You can never have too many T215 Pirates cards, Ryan. And I agree that the ones traded don't hold a candle. Here is a catcher with 2 gloves on..

Great pick up Ryan. Do you know anything about it's history? It wasn't in the group of five that were sold by REA back in 2013, but it looks like them. They all looked like they could grade around a PSA 7, but they were all hand cut. This one appears to be the same. We speculated at the time that the original owner (who was rumored to be Edward Wharton-Tyger) may have obtained them directly from the factory due to their NM condition. We thought it unlikely that they were obtained in Manilla and brought back to the States without any damage.

Anyway, great card.

Love those Pirate cards...very nice.

Thanks guys. Sean, I really don't know much on this card, other than what I can glean from VCP (more about that in a minute). It sold in Goodwin in 2010 and again in REA's Spring 2017 auction. It is not one of the ones that sold in 2013, like my chance or your Merkle, and it is not as nice/clean - this Wagner has a crease in one corner and a knit next to his face on right; but it's real pretty nonetheless. The guy I got it from said he got it as part of a large collection purchase.

Regarding VCP - they are not showing my purchase of the t215 chance earlier this year. I contacted them and even sent them link to the auction, but still nothing. I like VCP, but under these circumstances, I think it's irresponsible for them to not post a transaction of this nature that they have been made aware of. VCP, you blew this one. Fix it Please.

To the best of my knowledge you are the only person other than Richard Masson to own more than one Pirate. :)

Well that's something. Now I just need a catcher with two gloves!! (Cool card Leon).

If only he and Kiki Cuyler got along:

Another T205 catcher
 

Received this Louis Criger T205 earlier today.

Another player that played for the Red Sox and later for the Yankees.

Might be the first Yankee card in my collection.

This card is a direct result of the "help out" thread, that sadly has faded away.

I can not thank Brian P. for contacting me about this needed card for my mid-tier set. :):):):):)

Not only is it GREAT to add this very tough combo to my set, I have to say Brian is an A1 great guy !!!! He didn't accept my original offer, BUT countered with an offer half of mine !!!!!! You can't beat that !!!! :):):):)


Fun stuff, Scott :rolleyes:

My last pickups of 2017. Got all these in the last 2 days. Pretty excited about Baugh. Ever since I met him in the early 2000s, I've wanted to get his RC. Will go nice beside the autograph football I have of him.
