Reached the halfway point in my mini-project. Collecting all 14 known Pirates with EPDG backs. Got these two just now in the mail from two different people. I know the Camnitz was only recently confirmed, so I figured I better buy that one despite the writing.

Awesome, John - very tough card!

That "over head" Camnitz wasn't confirmed when I stopped working on the Pirates back in 2012, as far as I know. At that time, I believed there were 15 confirmed, with only Willis, Abstein, and that Camnitz being no-shows. I did not have an image of a couple, and Clarke (fielding) was a bit of a mystery, but I thought it had been confirmed by someone (I do not have the records).

This one would bump it to at least 15 known, 16 if Clarke (fldg) is actually confirmed.

Either way, there are some tough ones in the list, but you've knocked off a big one - congrats!

I am going by T206Resource. Their checklist has 14 confirmed and it was 13 when I first put the list together, then someone found the Camnitz, so I added it. I actually decided to try for them all a year or so before I started, so that's why I only have seven now.

I got a couple nice ones in a trade(see pic below) and then decided to go for the rest. I do check their list from time to time for updates just in case. Message me if you find the checklist that says more than 14 are available so we don't clutter the May pickup thread. Thanks.

BTW, I have Gibson, Miller, Clarke/port, Maddox, Wilson, Camnitz arms folded and above head. Phillippe seems very easy, so I've passed on a few nicer ones, looking for VG range

Happy to add this Cracker Jack as an upgrade from a board member...

John,
Hows it Going.
Glad that I could Help get you started on your Mini Project. I have a few more EPDG in my Collection. I will look through them and see if I have any more Pirates. Check out the Pirate pack that I picked Up.

Mainly bought this because it relates to local baseball history. (Cad Coles played for the Kansas City Packers in 1914.)

Picked Up this full Pirates Pack with a Card at a Local Show. The Card is not Baseball related.

The Gretzky is my first SGC submission. The T206 was but for the friendly people on these boards.

Not pre-war, but I like the pose.

A couple pickups from the Robert Morris show:

[Joe_G.]

An unusual addition to my collection; wasn’t sure if I should post here or on memorabilia side. It is an antique chest that based on patents and contents within likely dates from somewhere between 1873 and 1888. I purchased it from a dealer who specializes in antique trunks and he indicated he purchased it from Detroit.

What makes it interesting is how it was decorated with some 1888 Detroit Wolverine Scrapps (or more correctly, H. D. Smith & Co Baseball Gum Die-Cuts). The seller restored the chest but left all the original décor within untouched.

The Scrapps include Bennett, Brouthers, Getzien, Dunlap/Hanlon, Richardson, and Thompson. It appears that the original/early owner initially included Dunlap in the collection but opted to place Hanlon’s head and name over him. Reasons for the update may be linked to Dunlap’s move to Pittsburgh for the 1888 season while all the others remained with Detroit. The Scrapps are not in particularly great shape but that doesn't matter to me and will remain as they are as long as the trunk is in my care.

Oh well, I suppose I can post this . . .

Far more information can be viewed on Memorabilia side, see post 63 here.

Spent the last month or so putting together this set of Billy Williams cards in EX-NM condition for my son as a gift. Still short a couple of cards that I just have not been able to find well centered yet. I would like to thank the numerous Net54 members that sold or traded me cards to put this set together!

Care of REA. Not in the best shape, but still allows me to check another one off of the list!

[GregMitch34]

Finally got one of my fave images--for tone and color--and with great centering and price no less (even from PWCC).
