Awesome either way.

I'm guessing a 14 as the stain is a good Indicator. Sweet card!

Pete, I would get a big kick ( and so would Kevin) if you would post this card at every opportunity...like Leon's Young

[ullmandds]

Its a circulated 15'.

I don't think this is a big deal. A lot of folks post cards on the Pickup threads that they plan to sell immediately. As long they don't explicitly say in the Pickup thread that "hey, and this card is for sale for $X" then it's A okay with me.

I think it would be better if the pickup thread was reserved for collecting. It just feels wrong to post cards that you don't like enough to keep right after someone posts a card they are really excited to get. I never post cards that I am planning to sell, and I think pretty much everyone else does the same. It seems like it is already an unwritten rule.

Thanks, Pete, no, but it may be the most difficult card to find of the 3 with the P 42 back...Rob

[Edwolf1963]

Sold the set-complete (520 of 524, minus "big 4") a few years ago. Collecting the E93 thru E98 but it's a slow process, got bored so started acquiring some of these back again in dupes, trips and then some

Raw seen here, many graded as well. Some acquired in April, most all late last year and YTD

Here's a C. 1930's Bobby Veach Coal Company Ad Card with Ty Cobb, Bobby Veach & Sam Crawford

[Luke]

That is incredibly cool JB!

[edjs]

So, I know some of you guys don't take a shine to beaters, but to me, these are some of the best cards I own. When I first started collecting, I thought I could never get an example of either of these two. Yet here they are. Funny, I was reading an old thread, and someone was describing a Demmitt with writing on the front, and right after that I found this one, and thought, "Well, it doesn't bother me too much." I think it is the nicest Demmitt I've seen for (barely) under $1K in the last two years. And I love this Cobb image, maybe I will be able to get the T216 Cobb leaning on bat someday after all!

[buymycards]

I found this T213-2 that is miscut top to bottom and has a little bit of Zimmerman, Chicago Nat. on top.

Very proud to have my very own 33 Ruth. Started with the red one. I think I will go for the full standing pose next when my bank account recovers.

[yanksfan09]

Great Ruth there!

[ajjohnsonsoxfan]

Aaron wow that's a nice Ruth! Super strong 4.5.

I'm working on the T206 HOF portraits in 2-4 grade. Got these guys today...

That's a really nice 149 Ruth. Been looking for one like that for a while.

I agree, Ed! Congrats on a nice pickup!

I watch that exact Demmitt for a long time!! Glad it ended up in good hands!!!

[edjs]

Thanks, Steve and David.

April Pick-ups. For some reason, started collecting Exhibits all of a sudden.

[WillowGrove]

Nice cards Sam! You have a good eye.

+1 Great cards. I love the 21 Exhibit set!

Very happy to add this postcard (RPPC) to the collection. The card is georgous in hand, only minor blemish is small light right upper corner crease. Image is very sharp and glossy. I know it's in Lemke's book as 1920's PC, and mentions the #210 and how he's seated in cane chair etc... Just curious if anyone had anymore info on this PC if it may be part of a series? Maybe something to do with the movies? Would love to hear any ideas on origin. Guesses on year(s) etc...

[kdixon]

Picked up this Old Mill Wheat. It's a beater but I didn't have one. Hopefully can upgrade to a better one.

Hi Erick, nice pickup! I have one very similar to yours, but with just a slightly different back. Unfortunately, I can't add anymore than that.

[yanksfan09]

Very nice Gary. That's interesting with the different back, thanks for the post!

Also, a few upgrades...

Except Joey (hi Joey) has been warned multiple times for soliciting offers to buy, sell or trade on this board after promising not to, in order to be allowed back. He is not allowed on our BST forums for a reason (actually many reasons if I recall correctly). He had many selling and trading issues some time ago.
Granted it's been a few years but it seems the ban is still necessary. In essence he is skirting the rule in order to generate interest to sell things. At least that is the way it looks to me.

ps...I should add, otherwise in ordinary cases I agree with you 100%

[MikeGarcia]

...This one may be a tough sell to The WidowGarcia....from a " barely 'Fair' " to a solid "Fair".....in my opinion , by replacing a card with wrinkles on the face and horrid corners with one which has oh okay a few faint stains but now the wrinkle is 'way over on the neck and the corners are really decent ( for a fair card )......right about here is where I started babbling " homina homina homina ".

Poor man's T206

[DeanH3]

Nice Plank Greg. That's one sharp card!

[tbob]

I've never understood why more pre-war collectors don't collect the Sweet Caporal Domino Discs (PX7). This was an especially tough one for me in trying to complete the set but I found it and bought it this week.
