Congrats Dan!

[bijoem]

way to go Dan!

Now.... hurry up and put a Yankee hat on that kid.

[Jim VB]

Nice and red! Just as a true Husker should be!

[DanP]

Great pick-up Dan! Congratulations.

Just as an FYI:

Addie with a Yankees hat: SGC 88
Addie with a Red Sox hat: SGC 100

I know you're not looking for re-sale, but there's a big difference in price between an SGC 100 and SGC 88.

Good luck!

Congrats Dan, never knew you were such a big Joss fan!

[Leon]

Congrats Dan. That is the absolute best pick up in the whole world. I am so proud for you. Take care of mama....she is going to need some support. I remember how little sleep we got right after our Bratty was born. Kids are the best thing in the world!!

I'm pretty sure it wasn't a "surprise", Barry. Dan is from Nebraska, but he's pretty smart. He knew in advance!

[rc4157]

The T206 quest continues:

[Clark7781]

I'm a newbie here, so this is my first attempt to attach a photo to a message. This is a recent purchase on ebay. I still have not seen it, but it looks good in the scans. I've always wanted a Lajoie, and always liked the coloring on this card!

[Rob D.]

Nice card, Paul. That's one you just can't go wrong with. I think if a poll were done, that pose would rank in a lot of collectors' top 10 from the T206 set.

As you may know the team composite is of the Lincoln Baseball club. We sold an entire collection from this team in Spring 2009 Auction.

Here is a link to the cabinet, it has the names on the back as well.

Gary- I have McClure in my large panoramic photo of the 1867 Nationals of Albany, but he is pictured with very short hair.

[GaryPassamonte]

Scott-I believe both the cabinet and CdV were taken in Bonn, Germany. Interestingly the CdV was found in England.
Barry-I've posted my Albany Nationals CdV before, but here it is again.
McClure is on the right. Both the team and individual CdV were taken by the same photographer.

Rob:

Thank you very much. I have enjoyed the visual appeal of this card for awhile. One of the things I love about this is you can't see clearly all of the letters of Cleveland on his jersey - I like how it shows the "wrinkles".

But hey, that's just me!

[Clark7781]

Christmas came late for me this year! But I have rewarded myself for all of my hard work and sacrifices over the year (shhhh...no telling the wife, unless you want to hear me sing soprano!) with another iconic card that I have wanted for a LOOOOONG time.

For me, nothing says baseball than the photo of Chirsty Mathewson, hands crossed on chest, getting ready to throw. And in the black cap. The image just screams sexy....that and Kate Beckinsale with little clothes on, but this is a baseball card forum, so lets not go there....

Anyway, I picked this up on the 'bay recently.

[barrysloate]

Gary- mine is two years later and by then McClure's hair is close cropped.

[Mikehealer]

One of my favorite poses and backs at a very nice price.

Thanks to a fellow Net54er:

I'm a little late, but congrats Dan!!!!

[DanP]

Thanks Jim!
MLB Player HOF'ers: 204 Have Card: 199 Have Rookie Card: 161
Rookie's left: 43 (I'm going to need to hit the lotto soon)!

Very nice Hubbell card! I'm a little confused with the numbers but.......

Phil: There are 204 MLB Player HOF'ers.
Of which I have 161 of what I would call their true RC (first year card, not a pin, photo, etc.)

That means I need 43 more RC's. For 38 of those 43 missing players I have a card close to their RC (usually within a few years).

That leaves 5 MLB Player HOF'ers that I don't have any cards for (Delahunty, Griffith, McPhee, Nichols and Rusie).

After 4 years I finally decided this week to figure out how I'm doing!

Dan

[bcbgcbrcb]

161/204, that's pretty impressive. How many out of the other 43 do you think you will realistically be able to obtain true rookie cards for?

I believe I'll get most of them. Here are a few that I'll probably never get:

1893 Just So .. Burkett (? not sure how many there are), Young

E107 Mathewson (maybe Allegheny, since it is 1904 and E107 is 03-04 maybe it can be called a true RC)

E107 Wagner (I guess I'll have to settle for the Fan Craze)

Allegheny Bresnahan ... missed it last auction, but you never know

The rest are all possible....
