Here is your help Larry!
 

1943 M.P & CO. (R302-1)

One of the few baseball card sets issued during world war II, the set is unnumbered, and the cards measured approximately 2-5/8" X 2-1/4" and were produced in two major types and at least five subtypes.
They were originally produced in strips and sold inexpensively in candy stores.
M.P & Co. stands for Michael Pressner and Co., a new york city novelty and carnival supply firm.

Best,

Andy

Thanks guys, night number one is in the books! I think this will be my last "pickup" in this department. I'll be too old to go through this again! I appreciate all the well wishers.

Couple from the BST. Thanks John and Cy for the great service.

From the b/s/t. To my kids, "a pix of an old dead guy". Knowing the CdV and auto came from his personal collection excites my inner nerd. The man that touched these played in the "first" base ball game, my link to the past.

Tim: One of those pickups that makes me envious. What is the issue of the group of three? I really like that Murray card. The Adshead, which I suppose has been determined to be a Vancouver Peanuts card, is a keeper, too.

David: I believe the group of 3 are J=K Candy cards and with your help and others last night I'm pretty certain the other is a Vancouver Peanuts.

Those are awesome! Is there anything on the back?

Glad to pick up this HOFer...

One more violet off the check list. Six to go.

Jim and John - awesome pickups. JP - Congrats!

Josh, nice pickup, glad you're getting closer.

Another new set to try and complete :eek:

Hi Bob,

Enjoy the chase on the C46s - I've picked up a few in the last year (though I'm not after the set). I like the cards! You'll find a fair few offered out of Canada, of course. The Gandil still seems to command quite a high price when offered.

Cheers,
Blair

Meanwhile, working on another impossible set (I love a challenge). Thanks again Glen.

Thanks so much to Tim C. for a great B/S/T transaction...

International Association Detroit Wolverines
 

A special pick-up for me last week on eBay at a great price. Rooks is amongst the tougher, if not the toughest, International Association Detroit card. Only one of Rooks five poses are known with Detroit (his other cards being 1888 Chicago Maroon cards). This card goes well with my Wheelock OJ and a great letter from manager Robert Leadley to Robert Allen in which both Wheelock and Rooks are mentioned while Manager Leadley apologizes for not being able to sign Robert Allen.

This letter is one of several I was able to purchase from Rhys Yeakley awhile back, the contents follow:

Goodwin & Co. took two different approaches in updating the cards of Wheelock and Rooks. For Wheelock they simply removed Boston from his 1887 photo while Rooks received a big "DETROITS" (plural) over the top of Chicago (1888 Chicago Maroon photo).

wow Joe, congrats!

May has been a good month...
 

Glad to snag this bad boy...

At last!!!!
 

Been waiting forever for this one to add to my set. Thanks Brian for the great trade, glad it could help us both out :D

That is one fine looking lefthander, Bob. Congrats!

Congratulations Bob! That is a fantastic card....in my book, the best!

Pardon the inclusion of what are IMO the most attractive cards of the greatest basketball player of all time.

I have looked for one of these for three years solid, and finally got it! I am looking to upgrade, but am THRILLED to have gotten this one. Thanks to Jimmy at jbsportsauctions for helping me out on this one.
I still need the AB 350 (anyone$$) and Cycle 350 (Frank??$$) if anyone can help!

My brand new SC 350,25 Eddie Collins!

Thanks,
Bob

From the B/S/T... Thanks Mackmen!

David that Wildfire is on "Fire" what a nice looking card.

The back set is coming along swell. Glad I have a Hindu! This one was fairly cheap. I don't mind the ink on the back. I still think the Sweet Caps are much harder to find listed on major sites at fair prices than the Piedmonts!

Check out my collection link below if you want to see the rest.

It's Been A Really Good Month
 

May has been a great month for finding elusive cards in sets I am collecting. I finally managed to snag the final color variation of Jennings in the E94 set. The blue one was much tougher to find than any other color for me when it came to old Ee-yah. :D

Damn nice snag there Leon. What a beauty.

I was pleased to get this one. It has a hairline crease through the center, which isn't visible in the scan. If I were to get it reholdered, would PSA update the flip to show that it's a Piedmont? I don't want to pay the shipping charge just to get one card reholdered; do they reholder at the National?

One more. I pulled the trigger on a BIN after losing an auction at close to this price.

Congrats Bob! What is the count now?

My first Old Judge and a hometown hero.

Nice Old Judge Rawn. A couple of V100's. I like the writing on the back although it would kill the grade if slabbed. No plans for me to slab these.
