Thanks. Yes, some damage on back; I just love it when you can find an old card with a great front and the eye appeal of a much higher-grade card, and it's low grade (and affordable) because of the back.
To think the same quality image with no back damage would cost insane $$$$, it makes lower grade cards with no front damage like treasure finds to me. Joltin' Joe has only 8 more career Ks than HR, which is staggering; he K'd only 13 times during his MVP season in 1941! It really amazes me how when you look at career stats, especially percentage stats and not counting stats, how elite Gehrig and Joe D were. Couple those numbers with their records (Joe's "56" still standing), then factor in their cultural significance (Gehrig's speech, Joe's marriage to Monroe) and I can only see the hobby one day recognizing all that, in terms of their cards rising in value. It is also shocking that only relatively lately do we see the greatest player and biggest name of all-- Ruth-- achieving huge card values (namely the performance of the Balt News and the RC). Sometimes I just surf around baseball-reference.com and my jaw never ceases to drop seeing how many categories Ruth tops.

Sweet pick-up, Sean! I'm headed to my only Cubs series of the season this weekend at Coors Field with my son. I'll proudly sport my Cubs Sandberg #23 jersey...along with about 20,000 other Cub fans that usually go to the Coors games!
Take Care, Geno |

Very nice pick-up, Jimi. If I'm not mistaken, that's the exact same grade as mine received from Beckett.

Cool, Phil. I have a couple more M101-2s I'd like to send in. Are the prices reasonable for that size of a card? I've never sent anything into BVG before.

Jimi:
Beckett has different grading specials each month, a couple of times they've had something like 10 or 15 business days @ $10 a piece which covers the regular grading cost. There is an additional surcharge for the oversize holders, as of my last submission it was $8.00 per. I'm not sure if it has changed recently or not. I beleive that you can download a submission form from their website and the pricing is all spelled out on there. Beckett is also very good about sticking to the time frames that are promised, they almost never run behind schedule. Last edited by bcbgcbrcb; 07-18-2013 at 12:18 PM. |

Sorry for my cheap-o scanner
Picked up from a fellow forum member. The borders are super white which makes me think this was on a fan's wall it's whole life. Thanks pinhole for making you affordable.

That's a great Cy portrait. Probably a 5 if not for the pinhole.

Actually a Type 2 coupon - looks nicer than the grade but has a vertical crease which isn't too noticeable...

Nice Coupon Matty
Here's a 1934 Goudey Canadian 12 card sheet. My scan cuts off the bottom portion.

Great pickup Eric!
I was the under bidder on that last night. I have to blame a poor cell data connection for my inability to bidder higher, I desperately wanted to. Congrats! |

Am slowly rebuilding by George Gibson collection. Won these in the recent Small Traditions auction, and was quite happy with the prices. The T205 is a Factory 42 Piedmont. Cards arrived last week, but waited for today to post them to mark Gibson's birthday. Happy 133rd, George!
Regards, Richard. NB. Nice E105 and E92 Gibson cards, fellas. |

There's another thread going about it a few down from this one. This is a fun card to research.

OJ's
Marty Sullivan 0477 and Pat Murphy. SGC graded
Dumb question: Is the baseball suspended from a wire for the pictures, or do they actually "toss" it in for the picture? Sorry, rookie OJ collector here Last edited by ScottFandango; 07-24-2013 at 06:16 PM. |

You know, I assumed photographic technology prevented them from doing any "action" photos. The players had to hold poses sometimes for several minutes. Am I correct?

I have several really dark-imaged OJ's where you can see the wire that suspends the baseball. I assume they were consistent with their photographic techniques.....

Thanks! Going to keep them and hopefully someday finish the Stenzel's set. If I ever change my mind I'll let you know. Jeff |

A good month
Thanks to Ron for giving me the chance to reunite this with the others.
This is not the same Bergen that was offered on eBay a couple of weeks ago that I received several messages about. That one went for way more that it was worth, and more than I was wiling to part with. At least two others thought a lot more of that card than I did. But am very glad to add this one, which brings the total to 235. |
