Posted By: <b>Martin Neal</b><p>Russ, those are some great t205s, especially the Mathewson and the Young!<br /><br />I love these things. This is my second B14 quilt. This one has Cobb, Johnson, two Wheats and two Stengels. This was purchased from the great grandson of the woman who made this quilt. He said that he had no one to leave it to and wanted it to be preserved. I can't wait to cut out the hall of famers and sell them on Ebay. Just kidding! This will stay in the family for a long time. By the way, is this Stengel considered his rookie card? <br /><br /><img src="http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e268/123MARTINS/DSCN1302.jpg"> <br /><br /><img src="http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e268/123MARTINS/DSCN1300.jpg"> <br /><br /><img src="http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e268/123MARTINS/DSCN1301.jpg">

Posted By: <b>Martin Neal</b><p>Bob,<br /><br />I have no idea how to display the quilt. Originally, I was going to hang it on the wall but I think it may be too large and heavy for that. That leaves a bed in the guestroom. Any suggestions?<br /><br />Martin

Posted By: <b>Joann</b><p>I have no clue how to display quilts. What a great piece. But I bet that there are many websites dedicated to the quilting hobby that would have all kinds of ways to display, and probably even pre-fab things to buy for wall hanging, etc. Maybe an ebay search would even turn up an idea or two.<br /><br />J

Third November Pick-up Thread
 

Posted By: <b>ramram</b><p>Actually, Joe's aware of it. We've been conversing about it and he's given me some additional pieces of great information. This is an example of a handful of Tomlinson cabinet photos of the Detroit champs. This one is slightly different than some of the others. One is the notation of Detroit being the "Champions" and the other item of interest is that the man sitting at lower left is Pete Conway...err...is head anyway. The original photo had Stump Weidman sitting there. Stump got bumped later in the year so Tomlinson superimposed Pete's head onto Stump's body. Pete was probably glad to be included but likely wasn't happy showing up with Stump's body.<br /><br />Rob M.

Posted By: <b>Rick</b><p>Bill, nice Goudey's. I started this set last December and so far I have picked up 80 cards, mostly commons and minor stars in G/VG, VG, or VG/EX. This is a fun set to collect, and most of the non HOF'ers can be picked up for a decent price.<br /><br />Have fun! <br />Rick<br /><br />

Posted By: <b>Joe_G.</b><p>Too funny Joann <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14>, that is a great piece Rob picked up. The November 11th Hunt auction was a gold mine for 19th century collectors interested in Deacon White material or any of the teams Deacon played for including Detroit. I had my sights set on a couple lots including #846, a collection of 4 Deacon White cabinet cards. I did win that lot and expect them to arrive soon. In the meantime, Hunt shared some scans with me.<br /><br />The following is one of my favorite poses of Deacon. The cabinet studio advertising on back is also interesting with an interesting depiction of the equipment photographers worked with during the 1880s. You can make out the camera on the tripod, a beaker, a tray, a lantern, and other smaller items.<br /><br />Most of the Fearnaught cabinet cards offered by Hunt had some light back damage, luckily my favorite pose is pretty clean.<br /><br /><CENTER><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1164591078.JPG"></CENTER><br /><CENTER><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1164591095.JPG"></CENTER><br /><br />Best Regards,<br />Joe Gonsowski
