new Jim Thorpe addition
 

I just love this image of Thorpe...

Agreed!

Great card, lousy sticker. What would be so tough about taking a picture of the card and putting it on an accompanying COA letter?

I had a beater E91 McBride auto that had the sticker. I peeled it off. Left a little oval of empty space on the back, but was better than having that damn sticker on it.

There is a strip card with this same image that is extremely hard to find. I saw one on eBay years ago in a lot that didn't have it labeled and I missed out on it. I haven't seen another since.

Here's a scan of the strip card...

Thanks for posting a picture of the Thorpe strip card, Andy. Very cool item. I read about it, but have yet to see one for sale. Do you happen to remember what it went for?

Hi Jeff,

I think the whole lot that the strip card was included with went for around $50 total. It was a total steal for whoever won it. I missed the end of the auction and was so bummed.

Damnit Paul, now I want that McBride :)

Picked this up. Got it for such a cheap price, that I am tempted to flip it, even though I need it for my complete Sport Kings set...

Gorgeous Cobb!

T202 Meyers/Matty
 

Picked up this T202 which I had seen previously at the National. It will be a nice complement to the other Meyers T202 that I got on the B/S/Trade thread earlier this year.

Morehouse Cobb - nice
 

Calvindog - very nice Morehouse Cobb - I had bid on this card in the recent Legendary auction - was one of the 3 cards I had my eye on. But a little much for my budget right now. It sure has top shelf centering, ahhh.

I did pick up the 1926-29 Exhibit Lou Gehrig card. Can't wait to receive it in mail

Beautiful Cobb, Jeff! Congrats!

Lots of Tough Cobbs on display...now introducing...just traded to the NY Yankees..."the babe"

Wow Pete, nice one!

Great card Pete.

Very nice Ruth, Peter!

Agreed

Great Ruth

13 more to go....

Got a nice looking bambino

I'll say, that is sweet Pete. Nice pickup.

Been kinda broke lately, so this is my only card-like pickup in a while...Dodgers team issue Pee Wee Reese.

Two Pete's, two great Ruth cards!

Cool pic of Pee Wee

Nice Babe Pete! Just picked up my first N300.......:Dx10

Very nice Pee Wee, David

Something seems a little odd about that statement, Phil!!! :eek: Thanks..You know more about these than I do. Did they use the same photo for '40 and '41? and if so, is there any way to tell the difference? This was listed as a '41, so I'll go with that for now..

Great cards everyone! I was able to pickup a beautiful t206 Chesbro from drumback, a t206 Jean Dubuc, t206 Lundgren (Kansas City) El Principe De Gales, and a t206 Kleinow which is now on the B/S/T. Scans coming tomorrow.

Impulse Buy
 

We all have them from time to time. Orange McCormick as opposed to the normal red background one. I don't normally go after color variations but couldn't resist...

Thank You, Gary:

nice pickups...bob...nice variation...pete(s)...love the ruth...great speaker...the only mayo I've owned is a fake...bought it in the eighties as a kid!!!!

Nice pickup TBob!

Glad we didn't bump heads on that McCormick.

I was watching it and was close to throwing out a bid.

Glad to see you got it!

Dave:

Here is a '40 (left) followed by a '41 (right). Your's is obviously a '40 and a Reese Rookie.

Congrats!

Awesome Phil. Thanks. For some reason, I was under the impression that they might've used the same photo for both...Glad I was wrong... Now I feel even better about the pickup.

Couple of E95's

Great Reese...piece! What a difference 1 yr makes...transformed from shy kid to confident major leaguer!!!

1913-1914 Honus Wagner RPPC
 

Nice one Jason, I knew I didn't bid enough. It's a great image of Wagner.
Congrats.

Great pick-up on the Wagner p/c, Jason.

great pc Jason...got a date on that photo?

I was wondering who forked over the big bucks for that one.

Nice photo.

Bob, I think that's the best T206 'glove' image - nice card.

Uniform database puts the pinstripe unis with P on the collar and dark hats to 1913 and 1914. So, I'd say right in there. Oh, and it's a postcard.

Thanks for all of the kudos. I think it ended about right though I had my snipe quite a bit higher. I know of two others, one being sold in Goodwin last year.

thought is went a little cheap, nice find Jason.

(I should have contacted the seller off ebay ;))

C'mon Jeff, you only do that when it's a condition upgrade and you don't REALLY need the card.........

Worth waiting for!
 

Just got this one back from PSA. I found it, bought it and submiied it at the National.

beauty of a pelty!! only took 1 1/2 months!

Rare one
