March 2016 New Pickups

[frohme]

Thanks to board members, the wantlist thread, auction houses, and eBay - most of these are Feb, early March, or still coming in.

Progress finally picked up on a number of T207 subsets:

Bushelman (eBay) completes the Broadleaf subset for me [50/50] ... Lewis no-emblem is not realistic.
 


Marquard (eBay) makes 10/13 HOFers with Napoleon back.
 


Adams (board-member) makes 42/50 Cycle
 


Higgins (LOTG) and Wood (board member/want-list) are 43 and 44 respectively of the 49 known Recruits with Anonymous back.
 


 


Ragan makes 46/50 Broadleaf class with any Anonymous back.
 


Other miscellaneous stuff....

Sweeney is one of the few known Broadleaf class blank-backed cards
 


and last, but certainly not least, my favorite upgrade of the year for the graded set...
 


Much more progress than I expected for the whole year. Though its just March, I'm pretty much done till next year, but that's OK. (unless someone has a Livingston 'Big C', Factory 606 they're looking to put in a good home...

A big thanks to everyone one of you that has made collecting T207 enjoyable once again.

Jason, that's an awesome turkey red. I loved him in Wedding Crashers!

[VoodooChild]

Thanks Dan. It's funny that you said that because I was watching "The Internship" on TV last night while bidding on that Wilson!

Sam,

Thank you. I like your avatar. I also like high number Batter Ups because in a lot of cases stadiums are the backgrounds of the cards. Also, I like Gehringer because, as his nickname of the "Mechanical Man" indicates, he was just a wonderfully consistent player year in and year out.

Despite the trim, a beautiful card! I only wish the player pictured was not Cy Seymour misidentified as Home Run Baker.

[cracker_jack]

I'd rather have the Cy Seymour price too

[bcbgcbrcb]

I was going to say, doesn't look anything like Baker.........

[jcc6252]

I would have never known these existed, if it wasn't for the fine gentlemen on this board.

[DeanH3]

Nice Evers Jim! I really like D304's as well.

[Jdoggs]

Cool 41 DiMaggio.

[DBesse27]

Glenn, that Asian postcard of the babe is beautiful!

[Howe’s Hunter]

Pete Gustafson let me know about this one. Thanks, Pete.

Nice pick up, Bryan! That's one of my favorite poses from any pre-war card. Hughie Jenning's expression is the very epitome of baseball joy. Nice Cobb CJ, too.

That's a real nice Speaker. Congratulations!

Please, no. Don't tempt the baseball Gods, not until after I add this one to my collection, anyway.

The Johnson port will always be in a class by itself, as far as I'm concerned. But I think the Lajoie port is my favorite in the entire set right now. Such a gorgeous card! That's a beautiful add to your collection. Congratulations!

These D304s used to be all the rage. It's a great set with great lithography and rarities with the backs. Congrats on a nice pick up....

[Kenny Cole]

Frank Wickware, Jude Gans, Pete Hill (HOF 2006), George Dixon (probably) and Frank Duncan the outfielder, not the catcher who came along a little bit later.

[goudey1933]

[Vintagecatcher]

Received this T209-1 in the mail today. He's the only catcher in the set.

I think at some point American Caramel said: "Man, do those Boston Nationals stink *, but we got to give them a few cards."
