Thanks Blair. I completed the regular color set first and have been collecting the black and white proofs and blank backs lately. The prices for these two groups (at least on ebay) has been going down so maybe I can get this finished. As far as the blank backs go, a couple I am chasing are cards I have never seen before anywhere- a blank back Keeler springs to mind.

damn bob!
 

That's amazing, Bob...an e97 master set...not to mention your e94 's. You had amazing hindsight! If you ever find yourself with an extra e97 nichols, phil variation...I'll trade you my e94 green murray and a dupe(for you) t212 series 150 wolverton for it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[QUOTE=bijoem;761420]Bob -

I think the Eddie Collins T206 is one of the nicest - - if not the nicest - - T206 card.

Yeah, Eddie was actually pretty good looking back then...

Thanks Scott!

I used to own that exact Mathewson, Jim. It presents really well for its grade. Congrats.

A Few Big Pickups for me. My First Cobb Autograph "JSA letter" (and prob my last and now my best autograph) My first nice Gehrig and my first Hornsby card. Good month for me.

I just got around to scanning this one, acquired through BST, thanks Joe.
193/240 of this set.

GUU Auctions....never heard of them before a couple of weeks ago, but found this little jewel in their most recent auction

Wahoo!
 

Adding to my HOF collection, this has been on the wishlist for a long time...

Not really collecting the E95 set but couldn't pass this grouping at a very reasonable price. The backs all have a tiny bit of damage, not bad at all, which accounts for SGC lowering the boom on the grades.

A few newer pick ups...

My 9th Catcher HRK
 

I received my 9th HRK catcher, John Tiedeman, today from Canada.

Since the Walter Boles HRK crops off his glove making it impossible to identify the card as a catching pose that leaves only 3 more catching pose HRKs that I need.

I have seen several Walter Schmidt HRKs over the last few years, and I have been told that Ralph Kreitz and August Fisher are also catcher pose cards.

So I need the following three (3) HRKs to complete my run:

August Fisher
Ralph Kreitz
Walter Schmidt


I also want to take this opportunity to thank one of our board members again for his generosity. He sent me 3 items on my want list that he had duplicates of in his collection. I can't thank him enough!

Needless to say, I had a pretty good day adding 4 PCL cards to my collection.



Patrick

Thanks Scott!
 

3 more:

I actually got this E222 on Oct. 30 at the Chantilly, VA Show.

Leon - I note that you have this same E222 card of Smith, except that the back of yours is in a different color ink. I never knew that there were ink color variations for the same player, did you? Val

Welcome addition

Speaking of Boles...just picked this one up.

Believe me, they look just as good in person. :)

I replaced my own scan for the T201 :D

arrived yesterday, my birthday
 

I got this obak from board member Bob Craik. The write-ups on the back of the 1911's are priceless. But this fellow, Ten Million, was from Washington State, my home. I'm glad to have this card.

Couple of big 'uns and a plethora of small dakine from America's most unfocused want list.

Nice pickups, David! The Old Mill cabinet is amazing.

Well I finally got to my goal for 2009. 100 different T206's. Got these at the Sun Times show in Rosemont from Chris Buckler. Thanks Chris!

Wheat T206
 

Great night for T210s tonight on ebay. One has to wonder if the relatively faint interest was due to ebay's glitches lately.

The rest of tonight's purchases

Nice pick ups Bob ;)

I was happy with what my Series 1's went for (but I could always be "happier") .............. but I was shocked how low some of the 2's went for.

Thanks to Chris on the BST.

I should also mention that Chris threw in this cutout of a '37 Exhibit 4 on 1.
It was much appreciated. I have added a look of the "uncut" 4 on 1, courtesy of "Old Cardboard" for you to view. It makes you wonder where the other 3 ended up.
