My B-L auction win!!!

Small pickup from B&L...another off the E-type card list!

Bill

Bill, do we have any hard proof that the Colgan "square proof" is actually that? I've always had some doubt about the origins of this card. Mine is below:

<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/calvindog/2910100804/" title="1909 Colgan's Chip Proof by calvindog65, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3259/2910100804_206f765cbd_o.jpg" width="450" height="771" alt="1909 Colgan's Chip Proof" /></a>

It was good that Leon ressurected the old topic on this. I don't think they are "officially" proofs, but tend to agree given the size & similarities to Colgan's that they were offered up in a different product. What that was, and when it was distributed are valid and unanswered questions, and may never be unless some big discovery is made. That being said, whether it's a Colgan or not isn't too high on my radar. It's a period card that I didn't have a type of in my set, and now I do so I am happy! Let's hope some light is finally shed in the future and that it turns out that the Criss is the new holy-grail of card collecting! :)

Bill

Let's hope it turns out that the Criss is the new holy grail ...
 

There are right around 50 of them from what I've heard, and the highest graded on is in a PSA 8 case (but I think it's been trimmed). Watch out for all the fakes on eBay that were found in Grandpa's attic!

I'd say that M101-6s are new holy grail this week.

Jeff,

I hope you are wrong.....Leon just sold mine in that auction....Thanks again Leon and Scott for running a great auction.

Bob,
It was a beauty.
Jeff

Absolutely great auction, won a few lots myself.

Jeff,
Do you know who won it? If you do, please tell them I hope it display great in their collection.
Bob

Nope, all I know is it wasn't me. Always been one of my favorite sets.

Love the color in this one...first new vintage I've gotten in a while. I have a few nice ones incoming though...will post them up when they arrive. Closer and closer!

A couple CdVs from a large group I was fortunate to obtain.

1889 Supplement
 

This is my first "The Stage" Supplement, from 1889. Thought it was neat that the adjoining page was still in tact and had a cool writeup on Harry Stovey. Anyone else have any Supplements from "The Stage" to share?

I'm so happy to add this to my collection. From a barn in Massachusetts.

Rob G:

Very nice piece, those are tough to come by!

Gabby Street T3
 

I picked up a Gabby Street T3 in a recent Clean Sweep Auction at an incredible price. It replaces my previous Street T3 that was used to finalize a trade last year.

Jeff:

Great Cubs Team. Presume that's a PC?

The Evers, Tinker and Zimmerman are recognizable poses appeaing individually on other PC's I have seen.

Yes, the Burke & Atwell is a postcard.

I know these are complete BEATERS...
 

...but given that Im targeting them as players, the age of the cards, and how few cards exist for each player; I am absolutely estatic to add these to my collection. My thanks to Rhett Y, who let me in on the fact that these cards even existed. Over time, I hope to upgrade condition.

This just arrived in the mail today and I am very happy!!

From B&L...

I can't figure out why this is a "2".

Won this in B&L Auctions...

Picked this up at the Philly show. The largest postcard I have ever seen, especially pre-war. HM Taylor PC of presentation of floral horseshoe to Bill Donovan. It measures 7-1/4" x 9-1/4". The scan is approx. 80% of the actual size. And yes, Ty is actually smiling.

Mike

Just picked this one up yesterday from SGC at the PA Show. Believe it or not this is the highest graded example by SGC of this card.........

Happy with T206 PSA2 HOF'er
 

Difficult to find a nicer image.......a very, very minor wrinkle warrants the PSA2 grade. Couldn't pass it up.....................

Red Sun redux
 

Picked these up in the recent Hunt Auction, and had them graded at the Valley Forge show. Very pleased especially with the Wilder which I suspected would grade a 50, although his Momma should have taught him how to correctly button a sweater. Enjoy.

Still looking for T209s from both series, especially color.

Cheers, Mike

4 goodies that you don't see everyday ...

Just got this one in...

What an amazing piece, Brian. Congrats!

Thank You, Jason.

Had a great day at the Valley Forge show. Picked up a Old Judge Welch SGC 40, a Old Judge Beckley SGC 40.....and to top it off, had a T205 Joss grade out an SGC 50....all in all, a pretty good day. I will post pictures if I can shink the size to fit.

Here is the Joss SGC 50

WS Supplement
 

Amazing piece, Brian!

Wow, some good stuff rolling in here.

Brian: Awesome WS Supplement. I wish I could find a 12 or 18 piece like that from Fenway.
Danny: I love that pose of Johnson in the 21 exhibits.
Bob: Nice T205 Joss. Tough card.

Val: Nice stuff. If you don't mind me asking, what issue is the Vern Stephens from?

Vern Stephens Card
 

Michael,
This Vern Stephens card is from the set that is identified on page 342 of my 2008 edition of the Standard Catalog of BB Cards as "1949 Schumacher Service Station". The narrative in this edition says the location of this service station is unknown and that the year of issue could be either 1949 or 1950, as all the known players were with their identified teams for both years. I don't know if newer editions of the SCBC have any more current info.
Val

Thank You, Ed and Bob:

I bought a set of Gold Medal Foods (12) -R313A-with the original mailing envelope this weekend. Can anyone tell me the scacity or value of the envelope?
Hope to have pics soon.
Here is a link.
Thanks,
Mike

back from SGC...
 

Guys these two cards fit the thread only by the most generous of descriptions, as I have had both of these cards for many years...still I just got them entombed for safe keeping...Grove looks nicer than the grade to me.
1933 was a good year...

another Zeenut..

Bob- a nice T205 Joss is one of the most beautiful prewar cards around. Congrats.

Some recent pickups, thanks Eric and JP. If anyone has a higher grade copy of the Shag that they would like to downgrade, please let me know.

T207 alert!
 

Here's a hi-res scan of my T207 Bresnahan and a Reulbach I picked up from forum member Mike Brailey. Many thanks Mike!:)

Thanks to Leon and Scott. The long and the short of it is that this is a great card.
