Nice Sam.

E94 overprint
 

That's cool Sam...Jerry

That is a great looking, dark and focused, overprint. Congrats.
Generally, I don't collect too many cards with creasing in the facial area, but this would be a definite exception.
And it's a difficult overprint. As I recall, it was the last one I needed to finish the known set at that time (long gone now). I think 1 more different one has been discovered, but my brain is always a bit foggy...the '70s and all....:o

Thanks Phil, Jerry & Leon!

Brian

Babble time -- It's the St. Patty's parade in Savannah today. That's when all the tourists come and get sloppy drunk, and all the locals (like me) stay away:

Rudolph / a self made man -- He was a very successful pitcher (spit baller) in Toronto, but was annoyed he never got a major lg. chance. Often claiming he'd quit. So he wrote to many team presidents asking for try out, no responses. One day he recognizes a Braves coach on a train and corners him. He pestered the coach enough that he got a try out -- successful -- made team. The team was the 1914 Miracle Braves, which he did very well. In the WS, where Braves swept Athletics, he won both his games: Both complete, giving up only 1 run in each. So here we have a T206 player, who most (including me) just glance over turning into a very interesting Coupon player.

Kruger -- The most interesting aspect being that Baseball Reference shows he never played for Columbus (this may have been discussed before). During those years he played for Kansas City in the American Assoc. For those who care ....... :p

Fun, fun, Scott :rolleyes:

New member here. I am very impressed with the cards posted in the thread, especially the Cobb card. Well done, gents.

I was away from the hobby for close to 18 years and decided to get back in.

I picked up a few cards off eBay to jump start me again, after coming to deals with the sellers.

Clyde Milan b18. Paid $5 at an antique store. Don't think the seller knew what it is.

MARCH Pick Up Thread
 

Went to the Philly Show & sold a bunch of 56-69 Mantles, 2 MJs, & a few other cards.

My 2 key March pick-ups were a 1914 CJ WaJo & 1915 CJ Wagner.

Been looking low and high for this
 

Finally found a copy. Muchinsky's "Baseball Pinback Buttons" book. Looking forward to going thru it.

It is one fine card, sir! I am a BIG Cecil Travis fan. One of my all-time favorites, and one of the most underrated, IMO.

+1 Agree

LOVE IT

March Pick Ups
 

Picked these up at white plains today. I owned that same signed 33 goudey Grimes years ago, funny how cards sometimes make it back to your collection!

All in 1 day!

Very cool Jeff

Very cool - had my eye on that Cobb, never seen it before.

Sorry to break up the Pre War Pickups, but I picked this Mays item up!

Fantastic addition to your Cobb oeuvre Jeff, congrats.

Amazing pickups Jeff

.................. Have not had a "back upgrade" in quite awhile ........ That and I always enjoy my "slightly OC" ABs ............ ;)

Fun, fun, Scott :rolleyes:

[Might be time to get a new scanner .... that vertical pink line is getting annoying ...... :(]

R315
 

My meager pick up. I have a horizontal, 5-cards, R315 strip and this will go with it nicely.

Happy to have stumbled across and add this Kroh print anomaly to my collection.

I’ve been looking for a nice E95 Bender for a while. I’ve always loved how his hat shows on this card, and always looking to add some of the really cool looking cards from the pre WWI era. He will go nicely with the little non T206 group.

Enjoy the week,
Bob

Thought I was going to snag this guy on for a song but ran into a fierce bidding war late. Happy to prevail and add this RPPC to the collection!

Wanted it for Cicotte, but happy to add Smokey Joe and a young Tris Speaker to the collection as well.

Attachment 655772

Awesome postcard, was bidding too. Went strong despite the lack of description from REA.

No mention of Wood (or being once owned by Wood), Speaker, Hooper, Cicotte... crazy.

Congrats! Was by far my favorite item in that auction.

+1 Sweet Pick up Jeff

Fantastic postcard, congrats. Would that be Joe Woods sister in the front row?

Got these beauties from Fed Ex a little while ago. Got into a little bit of a bidding war on the Jordan card.

I don't know the identities. I just enjoy the cabinet.

Another type card, D323....a few years later than WWII but sometimes I go off track a little.
Ironically, I had a different card of his for this same series type card in my first collection. Maybe he's a common card in the series :confused:.

LCS pickups today. Like my $30 Waner? I like my $30 waner 🤣🤣🤣😂😂 I wish they were all this affordable.

T204
 

ramly with cool back stamp

Sweet pickup, Jim. Here's my display of what Clark Griffith lovingly referred to as "my little ballclub," his first Washington team of 1912-1915, which went from 7th to 2nd and finished in the first division all four years.

so cool. i have a t206 jake beckley w/ a harold perris stamp

I am very happy with these new additions.

Stan arrived in the mail today, just in time to sneak into the batch of March pickups.

Glad you got it!

Couple new adds for the Yankee RC PC.
