Fun stuff, Scott

[Brian Van Horn]

Thank you, Dave:

[atx840]

Thank you to Johnny V for this pair. Street was the first oddity/scrap I had spotted but came up short on auction night, happy to finally own it.



I am a sucker for ghosts, picked up at the National.

[Luke]

That Shaw is sick

[T206Collector]

Finally added a HOFer (and a spectacular one at that) to my signed M101-2 collection, each from the Dr. Steen collection.

[Jobu]

Nice Chris! That is so clear you can tell that Shaw brushed and flossed his teeth daily.

This looks like the beginning of a back run!

Very nice pick ups on the T207 Napoleons. I have Chance and Lennox in Napoleon back so missing 6 Napoleons as Cubbies are my area. Where did you find them?

[MikeGarcia]

..was able to track down the original photo , well-worn and poorly-treated , for the 1937-1939 Orcajo Photo Art Cincinnati Reds Billy Meyers Postcard....showing both variations here , the 'plain' regular issue and the "Val Decker Meats"-sponsored ; nine of them are known to have the Val Decker Packing Co. , I'm still looking though...

..it's becoming more and more difficult to explain why I buy certain items to wifey....she still likes looking at "the pretty ones" though....

..

[MikeGarcia]

...back of the photo is dated "March 14 , 1935".....then "Steve O'Neil ,Cleveland Baseball , Manager"

...used for the R314 Goudey Wide Pen Premiums ; 1935 or 1936 is the year for the Type 3 ( borderless) ; 1936 is considered the year of issue for the Type 2 ;

...I've found four photos corresponding to baseball cards I own so far in 2016....sometimes I go years without seeing even one. Astounding.

Steve, what's up with you? You don't seem to pick up "ordinary" vintage cards, just really, really tough ones!
Congrats!!
Val

[atx840]

Wow, very nice Steve.

[MikeGarcia]

...just received the hand-lettered 1932 photo ( taken by 'Schoolboy' Rowe's 'roomate' at Spring training at Tiger Field in Lakeland , Florida ( they were still there as of this past Spring )----it's a very very young Eldon Auker who is with one hand holding his rat terrier puppy and with his other pulling close " His Luck-Charm Tom Mix "

...I collect just about anything that's thirties Tigers but this is the oddest item I've found so far...fountain pen was used for the printing on the front; on the reverse , written in cursive pencil is :
Big Six Auker
His dog & good
luck charm
Tom Mix

[brass_rat]

Thanks, everyone. I'm really excited to have worked out a deal for it, and the gentleman that I got it from couldn't be a nicer guy.

...and Val, I do pick up "ordinary" (is anything here ordinary?) vintage cards...some of my favorites are beaters with holes in them!

[Vintagecatcher]

Picked up this nice tall diamond cut Eddie Phelps T206 because it had the one color background compared to the more common two color background.

I have 10 more coming back from SGC, then I would need about 40 more to complete the confirmed run.

[Topps206]

My Ginger Beaumont I bought from a member here arrived today.

[mrvster]

Street and Shaw needed to be with you

hanging with you, adam, Jamie, Jantz , Dan , Mike at the national was Awesome!


going to post about it.....

[Joe_G.]

Love the D381s posted, nice cards from a great find.

Here is a slight upgrade courtesy of the Arizona Find (Steve Hart at Baseball Card Exchange). Hoping the new PSA8 will cross over (the PSA slab insert leaves a strange shine on the scan that I can't seem to avoid).

I should really wait until I have the card in hand before I post these- card somehow got lost at the post office after I wasn't home to sign for it. Any advice on what steps I can take to get them to track it down? I've been there multiple times already with no luck.

.. Looks like a nightmare right now BUT---We have members on this forum who will , in a few hours , describe exactly what steps to take. Patience ; he'll be home from work in a few .

I couldn't resist adding this Young portrait with some nice big fat borders - love the look of it!

[asoriano]

Very happy to land this tough variation:

[GasHouseGang]

My first card of this HOFer.

[jmb]

I bought these to crack out and have raw but they look so good in the SGC cases that I couldn't free them.

[ValKehl]

Being an OCD collector of all variations of all Sam Rice cards, I'm pumped to have just picked up this one, even though it's probably the easiest to find of the known-to-exist Rice cards that I didn't have:

[Spike]

Added this scarce Goudey #5 to my type set at the 2016 National. Really hope I can one day find a "football score sheet" premium that Goudey distributed to shop owners to give to their Sport Kings buyers, to better understand how you were expected to play its card-flipping game.

[DeanH3]

Awesome Gehrigs. Well done!

I've been jonesin' for these two for quite a while.

A big thanks to LukeLyon for letting this one go. Really nice for the grade.



This one showed up today. Another low grade with excellent eye appeal.

[Stonepony]

Great looking cards, Dean

[Jason Carota]

Thanks, Ted (Via the BST.)

[Joshwesley]

Can't wait to get it and have it matted/framed... I'll post pics of the finished product!

[CardMD]

Thanks to JoeT got this one to go with my E103 Wags.

[clydepepper]

I try to have at least one card for the subject of each biography I own.

For Bright Star in a Shadowy Sky,

I just picked up a nice raw card:
