O.K., so I'm really pushing it, but the Nov. thread is getting rather large, and when this came in the mail today, it was like an early Christmas. Just the second one I've seen with an Old Mill back, and it doesn't just have a tape stain, it still has the tape stuck to it! |

So much for Leon's suggestion that we let pickup threads go to 70 or 80 posts before starting a new one. On the bright side, at least the old one made it a full 7 days. |

I couldn't pass up on this T212 since I wanted a 2nd batting pose card of a catcher to balance my display. For $29.99 and free shipping, it was a no brainer! (Both batting cards of catchers happen to be Northwest League players.) |

Jim Byrnes was born on Monday, January 5, 1880, in San Francisco, California. Byrnes was 26 years old when he broke into the big leagues on April 19, 1906, with the Philadelphia Athletics. Jim played 10 games as a catcher and that was it. |

The sig looks like Tom but I checked out the full roster for the 06 Athletics and there is no Tom. So I'm stumped. Not even sure it's a teammate as he refers to "your" old teammates not "our". Guess it is one of those mysteries that will never be solved. |

Thanks, Josh - it was an eBay purchase, actually - the auction closed Friday night. I don't have the card in hand, but I was too giddy about it and had to post it. Same with the Mayos. |

Are those Mayo's counting as new additions to your 50? If so, you've got some tough choices to make! |

the only cards I collect now are the t206s once owned by Howe McCormick, 500 W. Main St., Gainesville, Fla. This is the 27th I've been able to purchase since May 07. There are 9 others I know exist, but either missed on eBay before I began my focused collection, or belong to collectors who need an exact replacement before they will trade. Currently looking for Hindu backs on Schmidt and Killian (both throwing) to complete trades. If you or anyone has some with this stamp that you would be willing to part with, please let me know. |

I was thinking of replacing my common Cocoa type with the HOFer I won last night, but now I'm not so sure since it looks part of Hartsel is showing on the Crawford border. Kind of a companion piece. How cool is that? |

Dave - talk about some harsh grading - that Coombs has got to be one of the nicest 1.5s I've ever seen. |

The Coombs is no doubt very nice. However, I dont think the grade is inappropriate - there is some minor paper loss in the middle of the card on the reverse and there appears to be a crease/wrinkle on the upper left side of the front. Paperloss + crease + rounded corners that are consistent with what you would see on a 40 level card will net you a 10 or 20 every time. If the card looked like this on the front and had minor paperloss, then I'd agree it was undergraded: |

Josh is right...the paperloss on the Coombs is in the middle on the back, and then there is that slight crease near the top left border on the front. Probably accurately graded, but yes, I have seen 30's in the same shape. Either way I'm happy with it, tough card in the set. |

In fact, although there may be slightly too much paperloss, I think the apparently ungraded Bridwell that Dave posted has a better shot at a 30 since it is crease free and has much sharper corners. |

Josh the Bridwell is unfortunately trimmed. It is nice to deal with honest sellers most of the time that do and say the right thing. |
