Love the T207 Speaker, Steve!

One of my favorite cards of him...and quite tough too.

In fact, I really enjoy all of the Boston American T207 cards.

Cheers,
Blair

Two Detroit Rookies

Two additions to a Detroit Mt. Rushmore of rookies. (I realize one is woefully out of place on this thread. Sorry.)

Signed Grove Goudey
 
Am super thrilled about adding this gorgeous signed card to my collection. I don't normally go after the signed Goudeys, but I have a soft spot in my heart for Lefty Grove, who has always been one of my favs. I've been looking out for a clean signature on the Goudey for years.

Who are your others? Bobby Layne or Barry Sanders? Dave Bing or Isiah Thomas?

This just arrived today - been wanting to find one for years, but budget, other interests, and timing always seemed to get in the way

Pretty solid for the grade, which 2.5 is on point

Nothing spectacular here but my first Old Judge.

pretty spectacular in my opinion! Nice clarity/contrast on that OJ (despite the grade). I'd prefer one of these over an EX example w/ light contrast!

Bill77 12-21-2016 09:49 AM

I agree that Old Judge is amazing.

ruth-gehrig 12-21-2016 10:08 AM

Well thanks guys! :) What did draw me to this card was the same clarity I pursue on action shot photographs. And as you can probably guess the grade is due to back damage.

I concur with the others who posted on your Old Judge acquisition - that is a spectacular example!

oldjudge 12-21-2016 01:02 PM

Michael--Nice card. BTW, that is also Welch's scarcest pose.

This is very similar to the type of Old Judge I'm looking to acquire at some point. BEAUTIFUL front, phenomenal contrast/clarity, but a damaged back to drive the price down.

As previously stated by other members, sensational pickup. Merry Christmas!

Another nice Tom Needham T207

Couldn't resist grabbing this T207 off of eBay at a decent price. Now have 3 Tom Needham T207s...guess I'm a bit of a hoarder these days.

Love the "phat" borders on that one, Jason. Beautiful pickup.

Jobu 12-22-2016 07:05 PM

Wow, I am jealous - that card is excellent!

Exhibits get no love, but I picked up this one for not a lot of money.

DeanH3 12-22-2016 11:53 PM

These W517's are really cool. Had to pick up Ruth's counterpart. Hard to imagine but Gehrig had 184 RBI's in 1931. Ridiculous.

Thanks Jim!

I've gotten really into nice raw T206 Hall of Famers for some reason

njdunkin1 12-26-2016 09:47 AM

Great pickups, Cole. Those T206s have strong eye appeal.


This Crandall I have been hunting since the 24th of August, and it finally turned up at a price I could afford. Jumbo borders and oversized cards are always up my alley :)

The Tenney is another card I have been looking for, but could never find. Mr. Scott G offered me this one at a price I couldn't say no to. Thank you Mr. G!
Merry Christmas everyone!

Do you have any idea when this photo was taken or when the caption was written? I'm curious because the Tigers didn't play New York in the Series, they played St. Louis. The Cardinals passed the Giants on the final weekend. :confused:

Jobu 12-26-2016 02:23 PM

Nice cards - the Tenney is the "broken Y" version to boot.

Got 2 cards for Christmas. The Howell is from my uncle and the Brain from my dad. Very blessed to have family that respects my hobby interests.

I'm not sure if I agree with Dean's Cards' grade on the Howell (I think it's more of a 2), but oh well. Still a great card/gift.

...No specific date stamp....seems to be a prep piece, a sports department heads-up....1934 was a hell of a year to listen to and follow baseball...

Great cards, but just a reminder that Hal Chase, although a great player and interesting subject to collect, is not a Hall of Famer.

Nice Leon! I was watching that one too. Looks great.

December has been a banner month. First Dave Davenport and now Mal Eason!
Been looking for those two for about 25 years. Now what to do with the 15 other teams. Just love these mini W601's

Seems 2016 is ending in a flurry or Red Borders for me. This is a big one for finishing off my Series 5 set. Finally landed it! Thanks Matt for the great transaction.

Congrats on the Series 5 and 8, Jason!

Kyle, Jason, thank you for the comments. It was a great 2016 for my collection and I hope that was the case for you gentlemen as well. Jason, I like the Mayo. B/W cards are kind of my thing and I could see me jumping on that set if/when the Red Borders slow for me. Great pickups everyone!

C-mack 12-29-2016 08:43 PM

Got my last buys in the mail today! Here's a group shot of all my Dec pick ups

I'm sure Jan will be alot slower lol but I'm pretty pleased with what I got so far

KMayUSA6060 12-30-2016 06:15 AM

Goodness C-Mack! Did you have naked pictures of Mrs. Clause or something, and Santa wanted to drop these off a little after Christmas on a special trip? Well done! Great December, and phenomenal way to finish off 2016!
