Default 1911 Chicago Union Giants panoramic postcard

This oversized panoramic postcard depicts the Chicago Union Giants and the Daggett, Michigan baseball team at a September 6, 1911 contest in Daggett. The Union Giants wear jerseys reading "Peters" because Williams S. Peters owned the club. A friend's great research yielded the following identifications: Robert Gilkerson, who would buy the team in 1917 (2b, far left); Sam Gordon (c, second from left); Horace Jenkins (rf, third from left); Haywood "Kissing Bug" Rose (1b, fourth from right) Albert Toney (ss, second from right); James Harvey (p/rf, far right). The other players likely include Guy Jackson (3b); Mack Ramsey (lf), Ed Lee (cf), and Alexander (p). I will post more identifications as they come. For more, visit http://www.sportingoregon.com

Default 2 kids graduating

The high school graduate is a Clemente fan - sorry it isn't per-war - so I bought him this 1959 card. The soon-to-be-former-8th grader is more of a pre-war kinda guy, so I bought him his first Greenberg; not great condition, but a big head. (Thanks Tony!)

John, I got that book about a month and a half ago. You're going to absolutely love it. Good buy!

I'm sending you a message with some other suggestions.

After getting my first red border in REA, I've decided to collect Series 4 and 6. My wife's family is from the area making this the only way she would agree to me collecting more tobacco cards. (She's in medical school and hates tobacco, she told me my OJs were okay, but other sets)

I was also able to pick up 2 Cleveland and 1 Cincinnati OJ for my Ohio subset. Really happy with the Twitchell. Its near the top of my favorites list for this subset.

Enjoy!!

Default This should actually go in the May pick-ups, but didn't have a chance to scan Friday

The accompanying note said: Cyrus says: "It's nice to be home!"

Very special thanks to a board member who got this one of Howe's cards back with the rest. Words can't really express how grateful I am.

Number 256 in the rebuilt collection.

Awesome Ed! Keep it up! That card is in fantastic shape, too!! That would look great in any collection, but looks the best in yours! I don't know the full story, but do you think almost all T206 in the checklist will have this back? And is there only a sole copy of each in existence, or have you stumbled across duplicates?

I think I can speak for all of us when I say, yours is probably the most challenging set-build I know of! We all know of Uzits and Hindus being rare/tough backs, but yours must be the toughest around!

A big score for me, a nice lot of 21 OJs.

All the cards, except one, have "C W CHURCH." stamped on the back. It would be interesting to know how substantial the collection was at one time. Almost all the cards date to 1889. Appears to be a collection that has stood together for many, many years. Most of the cards have outstanding photo quality. A nice grouping of OJs.

Well, the rest of the lot is pretty sweet, but a Deacon White? That is outstanding! Congrats!

BTW - that pose looks very familiar to me!

Greg-that Keeler is beautiful! That's one of my favorite portraits from the set.

Ed-that Cy Young is magnificent, and I'm so glad you got it back. I love your project. I keep my eyes open for the Howe McCormick back stamp whenever I'm looking at T206 cards on Ebay.

Joe-you're not kidding about the photo quality. Those Old Judges are spectacular!

I, for one, would like to see a different qualifier for baseball cards that exhibit stamps. The "MK" designation is seen as a negative, something that lowers the overall value of a card. I find the stamps that are seen in Ed's collection, and on the back of Joe's OJ collection, as enhancements. I think they add character to the cards, and exhibit a little clue about the card's history. Let the buyer decide if the stamp qualifier adds to or detracts from the card's beauty.

Holy smokes Jim! I think you should be more excited about the Marquard ML card! Very nice! All three are killer though!

Beautiful postcards Jim. Rather risque-- a Johnson with Wood.

I think it would be really cool if when you completed this unique collection you went to the residence of 500 W. Main St., Gainesville, Fla and showed the current resident your collection or an even cooler idea would be to track down the descendants of Howe and show them their great grandfathers collection.

Really cool idea for a collection, I'll keep a lookout for those stamps!

Very special thanks to a board member who got this one of Howe's cards back with the rest. Words can't really express how grateful I am.

Number 256 in the rebuilt collection.

Question is...how will Ed know if/when this collection is ever completed?
