Thanks Bill!

And that Ames T3 is killer. I'd never seen that one before.

Very sharp additions!

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

WOW, great piece, Brian. Congrats!

[Koufax32fan]

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!)

[GregMitch34]

From Love of Game last night, only graded one--just cool looking, postcard back, barely distributed if at all...

[MVSNYC]

My first Ruth, after all of these years...and reacquired the exact Pelty i used to own...both from LOTG (great auction, Al!)

[Koufax32fan]

The colors are nicer - I need to get a hang of this scanner.

[kamikidEFFL]

Great pick up guys. That T3 is nice and I myself haven't seen that one before either.

[shernan30]

Great cards Joe!!

Wood and Johnson? There has to be a joke in there somewhere.

[ullmandds]

super postcards Jim!

A prelude to Masters & Johnson?

In the school system there is a nationally normed academic test called the Woodcock-Johnson that we use quite often to help determine student progress and for ESE eligibility. We definitely get a lot of strange looks when we discuss the results of that test.

... and I'm guessing they conduct the tests at Bushwood Country Club? Funny thing is, I'm sure those names were totally reasonable before American slang hijacked them. I think Clarke is safe for now, but you never know!

Some pickups over the past month plus, including a nice N172 "Orator Jim" from LOTG... and thank you Joey for the Rajah of BST.

Got this T206 Dunn today with a split front. Can't tell if the bottom player is also Dunn, because the background is yellow, but that could be from a color shift. I believe there is a Dunn split front out there that is him on both sides. The yellow in the bottom is a lot easier to see in person, not sure why it is barely showing up in the scan. Must be something with my settings

[marvymelvin]

Hey just wanted to show you all my recent buy of this Oak Prewar Exhibit Vending Machine. It is still in transit but I am too excited to wait. I have some prewar Baseball Exhibits waiting to replace those boxing cards once it gets here. I will post again once I do.

[clydepepper]

My number is up to 10 - should be 12 before the weekend.

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

[nolemmings]

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

And then, the Wagner PC shows him standing next to a statue of an alligator holding a pair of lace panties!


I'm a big San Diego Chargers fan, and it just hit me the other day, that three of their players over the years have been (Jeff) Wood, (Danny) Woodhead and (John) Woodcock.

[Prince Hal]

Been looking for this for a long time.

[shernan30]

Not a card, but you can't complain with a Cleveland Blues t-shirt from your wife for your anniversary.

Nice Wags.

A little late to the party but just saw your PC's Jim S. They are sweet!

[the 'stache]

Ian, I really love your recent acquisitions. The diversity in your collection really knocks my socks off, my friend. You're doing exactly what I plan on doing. I especially love the Rajah and the O'Rourke. I can't remember, but is that your first OJ?

When Joe posted his OJ collection pick ups, I started looking at them seriously for the first time. I'd like to get one here before the year is out, but there's a lot of other things I want first.

Dave, that Wagner is outstanding. That's one of my favorite Wagner cards. The background colors on it are jut beautiful, don't you think?

[Runscott]

I picked up this Fleer Ted Williams strip (bottom right) at the Shoreline show, from Conor:

Card not shown on right, is of Williams and Babe Ruth.

[gnaz01]

Came today. Borders trimmed off, but not a crease on the image and is as clear as can be Sorry for the bad iPhone photo.

[davetruth]

Yeah 'Stache the colors are pretty striking..the old candy/tobacco cards are just so unique compared to the cards I grew up collecting from the 80/90s. Who said you need a hologram or lots of shiny foil or "1 of 50000" stamped on your card to make it something beautiful and special. I've also been blown away by some of the deeper and more vibrant vintage cards that appear as though they have never seen the light of day. Pretty cool stuff!!

[Bicem]

We need a big scan Greg, do that amazing piece justice!

[tbob]

Weekly pickups

George Miller Cronin, E93 Ames and 1959 set

[familytoad]

Thanks to Rob A for the opportunity to add this awesome card into my collection:

[the 'stache]

Greg-I just love the Fatimas! Having never held one before, can you tell me the differences between the regular T200s with the Fatima label, and the T200 premiums sans label? How much of a size difference are we talking? And besides the logo not being present, are there any other identifiable differences between the two?

Greg-that Cicotte is absolutely gorgeous!

[kamikidEFFL]

I really love the stuff that people are able to obtain. I wish my wallets were deep enough to jump in on some of these.

Bill: This quick'n'dirty snapshot ought to give you an idea of the difference in size. (Didn't have a regular T200 Boston so used a Washington team card instead. Maybe somebody can post one so we can inspect for differences in the image). You can see that the premium is quite large. It measures approximately 18-1/2"x10-1/2"; the edges were a bit rough and are matted out so I can't be more precise. That's a Moose Skowron autographed baseball to give a scale to the photo.
