[rjackson44]

Six different Boston garters

[cdn_collector]

Okay, I'll play. No idea where mine lands dollar-wise, but here's a handful of Tip O'Neill items that have really captured my attention lately. Except for #2, I'm pretty sure they're all very unrealistic, so in no particular order:

1. N370 Lone Jack
2. N172 Browns Champs
3. E223 G&B Chewing Gum (have yet to even see this card)
4. Any N173 Cabinet
5. N175 Gypsy Queen
6. 1889 Police Gazette

7. While I'm dreaming, any of the many cool team cabinets I've been seeing.

Regards,

Richard.

I'd buy a PSA 2 1933 Goudey Lajoie. The rest of the money would go towards a 1951 Bowman Willie Mays and a 1954 Bowman Ted Williams in PSA 5.

Bruce,
First, you misspelled the Holiday in your title, although I think we get the intent.
Next, someone gives me $10,000 .........(gasp, that's as long as I can hold my breath)
But I get to list 6 items which cannot exceed a total of $50,000
Say what are the rules again?
So by my math, I'm out at least 40k. unless I only get one item, not 6 and at least two of the six need to be less than 10k each...or I would be breaking the fantasy rules.

How about this, my list would consist of E210-2 Gehrig and you can keep the change

[sdkammeyer]

Great thread!!

E90-1 Joe Jackson (PSA Authentic or 1)
An E98 Cy Young from the "Black Swamp Find" (PSA 8)
T206 Cobb-bat off (PSA 7)
T200 Detroit Team card (PSA 4or 5)
1952 Topps Mickey Mantle (just a nice raw one please)

And ..... 2 infield box seat season tickets for the 2013 Detroit Tigers

[Rickyy]

1925 or 1926 Exhibit Card of Bill Terry

4. A Drake's Babe Ruth
5. A W-Unc Tris Speaker from this set:

[bcbgcbrcb]

As many T206 commons as I could buy for $10K............

Of course, then I would have to post them one at a time in the December Pick-Ups thread.

[tiger8mush]

I have a simple inexpensive want list - if I found any of these by xmas I'd be extremely happy ...

1. Any O'Day N172 variation I don't have
2. M101-2 Cobb
3. E121 with Gertenrich back (I'll ask for a HOFer since I can splurge)
4. 1914 CJ #90 Smith with nice eye appeal
5. 1933 Goudey from Lionel Carter Collection (again, HOFer since its xmas $)
6. The N172 of Billy Hamilton that Bob has on the b/s/t, its a beaut!

Bill

[mark evans]

I don't expect to find these under my Hannukah bush (i.e., wife's Christmas tree) but a CJ Jackson and 52 T Mantle would fit nicely in my curio cabinet.
Other interests as well but need lottery hit.

[Eric72]

Without going into the stratosphere with pricing, I figured it best to list five of the more moderately valued cards on my current want list.
If any one of these wound up coming my way this Holiday Season, I would be tickled pink:
1912 Obak Perry
1934 Goudey Frank (Don) Hurst
1934 Goudey Ed Holley
1934 Goudey George Darrow
1934 Goudey Dolph Camilli
Best Regards,
Eric

[drmondobueno]

1. T206 Magie any condition
2. T201 Cobb/Crawford SGC 88
3. D322 Wagner
4. E90-1 Jackson
5. 1955 Clemnte NM
6. E95 Mathewson EX MT

Santa, I'd settle for a small T206 lot with a mid grade Chesbro, Ed Collins, Keeler and a Cy Young upgrade...

[dabigyankeeman]

The way i read the question is that i have $50,000 to spend, not $10,000, so i based my Chanukah list below on the $50,000 total.


1933 goudey Ruth red background
1952 Berk Ross Mantle
1932 US Caramel Ruth
1932 US Caramel Gehrig
1922 E121 Ruth Holding Bird
1922 E121 Ruth Photo Montage
Any original Ruth Exhibit card

I would try to get the best possible condition on those cards to work it up to the amount of money given here. If still under, i would search out Ruth strip cards, and a 1959 Mantle Bazooka, and a Ruth 1951 Topps All Star, and if i still had bucks left i would just work on old oddball Ruth and Gehrig cards.

Note that i would only work on cards that fit my Yankee collection, and not worry about getting other cards of great players even though they might be rarer or really neat.

Also i wouldnt upgrade any of my current cards, i would only buy cards i do not already own in any condition.

You are obviously a gentleman of high taste!!!!

And with a name like yanksfan, what more needs to be said? Way to go!!!

[kcohen]

E135 Jackson
T210-6 Stengel

Would have put a T210-8 Jackson but it'll have to come down in price substantially to be within budget.

[VinTX]

I'm a little confused as to whether we're supposed to be putting 6 items that are no more than $10k a piece, or no more than 10k total, lol.

So...I'll do both

PSA 6 '33 Goudey Babe Ruth (#53)
PSA 7 '51 Bowman Mantle RC
