The overstamp on Clinton is "1887."






Oh--and a beautiful Old Judge Hamilton which won't be here for a couple of weeks, and Lew Lipset's original encyclopedia, not the reprint which I already have (darned photos in the reprint are all xeroxed!), an Inianapolis Brewing Company Comiskey to keep my Cracker Jack company, and an Old Judge Williams came with the Old Judge box. I wasn't going to mention those things, until I saw the hauls everyone else made!

Don't know what you mean by 'overstamp.' The 1887 tax stamp was officially issued from 1887 to 1897. Another overprinted date would give a more specific date.

In other words, if I read your description correctly, your tax stamp is indeed the correct tax stamp for the trading cards packs, but the same stamp was used for a number of years after the cards were issued.

You have an 1887 pack (from the exact year of 1887), Julie, which I assume you may already know. I assumed from you 'New Stuff?' title, that you were inquiring about the age of your pack, as there had been many debates about the ages of packs on this board.

On the heels of winning a group of t205's from Lew L. last week that included Joss and Wallace 1-line-of-stats (and for a bargain... where was everybody?), I picked up 9 T204's from Scott Gaynor & Co this week, only to watch him list 58 more the next day. Fifty eight. FIFTY EIGHT! If you see me at the National this summer, I'll be the one in the corner with pencils in the tin cup, 1 cent each. Give 'til it hurts.

E-unc Baseball bat Johnson with red background
E92-unc Young with E79 back in an SGC holder

Just one, but I hope I will be pleased; a 1926 Spaulding Cobb blank backed, cut from a sheet according to the seller, and looks to be in great shape. I hope it grades, and actually from the scan looks oversized. It also is one of the few 'fotos of Cobb where he is actually smiling.

I picked up a lot of amateur photo lots recently. I won Rhys's Ruth Barnstorming photos and his Frank Chance Day photos on ebay. I got another McIntyre estate photo, this one pictures Joe McGinnity and Hooks Wiltse.

I picked up a group of 1909-12 era photos of the Milwaukee Brewers and C? Senators (Anyone know if Columbus in the old American Association was called the Senators?) included in that lot were photos of Chick Farrell, King Cole, Bill Hinchman, George McQuillan, Syd Smith, Skeeter Shelton, Phil Lewis, Tom Jones, and Lena Blackburne.

I got 3 photos from the 1920's era of Durham Bulls players. You can see the "Hit This" bull in the background of all 3 photos.

Picked up a couple of Nebraska Indians Postcards, a DiMaggio US Army Bat, H&B Champion #8 bat, and a circa 1890-1910 Spalding youths mitt.

John, does this person have anymore of the Spauldings left? I am in need of the Emil Yde card.

Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming --- WOW, What a ride!

But I did recently purchase a significant original 1969 17x14" gelatin silver photograph of the Prussian Countess/model Veruschka by the famous Italian photographer and movie director Franco Rubartelli. What is particularly interesting about the photo is that Veruschka boldly autographed the back in pencil. She was the photographer's girlfriend at the time and wrote the image captions/descriptions on back of many of his photos. In this case, the subject was her so she simply autographed it. The back also has the photograher's stamp with Rome address.

I added my new favorite piece of my collection. I have wanted one for some time, and finally was able to pick one up at a reasonable price. It is without a doubt the nicest woodcut, and one of the foirst, ever made. It is from an 1865 issue of Frank Leslies weekly, and features a full 2-page spread illustrating some of the big baseball names in 1865. Featured prominently in the middle is a commorative of James Creighton, who had died 4 years earlier. On the far right middle is an image of young Henry Chadwick, one of the true fathers of baseball. And all around the outside are other baseball greats of the time, including names like Mort. Rogers, etc. Truly one of the most beautiful early baseball items in existance. Sorry about the blurry image, it is the best I could do with such a large item. Included is the write-up of the picture, as found in the newspaper.

I picked up a couple of real nice N28s, Anson and Keefe, and an OJ Dorgan sliding (PSA 7). I have had a couple of OJs for a few years now, but this is my first serious venture into the 19th century. I have been mostly a pre-WWI tobacco and caramel guy to this point.

P.S. I don't know if this qualifies as lately, but in December I finished off my T206 set. I bought my first two T206s (Lajoie with bat and red background Cobb) in 1980 or 81, so it has been a long time coming.

Jim, what were your last 5 t206 pick-ups?

[Archive]

Posted By: JimB

Elliot,
I finished by buying a large lot that filled a number of holes and upgraded others, so it would be difficult to say which were the last five. I had more than five holes before buying this lot.

I picked up a '33 Goudey Ott, #127 PSA 1. Pretty happy with it, being that it fills a part of the set.
Julie, that is a cool pack. At the risk of sounding foolish, are there any cards in there? I don't know anything about OJ's. (Cards, not the football player or music group).

damn ben, 3 e104 hofs? I guess you got the Mack from Scott, did you get the BAker from Andy? I've been trying to look for an hof'er e104 myself. Good stuff.

YOU are the Sherlock Holmes of who has what card - not me! BTW - I SWORE to myself I would keep that Mack. However, I just had to have that E-Unc. Cobb Ben had.

it appears I just won a printers scrap from the T229 Pet Cigarettes series with a Jack Johnson front and another back. I'll wait and see what it looks like. Also got a trio of very rare E79 redbacks in bad shape, but WTF, they are among the rarest of boxing cards.

Picked up a nice W-516 Cobb. One of the better looking strip cards.

Got a PR-2 Lefty O'Doul pin.

My T200 A's card came in. Nice to finally have a T-card of Mack, Plank, Bender, Baker, et al.--they were a really good team.

My T202 Speaker-Wood came in. Nice to get that one.

Last, picked up a bunch of old cowboy exhibits including Henry Fonda, Gary Cooper, James Arness and my most wanted--Pernell Roberts. He's really tough to find because he left the show early and the card is a short print; finally finished my Bonanza collection. Yeeha!!

I'm not quite the e card aficionado Scott E is, but that Mack is one of my fav e cards. Just like Scott had to have the unc cobb, I had to have the Mack, so it was a good trade (although those weren't the only cards involved).

Forgot to mention two other pickups in my initial post. After posting in 'the one that got away' thread, I decided to exorcise my collecting demons by tracking down and buying back my T206 proof. Also managed to pick up a circa 1901 Amos Rusie cabinet card, which shows Rusie in his brief stint with Cincinnati in the twilight of his career.

I picked up a 1951 minor league program of when Willie Mays came to Hagerstown to play the Braves with his Trenton, NJ team. I picked it up in Verkman's auction and the game is scored inside.

I was born and raised in Hagerstown and played at the park many times where this game took place so it's really nostalgic for me.

It looks great on my mantle, too.

Got this T206 Bob Rhoades arm extends past border 3-D card from Mike Wheat last week..

[Archive]

Posted By: Julie

an Old Judge card in it, but I have never seen an unopened, or even just opened, Old judge box. As a matter of fact an ex common old Judge (Willaims) came with the box, but there was no pretense that it came out of that particular box. As I said, someone wrote in pencil on the side of the box, "asorted,' which makes one wish that whatever was kept inside--cards, possdibly, were still there, but they weren't. The box is very fragile, not tough cardboard. It must lose some of it's hardyness with age, because i can't imasgine putting twenty cigarettes and a baseball card inside that delicate thing.

I sure will keep an eye peeled for that Bob Rhoades T206--who would have thought T206 would be so innovative? I mean, many are beautiful, but it's a pretty conservative set, on the whole.

Julie:

These would go nicely with your new Old Judge box. The back of the coupon says in part "July 1st our baseball album will be ready. This will be the handsomest album ever published. Among other things it will have colored likenesses of last year's champions, the New York Giants."

<<Where do you score all of this stuff tbob?>>

Robert, The Ort was courtesy of the Forum 54 Board, I made a trade for it. The Cicotte was an off-line sale from a guy who felt bad for me when I came in 2nd in a Mastro (I believe) auction on a different M131. It took all this time to get it. Davis was an offline sale from a good friend/collector. Graham, Clarke and some of the T210s were on ebay as was the Walsh. The Carrigans were an off-line purchase from a fellow I had bought several cards from on ebay. The Bresnahan and Jennings? I'll never tell because I am still working that source off-line and E98s are going through the roof.
I don't have the dumb luck that Leon has in finding cards nor the persistence of Quan, but I stumble on a deal every now and then.
