Now my earliest card (1882), and got two others, too. And as they say, "the most beautiful of the pre-war advertising cards."

Since this isn't the BST we can talk about stuff. It went for $956 after juice last night in the weekly Heritage auction. I was the under bidder. Cool card but hard to calculate value.

I wonder if Cobb-mania will extend to his rivals.

Nice Lajoie!!

Indeed. I paid through the nose for that bad boy. Sorry Leon (kinda...not completely...maybe a little sorry :p:p). I figured you may have been in on it at some point.

I wish it was an antique store find. All I ever see at antique stores and malls are junk wax, junk wax era cards, and 1960's-1980's programs and store model equipment.

I have never seen another T209 like it.

The thrill of the hunt though right? But sometimes it does pay off! While I didn't find a scrap card I did find a T206 Drum back in an antique store. Before that the best I did was finding some good/vg 55 bowman commons for cheap! And yes.. several boxes of 1988 Donruss!

Great pick ups everyone!!

Scott

I sure hope not. That Lajoie is a beauty. Congrats!

I stand corrected.

I have only seen one other like it.

Walt "Red" Kuhn T207 (Red Cycle)
 

Thrilled to cross this tough one off of my T207 want list.

My 2nd Red Cycle backed T207.

I love the look of those Red Cycle backs, great looking card!!

Damn sorry I missed out on that one!

1930's Ruth Japan Postcard
 

Thought it was a cool piece.

Here's the second 1882 Cosack that I just won. And a Peck & Snyder reverse.

I was an underbidder (though not the underbidder :)) too. Pretty crazy card. I'm not into scrap at all, but I thought it was really neat. I actually thought it went pretty cheap compared to other recent scrap T209-1 auctions. I wonder if not being slabbed contributed to that.

Greg, those Cossacks are awesome!

Tom....
 

great scrap!:eek:

Fantastic Cobb Bryan.

I got this one in yesterday. It's my first T209 Contentnea. I have several of the T210 Winston-Salem players.

Re: March 2016 New Pickups
 

Just picked this card up from another board member.
Getting closer to completion....now only 16 cards remaining.

ErikV

Congrats Erik!

That's quite an accomplishment already!

Just traded for this one..

.

My second E104-1, my second Nadja back. I guess I am now officially collecting these? Is that the rule?

Sweet pick up Ed! I've been interested in adding a Nadja back (and/or World Champions front) for a little while now. Where you find it?

Nice one Bill, great color. I love me some NOLA cards!

I got it in the Heritage Sunday auction. You never see these, then two in four months. Pretty fun! I was once told certain issues come in waves, that it is cyclical. That has proven so true.

Congrats on the first T209. King even made it into the T206 set. Nice card.

.

From last LOTG auction.

Nice
 

Nice ones Ed....especially the Virginia Extra.....Jerry

Jerry, I am happy to pick up a couple from your e-bay, too. I just got the E95 Eddie Collins from your last group. Should look real nice with the Collins E104, don't you think? That photo I picked up has a very young Edd Roush in it. My, collecting is fun.

Nice VE!

Just picked up these two !

That is a massive amount, congrats. This Pinkerton related card came in today though I had shown it before.
Sharp rppc's seem to always look better in person.

Congrats again, Danny! I've got some catching up to do!

This is my first pre-war pickup in a long time thanks to board member bort69 for selling it to me. This one has been on my want list since I was a kid.

Sweet pickups!! I'd love to upgrade my Wags with your Wags

Cool card Leon. Sorry if this is a stupid question, but is that Connie Mack's writing on the back?

One Off The List
 

Thanks to a fellow board member down to just needing 4 more players!

Great card, but that would be a RPC and not a RPPC due to the blank back.

I am not a handwriting authenticity person and can't really tell. I certainly didn't expect it or think about it. His writing resembles this, as it's kind of fancy, but I seriously doubt it.

Cool card either way. If there was a way to confirm it was his it would make it that much more interesting. Do you recognize the name of the person who presented that card to whoever wrote that?

CJ 15s seem to be "red" hot now, as least PSAs, for some reason--any idea why? Just the usual couple guys trying to boost registry, bidding against each other for awhile, or something else, as CJ 14s fade a bit. http://www.net54baseball.com/attachm...1&d=1457842449

my first CJ:

I can not THANK Jerry T. enough for making this card available to me !!!!!!!!!! :):)

I have always thought :rolleyes: this is the toughest card in a set with a lot of tough cards. It is now my Holy Grail !!!!!

Attachment 224235

BTW --- Also #100 ;)

("only" 5 super tough ones left: Both Wagners, Clarke, Pit., Sweeney, Bost. and Jackson :confused:)

Fun stuff, Scott

That's one thing I hate about Hunts, no back images. So I guess you asked for a back scan then??
For the price, its a nice addition for sure. Kinda reminds me seeing your Texas Tommy. Which I think I saw in a current or recent auction.

Not only one of the tougher slogans, but a 150 subjects to boot!
