2nd Cobb - Polar Bear
 

Polar Bear

3rd time's a..... Cycle?
 

Cycle that looks like it was run over by more than a cycle.

I've always been a sucker for cheap Hookers :D

Great start in August, keep'em coming!

national pickups
 

I got a pretty good variety of stuff from the National. Knocked a few things off my list, upgraded a few, and picked up some random impulse items. I was especially happy to get the Oxford Confectionery Grimes because I almost missed it hiding under another card...

Ebay pick up.

Happy to find these...

So, it was you! Great pick ups. I kept getting skunked on all those, from the series 3s to the 8s. There were a bunch of great cards. Nice! :)

Matt, as a new Polar Bear collector I say "bravo!" Someday....

T shirt idea
 

Why is there no a shirt that has a picture of a T206 Shag and Bock on it that says. "Always looking for a good Shag or a cheap Hooker" ?

That is genius !!!!!!!

Thanks so much Jason for this upgrade!!

......and thanks AJ for all the assistance!

I'd been planning to wait until my T205 set was closer to completion to pick up a Cobb, but couldn't help but pounce on this one:

Love the variety and layout

That would make a nice poster!

First Ever card with a Stamp......... Anyone know if this was from a specific collector or just another random stamp ???

T210 Upgrade
 

Picked up this blazer Lucia T210 from David Bryan on eBay which arrived today.

I have upgraded this card twice. Tough to improve on this one!

Josh, great pick up with the stamp...love it! Can't identify if it has any provenance tho :(

Patrick, great looking red border! I've bought a lot from David Bryan in the past...he is a top notch dude in this great hobby of ours.

Happy to have picked up this tough pose for a great price

Expecting this one to arrive tomorrow or Saturday. The E104 thread sent me on a mission. :)

Love that one, nice pick up!!

Thanks Leon!

Ok, I know it is just a common, but it is my first T206 that I actually have in hand. I am excited and just had to share! I have purchased 4 others from fellow board members (all Polar Bears) that should be here in the next day or two. Don't worry I won't subject you to several more posts of individual commons...I will wait until I get the other 4 together. Five down and only 245 to go to make the Polar Bear run happen. :D

Nice Dots Robert!

Thanks, Luke!

T216 VE Doyle Throwing...
 

Nice cards this month, y'all.
I found an auction house that was selling some baseball cards tonight...I managed to get this one...

Bfatw
 

Baseball from around the World::::::::::::

Cool cards. That South African one really pops.

Henry Johnsons and W514s from Leon/Heritage, D304 from Bob Lemke. This is the exact card that was photographed for the D304 entry in the Standard Catalog, which I think is pretty cool.

Heritage pick ups
 

Thanks Leon. Also, that E104-1 Collins is awesome!

Picked this up from MattyC!! What a great card!

Thanks to Luke Lyon and Scott Gross, I am on my way with Polar Bear backs. I now have a whopping 5. My first one was graded. After receiving these, I am not so sure that I don't love them more ungraded and natural. I'm sure I will have graded and ungraded as I go but there's just something about them outside of the slab...

Beautiful! Congrats!

Heritage pick up
 

I picked up this Exhibit from Leon's auction yesterday. Thank you Leon!

I love this card. It features a young Dimaggio at the start of his career and Gehrig wrapping his up. Kind of a Yankee Passing of the Torch card. I'm not sure if they share any other cards during both of their playing years. Anyone know of any others?

Thanks Leon:
 

I was able to pick up this magnificent trio from Leon's Type Card Auction:

The 1904 WG2 Fan Craze Eddie Plank is my second different Plank card;


The 1923 WG7 Walter Mails Game - Walter Johnson is my second 'Double-Walter' from this set (the other being Mr. Mails himself);


The 1904 Allegheny Card Co. - Joe McGinnty is my sixth Allegheny and my first Hall-of-Famer from this one-of-one set.

Thanks again - Leon

Nice Walter.

Go ahead...anyone...try to follow Brad up, I dare you! Beautiful pickups, Brad...just sick!!!:eek:

Robert...nice Polar Bears! My second T206 was Dots Miller. For some reason, Dots loves to break the ice in beginner's collections :cool: Good luck moving forward!

Love the Texas Leaguers. Couldn't find these in Texas when I was a kid. Thanks EBay(and Frank)

Thanks Mike!

Thanks Robert and Sean. So happy to have that card in my collection.

Nice Bescher Rob !!!! I almost popped on that one. Polar Bears are the best !!! And a double name too boot ! Still don't have a double named card.
:rolleyes:

Great card Blair and a beauty to boot.
I hope you are well.

Nothing even close. Killer pick-up!
