Hi Dan-

Nice Life magazine pick up !! This thread is a monthly pick up thread, you surely could start another thread regarding the PONY League and may get some replies. Or, maybe this will help:

Excuse my interuption,,,,nice pick ups everyone !!!!

Sincerely, Clayton

[deebro041]

Thanks Clayton for the help. I still haven't been able to find any info. The teams and the names don't match up. The year was 1951, pitcher was J.W. Bryce pitching for Johnstons. Unless there are more pony leagues(or was) out there.

Great pickup Seth! C46 is one of my all-time favourite issues.

Regards,

Richard.

Thanks Richard! I really hope to add a Gandil soon. I couldn't pass up this higher graded one though, especially since its Tim Jordan. I'm a big fan of his cards.

[bobbvc]

Been looking for this one a while now...

[bigfish]

Big thanks to Steve F for selling me the little rhody. Plank is a d303

[Bicem]

Nice Bid Ed!

[Ladder7]

She's your's now. I had to say NO to crack and hello to Cracker Jack. Thanks!

[deebro041]

Here's a photo of the silver platter won by J W Bryce in the Pony League for throwing a no hitter in 1951.

Added my first Hindu to the PC, thanks KC. When I first started collecting T's a couple years ago I could give a damn about backs, now things have changed. Hard not to appreciate a different back when you are so used to seeing Sweet Caps, Piedmonts, et al.

I don't show off cards very much, but I was really pumped to pick this card up on ebay for the price of a nice lunch.....

[dell webb]

One of the unlisted pages from the ebay scrapbook

[nolemmings]

Interesting but a little puzzling that the author/scrapbooker mistakes Joe Jackson for Home Run Baker. I assumed he would have trimmed the card himself and known that the caption was JoeJax.

[dell webb]

My guess is that the kid collected the cards from several sources prior to putting the book together. I would say that the cards were trimmed in different ways by the different collectors not necessarily the scrapbooker. He would have been forced to "guess" at the names of some of the trimmed players.

[usernamealreadytaken]

The Nicholls card is listed as Oldring...btw, what is written on his cap? It should be plain white, correct?

[teetwoohsix]

Please excuse my ignorance on this, but what are the 2 cards directly below the Jackson & the Thomas?

Thanks-

Sincerely, Clayton

A few more for my 1920's Speaker collection.

Hello, i am a NEWB

I just recently bought a Ernie Lombardi on Ebay, 1934 Goudy, http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...K%3AMEWNX%3AIT

The card came from an auction held by SPC AUCTIONs. A friend, who recommended me to this site, had suggested I be very careful of counterfeit pre-war cards, so here I am. I have no idea if this is real or not, I should have the card by the weekend, what do i need to look for? I know on rookie cards like Rod Carew, Pete Rose, etc. that the fakes are 2 good and that gives them away but what do you look for on pre-war cards?

This maybe the wrong forum to post this so if there is a different thread out there I would appreciate the link.

I am collecting all the Hall of Fame catchers sigs if possible and when not I am going after original cards and then finally modern jersey/bat cards of the player. I need Roger Bresnahan, Bucke Ewing, Gabby Hartnett, and Ray Schalk to complete this project.

Mike

[bunst]

NEWB, I think you have reason to be concerned. Border and back look too white to be authentic. Of course, without seeing it in person no way to be sure.

[53Browns]

At least you only lost 40 bucks on it.

[Bicem]

sweet CJ Cobb!

[TwinkieFan]

Hello again, thank you for the response and the tip.

Here is the LOT : http://www.scpauctions.com/LotDetail...AND-BILL-TERRY

It looks as though the Ernie is discolored in these photos, still, lesson learned. Thanks guys.

MIke

[birdman42]

This just came in the mail, courtesy of Bill Cornell. He was going to keep all the PCs in this lot from REA but generously agreed to sell me this one for my Milan collection.

Thanks, Bill!

[Bicem]

Nice Rose Co postcard! I may have to start collecting those.

[milkit1]

Mike. Don't worry about it. That's the benefit of buying from auctions like scp is that they do not throw random fake cards in their.lots. just avoid coachs corner and you'll be fine.

Nothing wrong with that card.

[Jason]

This is a little side set im working on aside from The T206 Set.There are a couple really interesting W515-1 in my humble opinion. Ty cobb 2.jpg

[T206Collector]

Just got these back from SGC/JSA this week. Michael Goldberg was excellent as always and invented some new text on the flip for these unusual cards...

[Jacklitsch]

Great buy Anthony!!!!

[joeadcock]

Michael C

does JSA have extensive exemplars for mrs. mcgraw and mathewson?

Yes, actually, they do. Jane Mathewson and Blanche McGraw signed a ton of stuff for collectors eager for traces of their husbands' legacies. They often attended HOF weekends with Mrs. Ruth and Mrs. Gehrig, signing loads of things. They're not particularly tough signatures to find.

But, rest assured, these came from the Jeff Morey collection, and he confirmed how he received these nearly half a century ago by mail.

[rustywilly]

Pretty cool Mrs. auto's!

Back from PSA this past week....



And some new pickups...

[bcbgcbrcb]

Mark:

Very nice Coveleski. I would say the same about the Averill but..........

[scotty21690]

Big thanks to Rawn for this beaut!





My 8th Red Sox from this set!

[bbcard1]

As hard as it is to believe, this is an upgrade for me in that it has both a front and a back.

[Robextend]

31 more to go!!

[53Browns]

I should have these early next week, thanks to Pete Sycks! (Sycks22)...

[BCauley]

Just came in the mail today courtesy of Steve (Ladder7). Throwing together the T206 Red Sox team which isn't too hard since there is a very small number of their cards in the set.

Thanks Steve for the great service!

[Brian Van Horn]

Thank You, Chris, Peter and Brian:

[greenmonster66]

The Horizontal kid strikes again with his first V100s!

[DanP]

Just back from SGC .. two purchased from N54 partners.

My first W600 purchases (from REA Auction), a little rough but they'll have to do for now.

[53Browns]

Wow Dan! Great stuff. I especially love the Anson!!!

[pete zouras]

Thanks tbob
