Frank:

Excellent pick-up on the stray line! I guess there still are a few deals to be had on eBay. :D

Delongs
 

It's been a busy month but almost there with the set (a nice low grade one)!

very nice David!

That premium is a real beaut, David!!!
I'm glad to see someone else who frames his fav's as much as I do.

best,

barry

David:

That premium looks amazing in its new home. The inner red matting really makes the image pop.

Trio of 1888 Detroits
 

While I've completed all of the 1887 Detroit Old Judge poses, I'm far from having all the 1888s (and never will). Here are some recent pick-ups from three different sources covering all three different Goodwin & Co. types for 1888 (Fa, Fb, & G - for those that have read "The Book"). For Detroit, new players for 1888 were issued as Fb while some of the 1887 re-issues are Fa and others Fb. So the Rowe is a re-issue of an 1887 pose, Baldwin is all new, and the Ganzel cabinet was first issued as an N172 in 1887, but the cabinets debuted in 1888, the last year Detroit was in the league. For those with interest, I'll be posting another special pick-up that dates to 1888 on the Memorabilia forum.

Super Duper David. Bravo on the T200 premium and a nice frame job.

Joe - great cards and great explanation. I received my copy of "the book" a few weeks ago, and going through it page by page, word by word, will be one of the first things I get to do when I'm done studying in late July.

Matt - that is a really really nice Anson in any grade, and awesome for a 3. I'm glad you finally got one - I know you've been looking and waiting for a very long time for that card. That wait and that card at the end of it are exactly why we collect.

David, great framing job on a great piece.

Bob -- I love those pickups, especially the Matty.

Wow David, glad I opened this thread. That is a great piece especially with the frame!

Joe--Great cards! I bet some day you finish all the Detroit Old Judge poses.

Joann--Enjoy the book!

david- amazing piece, nice frame job!

I used to own the House of David variation, but this will have to do for now.

Marty- Really nice E98 Wagner, you don't see them in orange very often for some reason, nice card.
Frank J- What a deal! Maybe there aren't that many T205 guys here but that was a heckuva pickup and for $39.99 that's incredible! The original scan made the card look fishy but your scan shows the card is real and original. Great job!

My first 19th Century card and a key T-206 pickup...

...bidding on cards you own
 

when i saw this on ebay, i thought about the post last month about "bidding on cards you already own." i have 2 e98 vaughns already - blue and red. figured i'd try to pick up an orange for the same price as the others. i'm happy i put in a bid. what a steal...

E92 with Toy Town stamp !!

last night
 

I picked this up last night. Not vintage, but I thought it was really cool. I never saw one before- apparently issued by Helmar (potato chip company in the mid-west). It's an 11x14 silk.

David- great minds think alike (on the Vaughn). I should have bid a little bit higher to steal it. Congrats.

Thanks Rhys, this helps the slow moving D311 set toward completion.

I'd like to thank Joey Simas for this pickup:)

Thanks Anthony!

Stunning BoSox Premium there David!

delawareT206 - Nice pick-up, ironically Bresnahan was the first HOFer T206 that I bought also.

My first T211
 

Thanks to Jeremy J for making this little beauty available. It's a great pitching pose, but almost all the poses in this series are interesting. Anyone else ready to part with a T211? Ha!

Cheers, Mike

That's a beauty of a card! Good story on the back and the coloring on the front is amazing. Nice pick up!
