March Pickups....

[bcbgcbrcb]

Great stuff, Derek, especially the Jackie!

[h2oya311]

Thanks David and Phil! I've been filling quite a few holes lately. I'm up to 66.7% complete using a broader definition of HoF "rookie" cards and 49.67% (149/300) for my ideal "single-player image" rookie collection.

I still have a long way to go, but those four certainly helped!

[HOF Auto Rookies]

It has been quite a year so far, might be coming close to topping last year, which I did not think was possible. Besides the Mantle signed rookie, I just got these 6:

[T206Collector]

Happy to bring one of my first ever signed T206s back into my collection. Welcome back, Paddy!

Nice card, Jake. Weren't those previously listed as a 1909 issue?

[deadballfreaK]

This isn't a card and maybe not so valuable, but I was happy to pick it up. Page from a Providence newspaper featuring an amazing pitching duel. Not sure why the famous (infamous) Lefty Williams is called "Cy". The game was played in less than three hours! Johnson had a big hit in the 18th to contribute to the lone run. At the bottom of the page is a small article about how the White Sox are missing Joe Jackson's bat. WWI was ongoing and Jackson was working in a shipyard to avoid the draft. http://www.baseball-reference.com/bo...91805150.shtml

A beauty of a '2' and a much needed upgrade for the set. Thanks Doug on B/S/T.

Yes, but with the recent discovery of the Phili team it was easy to figure out they are now 1913.

[Jlighter]

Thanks guys.

Here's the auction description for the year change.

Thanks Jeff, it has a small bit of paper loss on the reverse which made it affordable for me. I will take that anyday....

Another pain-free BST transaction. Thx Rob D.

[Robextend]

A couple pickups from Joe's Vintage Auctions:

[Jason Carota]

[Jason]

Another one from last week.

Nice haul of HRK's, Bob. Are you working on a set?

[darwinbulldog]

One BST pick-up (thanks to Steve P.) and one football card from the 'bay, purchased because on this card Donovan bears a disconcertingly strong resemblance to my late grandfather

[Big Six]

My 35th and 36th...love the centering on these...

[Jantz]

Nice pick-ups Everyone!

This one arrived in the mail today courtesy of B&L Auctions.

Thanks, yes I am working on the HRKs and T210s right now since I hit the wall on the E94 master set and D311 set.

[Bunker]

[Robextend]

Picked up a toughie for my set:

[Cardboard Junkie]

"Bonehead" Merkle

[teetwoohsix]

Great stuff everyone !!!

Jantz, nice Chase double name

I'm again sizing these down hoping they present a little better, BVG scans come out the worst for me (I can't wait to get a new scanner ):

Thank you Mike (freakhappy) for this beautiful blue Chase portrait
BVG 2.5 (looks even nicer)
Thank you Jantz for this Livingstone SGC 50 (awesome card )

It was a pleasure dealing with both of you !!!

*whoa, sorry-I don't know how that happened

[jimivintage]

A couple more for the HOF collection!

[bcbgcbrcb]

Very nice Doerr RC, Jimi.

[sycks22]

I like the odd stuff! - Thanks Eric!

[Jason]

Thank you to the fellow board member for two new additions and a pleasant transaction.

[Vintagecatcher]

I upgraded my Stanley Graham C46.

[Bunker]

I have recently started to collect T206's again (third time) I picked these up this month on the bst and ebay.

(I posted these earlier, but the images didn't show...trying again)

[I Only Smoke 4 the Cards]

Thanks to the board member who helped me get these. I am now over the half century mark.

[familytoad]

I thought I'd celebrate my 500th post with some of the latest familytoad incomings.

T204 Collins courtesy of B & L auctions
E96 Mack, E210-2 York Caramel Sisler and Goslin ,T205 Schlei, and T206 Marquard just came back from a big SGC submission. I've had Marquard close to 20 years. Nice, eh?

[CW]

Congrats, Brian! Nice numerical determination by SGC on your Rube, and that's a sharp, clean image on the T204.

Haming it up over here.
