Nice Brown Lenox Ryan, my bid wasn’t big enough. Glad you got it...:mad:

LOL, what was that you said after getting the Cobb back?

You got me Jay! I am an addict, I guess.

beautiful lenox!

a busy month that will keep me on the sidelines for a while... I like that low grade is out of the spotlight :)

Great looking Jax!

Perhaps not Walter's best looking card.......................

Can't stop looking at this one. My SGC 1.5 copy is now available at cost if anyone is interested.

Real nice looking E107, Luke :cool:

1880s Sporting Life trade card. Just need one more to complete the set of 8 :D

A huge item, checked off of my want-list!! (Posted on a separate thread)

Been a good month with the Houston card show/ebay/dealers

Ken, as I said on a different thread- that is one beast of a card.
Dan, I love that you bought back your own card. I have done that myself (at least twice)
Jeff, great great pickups. Congrats
C-MACK- that’s a hell of a haul.

A relatively quiet, but impressive, June so far.

I had been looking for a 52 Topps Eddie Mathews or a T206 Red Cobb. I found a nice Mathews first and could really only afford one. So I found this bad boy last night to fill in for the T206 Red Cobb till I can save up for a nice beater Red Cobb with a Old Mill back. The cracked slab made it even cheaper.:D

Mine is # 450/777, can't believe how much these Lucky 7 Promo cards have been selling for.

Sweet card Brian

Love the big bordered cards.

Great stuff Gents, the latest additions to my Goudey HOF group.

Leon, you should've just kept this one...

;)

That's a nice looking card you got there, good pick up.

King of Swat

postcards
 

These are on the Japanese thread on the other side of the board, but since they're pre-war I thought I'd share them here too.

In 1909 the University of Wisconsin sent a baseball team to Japan to play a series of games against the Keio and Waseda University teams. Some post cards were printed to commemorate the occasion. The postcard with the action shot below is a view of the 9/22/09 game between Wisconsin and Keio that Keio won in 11 innings. There's a scoreboard in the background, and squinting through a loupe at it leads me to believe that this picture was taken in the bottom of the 4th inning. That would put the Americans in the field and Keio at bat. No future major leaguers in this game, but if those are the Americans are in the field there's a good chance that the catcher would go on to be a justice of the Wisconsin State Supreme Court.

The other postcard is notable for how old it is. It's postmarked June 1, 1891, which is only about 20 years after baseball was introduced to Japan. It's the earliest baseball-related Japanese card that I've ever encountered.

Whoa, great Ruth!

Thanks to Luke and Colton for these two "back upgrades" ....... :)

Fun stuff, Scott :rolleyes:

1951 Gordie Howe Ebay pickup
 

removed

I would leave it. That is a perfect card especially in today's climate.
Here is one of many new rppcs...

!!

Nice Jay! Back presents well.

Congrats Jay

Very nice Jay. Great pickups lately (you must be bored in year 3 of law school!)

Pretty excited to get this guy in the mail yesterday
 

Overall, number 351 in the rebuilt Howe collection. Hindu back number 18 (equally nine Southern Leaguers, nine major leaguers) but the first HoFer with a Hindu back.
Just keeping a running total, there are 11 major leaguers with Old Mill back and 15 southern leaguers with the Old Mill Southern League back. All the rest are Piedmonts.

Hi Ed, nice to see that you got another one. :)

Duke

Nice Cobb; red background is classic (ly on my wish list)

Just got back into collecting recently since i was a kid. Picked my first Mantle up last week.

Thanks!

Lots of scary stuff going on but still great guys right here at net54 to buy from!
