooooooooooo

.

Jeff:

Great early Musial piece.

Mike awesome stuff. Nicw chance Brian

Thank you, Danny.

Haven't added anything for four months but finally found one of these that I like.

Thanks, Danny.

I'm also a big fan of that Chance, Brian - love that there are a number of stars that finished off their career in one form or another in the PCL.

A few colored S74s and another E101
 

These three arrived today:

a Fred Payne S74 , a Jimmy Archer S74, and a Red Dooin E101 with blazing colors.

Thanks Todd - I am now up to 30 Mendelsohn's with this one...

Nice card Chris. As they say, parting is such sweet sorrow.

Great image on that Fletcher!

hmmm....

email sent Scott :-)

Chris - you know I doctored the photo (added the M101-6 lettering, modified the coloring to match the card).

The photo itself is an original 1917 Mendelsohn print - 4.75 x 6.5, shown unadulterated on the Memorabilia side.

That Holke is wonderful. Hold off if you can Scott, if only for awhile, as Chris is relentless. Makes Red from "The Blacklist" look like a piker.

Thanks Todd - here is the actual scan of the print.

Ha Scott I knew it was a photo but I didn't catch the doctoring- I am still interested in it! I got skunked on a couple that were auctioned in a Hyee listing and I missed a couple others. I want one of those photos more than I want another actual m101-6...

Joe Harris

Just verified that this is also a Mendelsohn - it's glued to a mount which I have separated enough to see Mendelsohn's stamp on the verso. Probably also 1917

You are killin me Scott...

me too. Scott, don't know if you're aware that Holke is one of the very few m101-6s that shows him captioned with two teams, although the same photo was used. That photo was taken when he was with the Giants, not the Braves.

I don't know anything about M101's - I just collect photos and Mendelsohn was one of the better photographers. But thanks for that information.

Just finished removing the photo from a more modern mount - here's the stampings on the verso - you can see where there used to be a Sporting News archive stamp, which someone removed so that the photo would lie flat on the mount (it's thin and curls). The Holke has Mendelsohn's embossment at the lower right - no stamps on the back.

Got a brown sleeves Abby off the bay.

'52 Topps Jackie
 

Obviously not pre-war, but a significant pick-up for me nonetheless. Thanks Pete!

Awesome card Dan, congrats! I feel scans don't do this one justice, as compared with holding it in hand and having that bright red jump out at you.
