Here's what I want. It sold at a Heritage auction in 2004.
Does anyone know who has it??

For me:

Prewar - 1921 Zeenut #18 Oscar Stanage (and/or 1922 Zeenut #74 Oscar Stanage)

Post war - 1987 Pocatello Giants the Bon #9 Mike Greenwood (I have been looking for this one forever to finish my Greenwood set)

Erik Greenwood

and you can afford it? Geesh! :)

Rose PC of Hal Chase. I'd murder someone for it at this point. Or pay a lot of money. Either one.

For the last 9 years I've been looking for a Willard's Chocolate Collins. I have the Ruth and Cobb but can't find the Collins.

Easy. 1915 Cracker Jack Ty Cobb. I wouldn't murder anyone (yet) but it may come to that.

Like this one?

Presentable`
 

but vg at best 69 Topps Mantle (does not have to be white letter)

well, it's definitely not a drop in the bucket ...... but i'll spend that much putting the monster together over the next 24 months ...... but if i had a shot at that card (at a reasonable price) I would put the monster on hold for a couple years and stare at that single card the entire time :)

Is that Collins yours?

Yes.

VERY NICE CARD
Do you have the Ruth and Cobb?

I bought all three as a set...can't remember where...some auction. The Collins comes up on occasion, it's not rare, just not very common. Just checked -- there are 27 graded by PSA and SGC combined.

Thanks for posting the cards.

A presentable T227 Baker to finish the baseball portion of the set.

With the money you'd spend, you could buy a W600 Cobb, a D304 Cobb and a t215 Cobb and still have PLENTY of money leftover.

Plus a card like that will most likely be spending most of its time in a bank vault.:)

so jeff...
 

hmmm... "de sade" your middle name(s)...?

Lower Grades Make Them "affordable" For Me!
 

I would love to buy any of the following 6 E98s. Each card in a lower grade is certainly acceptable by me and it is what makes them "affordable".

Cobb in a Red or Orange Background
Young in a Red or Green Background
Brown in a Red Background
Dahlen in a Blue Background

I'm hoping to somehow swing purchasing all 6 of these in 2013 to complete the Master Set....if I can find them in "affordable for me" condition.

Neat Thread!

As affordable cards go, I'd like a 1952 Globe Printing Padres card of Al Richter.

Wagner- Max Stein Postcard, or Rose Postcard.

Boy, Dave, you really hit my nail right on the head! Tough, undervalued card that's numero uno on my list also. If memory serves correctly, Steve Verkman's Clean Sweep Auctions had an EXMT last summer, and if my recollection is accurate, I believe it went for only about $1,100. Was depressed that I missed it.

Best always,

Larry

Jeff, you show-off!!! Seriously, I always love seeing items from your collection. What's with the Ty Cobb sell-off?

Best regards,

Larry

1925 or 26 Exhibit of Bill Terry and Stetson Hat PC of Phila A's.

Ricky Y

LOL woops.

Larry--I'm just getting rid of cards I've upgraded.

All Cubs
 

E254 Beaumont
T207 Saier
T207 W. Miller

I just missed a Saier on the bay. Too many of us have the subset minus Miller and Saier.

BUMP!

So we're 3 months into the year now. Has anyone grabbed their ONE card yet?

I got this out of the way pretty quickly. ;)

O'Connell, Charles Reynolds, James Roseman, Dave Rowe, Taylor Shaffer, Daniel Shannon, William Van Dyke, Harry Vaughn, William Veach, William Weaver, William White, James Williams

Can anyone help a brother out?

Thanks, Jay! I think it's an SGC 3.5, or something like that. :)

T206 Ray Demmitt, St.L (Polar Bear) in SGC50

T205 Collins with a yellow elephant

At least yours is a hurdle.......mine's Mount Everest ;)

Purchases for MY hobbies such as vintage cardboard and watches are always met with disdain.....but all her purchases are justifiable.

But as they say happy wife, happy life :)

Just beautiful.......nice get!

Have wanted for a while...
 

A 1921 Babe Ruth Exhibit, PSA 5 or SGC 60

Now for the one I can't afford - or even find centered - 1948 Leaf Satchell Paige PSA 5 or SGC 60.

t206 green cobb psa 5 or 6, just havent pulled the trigger yet and Magie in psa 2

Just sayin' Jeff... By no means boasting... This set was mine & You won it through REA. I do believe You got a Grand Deal. And when I saw that it was You that picked them uP... I felt so much better that they went to an AweSome Home!

That Ruth iS a Smoker... Doncha think!?!?

1948 Leaf Jackie Robinson PSA 5...:cool:

53 Topps Mantle
 

Love the look of the 53 Topps Mantle, looking for PSA 1 or 2 for the right price

I want an E90-1 Speaker so bad. But they're all either beat up or too pretty. I need a nice girl next door version.

T207 Irv Lewis no emblem to finish the set.

I am actually wanting to sell this, and most of my other E90-1's. If you are interested in this card let me know.

T227 Baker . . . where art thou?
