And here's another shortprinted T205. This was an eBay BIN I was looking at for a couple of days before I realized it was one of the tougher Piedmont Factory 42 backs. I must say, the card presents a lot nicer in hand than in the scan. In hand the crease is noticable in the gold borders, not so much across the face as the scan shows.

Very excited about this pickup. Definately the cornerstone of my collection.

P.S. Any info on this player would be greatly appreciated. I beleive his name is Clem Kimerer.

I just won this off ebay and am super happy about this one. I had to spend a little bit of my termite money, but figured since I have been trying to pry one of these away from a pair of Board memeber for closing in on two years, with no luck, I better buy it while I have the chance. Frank and David, I will stop the every 6 month offers now for yours!!

I am down to only needing the American Beauty from the confirmed list. Let me know if you have one in any condition, please.

Bob

Beautiful cabinet, Bester. Congrats!

Yeah, I had seen that as well as another entry as Clem KiMMerer. I think they might be the same person because the signature on the back only has one M and the Kimmerer on baseball-reference is listed as playing for Houston.

Jason, thanks for the compliment! I really like it myself.

Britt - great item. You may want to pass this Kimmerer/Kimerer info on to bb reference - it's the kind of thing they like to know about and fix.

I'm glad I didn't run you up Jeff. Nice pickup, Bruce is probably a little jealous.

B/S/T pickup. I do a little dance around it every six hours or so...

Picked up these cards to my growing E93 collection (thanks shammus and tbob!). I think I'm going to have to send the Plank back to PSA for a reholder, however.

Picked up the Steinfeldt from forum member bowlingshoegiverouterguyon. Thanks!

Last card to complete T 206 SL set
 

Just recieved the last card (Ryan) to complete my T 206 Southern League set. First set I have ever put together. Wanted to complete and then upgrade to make sure I got it done.

Nice work D!

good work on a tough lot.

Carry on,
Bob

Good job Dynarl

T206 E. Collins, no name!
 

This card does look to be short, but how far is the farthest that you all have seen the name below the pic on these cards? Take a look at the backs scan as all of the factory info is included. This is one funny looking card to me.

I need the AB Collins!!!!

Thanks to all,
Bob

new pick up
 

a few cycles

Congrats Dynarl, glad to see you complete an interesting T206 subset.

I was able to pick-up a nice American Eagle Tobacco Co. (Detroit based) baseball themed trade card this month after a couple year search. Thanks to Bruce Babcock for some early help confirming this was the real deal. I hope to further research the content to determine year of issue but currently believe it dates to early to mid 1880s. I also included the 2008 stamp that was based off this vintage image.

A Few Upgrades
 

Recent upgrades including the rare N28 Caruthers "Alfalfa" variation. ;)

Tolstoi Backs
 

I now have over 30 total Tolstoi backs...I hope to keep the momentum going!

(Scans are cut off a tad)

cozmo -

Is that 421 different players? If so, huge props that is awesome!

A couple of HOFers.

Nice Joe! I've been looking for that card since the stamp came out.

tough one

I was wondering what happened to that Marquard BL-and now I know.
Nice pickup Mike.

nice photo Phil! Here's the postcard...

A couple Wagners...
 

Anytime you can cross a Wagner off your wantlist, you done good. If you get two within the same week or so....you've really lucked out. And these are two toughies as well..... Big thanks to Toby and Tom for helping me along on a couple of my longterm projects

Attachment 20558

Thanks, Jeff. I actually used that postcard to identify the photo that I picked up on e-bay.

Jeff - that's a beauty of a postcard.

old school psa...

Not exactly pre-war, but I am very excited to share this latest acquisition.

1 for 2
 

I was after two Kargers last week one Ebay. I ended up winning just one of them.

This one has a Piedmont 350 back. (Ted Z. ;))

phenomenal smith

Couple more W514 and T206
 

Another one down. Thanks Lee.

I only have 11 of 96 so far... But I thought this was a nice addition.

http://i659.photobucket.com/albums/u...Gehrigback.jpg

Received this one in the mail today............gotta love the great El Caballero!!!

another T210 added..

It's been a while...
 

Picked up my first pre-war (that isn't family-related) in over a year with the addition of this one...I was impressed with the strong image quality...hopefully it proves true when it arrives...

Here's are 1915 Composites of the two Pittsburgh BB Clubs, National & Federal Leagues. Specially note the inclusion of Dazzy Vance on the NL squad as he only pitched one game (2.2 innings) ever for the Pirates and it was his ML debut.

T206 Buybacks
 

The Cycle Back is a Jim Stephens St. Louis Browns, The Izzy Hoffman Providence has a Polar Bear Back.

Thanks Blair!

Great pick-ups !!!

Phil, love those Pitts NL/FL ................. some great looking "mugs !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" *



* Correct use of punctuatuion:confused::p

Dazzy -1915
 

Phil,
I love that composite...but what's up with Dazzy Vance's photo?
He should have been just 24 years old, and he looks like a grandpa already!!!

Although he pitched for 20 more years, Ol Daz looks like he's ready to retire after those 8 batters he faced in '15.

;)
