My First pre-war in quite some time...
 

Very happy to have found this one closer to my budget levels and added it this week!!!
This finally completes my T207 Cubs team set.
It took me just under ten years to get this far, but I have now completed Cubs team sets in:
T200
T201
T205
T206
T207
Obviously lifted the scan from the auction, but Mr. Miller is on his way!

Congrats! What's next? E Cubs team sets?

What's next?...
 

Well, I still have two more T-sets to go: T202 and T204
gonna take some time though...especially that T204!

Nothing like a good old fashioned trade! Thanks, Steven, for this beauty!

Great cards guys! Tony love the T206 Walsh's I love the "bluish" back version, just a great contrast with the dark uniform. My contribution is one of my top 5 favorites from T206. Finally got my Matty, I just love this card!

Great addition so far! T206collector love the Schaefer!

Thank you Bill.

Got this beauty from a fellow member

Congrats Jason on the Miller and finishing another subset...feels good.

Bill..love the Matty...one of my favourites.

Paul, that's one nice looking 5!

Adam your pickups are always cool to see, love the variety.

Joey, another favourite pose....nice pickup.

Thanks guys! I'm a sucker for a colorful caramel horizontal.

Thanks Chris.

Finally picked up my first Collins-McCarthy, and as per usual had to be centered and swell pose.

congrats on your 10 year quest getting closer to completion!

you should definitely think about a Cubs E set....

tbob..cool color in that one!

Thanks Scott,...
 

I want to tackle the T202 next, and I just don't know how likely the T204 really is, but the E-cards are certainly on the longer-term radar...are the costs comparable to the T-cards, or are there some real "scarcity traps" amongst the Cubs...

I'm open to suggestions if you or anyone else has fave Cubs E-cards that they recommend or would like to show...probably better for a separate thread, though.

My REA pickup just arrived!

Any idea on the team?

Photo
 

Joe - I plan to research, but not sure of the team. With the photo being made by Columbia, Tn photographer, it may be a local middle tennesse team. (Columbia, Tn is South of Nashville by 50 minutes and North of Huntsville, Al. by 50 minutes)

There is some faint ink/pencil with date of 1902 on it, but not sure of that either. Let the research begin! (Also, I have not being able to discern the name in front of the date, 1902...)

Tip Top Wagner
 

Finally scooped up one I've been hoping to pick up for awhile...

Awesome pickup. I think the Tip Top is more aesthetically appealing than his T206. I love the manner in which those cards were printed.

Now go get a new scanner so that we can properly enjoy it. You can obviously afford it =)

Awesome card.

Tip Top Wags
 

Thanks guys, and Bryan I've been meaning to get a new scanner for a long time now lol!

Upgraded my Buck Weaver with this one!

Buck must have been the dead ball version of AROD...giving his digits to cute women in their bloomers!!!

Surprisingly, this looks better in hand than in the scans (apologies for typing those words outside the B/S/T). The ad back makes it easier for me to overlook the obvious flaws.

Very nice Rob. I was a poor excuse for a bidder on it.

Beautifull
Congrat!

Damn, 0-2 with you Rob, great Joss pickup!

I decided literally in the last five minutes to do a "double snipe" (it looks like you did, too). That was the difference. Our four bids were really close.

Last november pick up
i love the pose

Despite its "loved" condition, that Joss is a beauty!

Love to follow the pickup thread. You folks have amazing stuff.

When I show cards to family and friends, they aren't interested. It is nice to show someone so thanks for looking :)

Slip

Nice Evers.




First time for me to cross over on this thread, since a different sport. Thought it was interesting since not seen unopened box of these before.

Wow. That is the ultimate in self control. I would end up ripping every single one of those.

Unopened
 

I think if I had that box, it would haunt me until I opened every pack…

Very cool!

Take Care,

Picked up 4 more Home Run Kisses on ebay tonight.

nice bob...lots of HR kisses on ebay tonight!!!!

Thanks Pete.
Usually this means an elderly long time collector in California has passed away and his collection of cards is being sold :-( The HRK are very, very tough to find.
