December Pickups

[Sean]

Wait, Abner Doubleday's obituary says he didn't like outdoor sports?

[Vintagecatcher]

Congrats Steve on the twins! I happen to be one myself!

Picked up another T207 catcher, Henry Severoid. He's my 20th T207 catcher.

It's super clean. None of the marks are on the card in the brown background..just a bad scan.

2 christmas presents from my brother. I think the bender came from sean bassik so one is from a fellow board member.

Happy to add this one to my purple set. Thanks Darrin!

( Purple E94 Red Kleinow )

No Problem Pete! That's a great card! Glad it went to you!

Nice Ruth Brian. Did you buy that today taking advantage of eBay bucks offer ? I just got one too and used the ebay bucks offer on top of a seller discount. It's one of my favorite Ruth cards. Just a great early shot of the Babe's face. Tough card to find outside of the few usual way overpriced ones on the bay.

My first E107, from a board member. Little rough but I wanted an example from this issue.

[sniffy5]

Some 1914's I picked up. I'm thrilled!

[Sean]

Great pick-ups Steve! Gonna be hard to top those in 2015!!

[frohme]

Bookends, sort of.

The month started off with a couple of T207 posts and other than Patrick's catcher(s) there were few if any others. Figured I'd add one at the end of the month to come full circle. Some of these were December pickups, some December grading, and one as far back as August (though I'd have sworn it was November).

Some Recruit-backs that are tough for the grade
 


some Recruits that can be tough in any grade ...
 
 

One Broadleaf, one Anonymous, and a Cycle
 


 
A pair of Napoleons (one back, one front)
 


 
and finally one Recruit that completes the Factory 240 subset, 8 years and 5 months after I unknowingly started it....
 


I suspect that could have been reworded to the tune of "a partridge in a pear tree", but so be it.

Many end-of-the year thanks, to Pete, Scott, Ron, Bill, John, Mac, and everyone else that has helped out along the way.

Hope you all have a great New Year!

Nice group of cards Mike!

[Vintagecatcher]

Mike,

Very nice group of T207s!

The red on Tom Clarke's cap really pops!

I'm looking forward to picking up some more T207 in 2015. I'm even restoring an ornate mahagany bookcase to house just T207s. Hope to complete the project by late spring.

Happy New Year!
