First t206 HOF
 

My first t206 HOFer arrived today.

Nice pick up Patrick,
Is that a back stamp on the bottom?

Looks that way. I just held it up in the sun and it looks like it says clyde. That's a nice catch because I hadn't noticed it until you pointed it out.

A little West Coast "Type" addition.

Thank you eric (tripp trapp!!)

Oh baby, nice one!

Picked these up a few days ago.

Nice Josh! You got it. Awesome.

Nice group of Recruits Robert, congrats on the pick up.

Having a great month with Cobb. Half the credit goes to Jay and the other half to Henry. Thanks!

You just barely beat me on that Sporting News :). Nice pickup

Wow Chad, great haul!

Ben, I Love the 1906 Cubs PC

Thanks Ryan. I am pretty excited.

One of the last cards of my Kashin run and one of my favorite Mel Ott images. Member pick up, thank you Derek.

Picked up my first T202 Cobb. Card has some creases but at least the Cobb end panel is clean.

A nice little Cracker Jack addition. Registration on the card is superior to the registration on the label.

Have to show off some tough Cub Alexander's I got this month!

Red Murray

This came today. I really like the W574s.

Happy to snag the signed Big Cat rookie at Wheatland. Now just need to straighten it out inside its holder.

Adding some more Hornsby to this thread. Had been hunting for one of these for a bit.

Phil, isn't that Mel's rookie card?

That's arguable, I think it is as it was his 1st widely available image, the hobby in general considers the Goudeys his rookie card since that qualifies as a "card" more than the thinner stock Kashin. Technically his true rookie card would be the Goblin Merrymint O.H. Melville card but I think there's only one of those.

Either way, the Kashin is one of his better playing day images in my opinion.

Nice Hornsby Adam, that one is surprisingly hard to find, and is my favorite image behind his 21 exhibits.

Thanks Phil. I was really happy to see one pop up.

3rd 1916 Joe Jackson Advertising Back
 

This is my 3rd 1916 Jackson Advertising Back

This is one of the tougher ones to locate and very unique

Trying to do a Run on the Backs of these Cards.

I want to thank Matt E. transacting with me on this.

Always looking for others

Wowzers!

Picked up this 1927 Jimmie Foxx

Thanks Robbie!
 

I want to thank Robbie for a flawless transaction as I added this amazing Foxx to my HOF collection! I blew right by my intended budget but how could I say no to this one??

Also, I added "grass" to my card cave so I thought I'd add a few additional images to give a virtual tour of my ever-changing card cave. Dang - still have NOT mastered keeping photos right side up!

(You might also see that I have given a special honor to the 2 cards that "started it all" for me in 1974 as an 8 year old Red Sox fan... good old Juan Beniquez and Rick Miller)

thanks again, Robbie!

Jeff

Congrats on the Foxx Jeff, he was a great pick for your next target.

Re- sideways photos I've also had issues with just about anything taken from my iphone. They almost always post sideways here, though being properly oriented in my saved file. I've even tried to save four files of a pic, each rotated at 90 degrees and re-posting them one at a time. However when I preview the post, the only orientation that won't display is right side up.

The only way I've gotten them to right side up is to open the file in a format like paint, re-save it, then post. Guessing there are easier fixes, but this works for me.

Jeff, that Jax Holmes to Homes is AMAZING!!! So Tough. Congrats

Whoa! Awesome card!

Nice pickup Paul...I have never seen a blue ink version of W560 cards. They are normally either just black or red ink, or black and red. It looks legit, and it does have the SGC seal of approval, so congrats.

Brian

Jeff, congrats on the Foxx. By the way, where did you get those blown-up stadium photos? I've been toying with the idea of something similiar.

Jeff, congrats on getting the Joe Jax with a CLEAN H to H back. I would so love to pick up a WaJo with a comparable H to H back. I'm going to really enjoy watching you add to your 1916 Joe Jax back run.

If you PM me, I’ll track down the site - I bought the rights to the photo I wanted, and then ordered a custom canvas print to fit the opening of the old fireplace.

The photo rights were about $20, the canvas cost about the same and the stand was maybe $10?

Total, about $50 when all was said/done

I'l appreciate the website as well. Can you post it here for others? Great set-up, thanks for letting us see it.

Wow you guys get some amazing cards- love seeing your Chief Benders and uh that random guy Cobb 😆

All T206 backs except for Byrne are EPDG, Cycle, American Beauty ... thank you Luke for the latter 2 backs (middle 2 T206 cards in pic)!

Cool.....
 

Renay,

Love that pre-war Benintendi RC Auto! Just kidding! I do like the way he plays! Albeit now a Royal! Great pickups! Love that Bender/Matty 1905 Spalding cut-out page! Sweet! :)

Peace, Mike :cool::p

Sure... I found the picture at Alamy, a photo licensing company.

Here is the link (tons of great images, $19.99 for the one I used)

Just got this simply because it makes me smile and I love that you can be Walter Johnson and still enjoy a totally unrelated hobby like dog showing :)

Nice pick up. Walter Johnson, 1st five, a man of incredible character. People often posit "if you could have dinner with five people who would they be?"
For me Walter Johnson would be one of them. Here's a 1/1 of Walter in hunt mode in the year 1913 when he owned the league.

That's an awesome image, shows perfectly him having strong character in his posture that he backed up on the field... and as a person. I also like how he always dressed the part even outside of baseball. And that you used 'posit'!
