Just got this one in the mail today. Thanks to Eric Merka for a great deal. He was very easy to work with, and this is easily the most pleasant transaction I have ever had on this board. I wouldn't expect anything less though, he's a U of Michigan fan. :)

My favorite team, with my favorite back, and a HOF portrait to boot! This one isn't going anywhere for a long time.

1906 Chicago White Sox

1912 World Series RPPC
 

A RPPC showing a crowd in Colorado gathered around to watch the scoreboard get updated for the final game of the 1912 World Series.

Joe- that's a great postcard, and the photo was shot just an hour or two before Snodgrass made his fatal error.

thanks barry.

I love that people gathered around to watch the box-score chalkboard get updated.

This is before TV, and before radio.... so the updates were telegraphed in and put on the chalkboard. Awesome to see how the world series was enjoyed on 'main street' in colorado.

A Few Other Recent Acquisitions:

1912 pc
 

I wondered who outbid me on that PC. Nice pickup JOE.

Rawn

Joe- back in 1870, when the Brooklyn Atlantics and the Cincinnati Red Stockings played the most famous game of that era, Peck and Snyder had the inning by inning score come in by telegraph, and big throngs would gather outside the store to hear the up to the minute results.

Another of my PCL HOFers. PCL Batting Champ 1922 (.384) and 1923 (.394).

Hey Phil, that Baseball Magazine Giants premium looks like it found a good home.

Steve, that's a beautiful card of Paul Strand. Last I knew his 325 hits in 1923 is still the most ever in a single season in professional baseball. Good results for turning a pitcher into an outfielder.


And here's a pickup of mine that I'm so tickled with I had to post... Now doesn't this guy look like a ballplayer, grimy uniform, looks like he should be an attendant at a gasoline house...

i scored this one at the boss show the other night.

nice Score Dave....but the F word isn't really appropriate for our board....now if that chick would have taken off her shirt we might have something going .....but then too maybe that would have been too much too.....btw, it's the "go advanced" tab in in the edit box....(leon)

I just fell of the chair. Will diet Coke do?

hmm....how does one delete an image?

...scored these from the B&L aucathon.

Love
 

I think I'm in love.

Not as great as some of your stuff but a card I've wanted for a long time none the less.

Pete I am no CJ expert but I believe a poor Wagner CJ is still a Great CJ by anymeans. Congarts on the nice pickups.

Congrats to everyone this month on their neat pickups. Alot of neat cards here and what a push at the end. Good month:)
