That is quite a collection! For T206, I just have Piedmont (2), Sweet Cap, EPDG, and a Drum pouch. I also have an Allen and Ginter/Richmond Straight Cut, a Goodwin & Co/Old Judge pack, and a Crofts Cocoa tin. Take care my friend.

Hopefully noone gets sick of the cig pack discussion but aside from the Tostoi, these were a couple of my other pickups this year...

Those are beauts, buddy.
Packs are sure getting popular, aren't they?!
We'd best hurry and buy them up. :)

Mike- That Block is more than just pesky, it may be THE toughest card to find in the set for some bizarre reason. As a guy who has put together 3 T207sets, card by card, I can attest to its difficulty. Because it has a Recruit back, collectors generally think it is not tough as the Anonymous, Cycle and Broadleaf back cards but my advice to anyone collecting this set is to grab one in any condition, then wait and upgrade.
Rob A.- Dynamite Zeenut Tobin with coupon. Simply great pickup!

I am going to pickup some Walsh cards to go with my tiny Wheat collection. I am naturally a White Sox fan so I could not resist this amazing looking Walsh!

Damn nice Walsh, Seth.

Thanks David!
 

Thanks David, it looks just as nice in person! I also picked up this semi-rarity, but I do not have a scan of the back as it is not in yet. I might not be able to get one up soon as the computer that has my scanner software on it is in for service and may not be back for a while. Anyhow, here is the T206 Dahlen Brooklyn variation I have coming in (it is a Piedmont 350 back- the one just sold on eBay).

Some paper loss on the back brought this down to 2.5, but the front is incredible.

My latest '40 Play Ball.

Wow! Amazing card Jeff!

Couple of pretty good looking SGC 40 Exhibits...

Great cards everyone!

Anyways here it is....just need two more for the Red Sox team set. (Anyone know where I can find a raw beat up T3 Speaker???)

Trae, Matt, Daryl, Pete -- thanks. I love this card, probably my third favorite pickup of the year.

Thank You, Robert:

My first Obak and Fatima cards...

Both from fellow board members...thanks guys!!

Just Arrived
 

N172 Kansas City Blue player. Thanks, Dave!

Wilson E-90
 

I'll get a better scan when it is in and when my computer is back from getting fixed. I couldn't pass this up for $45!!

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/u.../WilsonE90.pnghttp://i649.photobucket.com/albums/u...sonE90Back.png

I felt fortunate to snag this one via a BIN on eBay before the world's leading collector of ultra high rare (sic) type cards saw it. The fact that this card once was in a Goodwin & Co. auction makes it all that more special.

In all seriousness, I didn't foresee adding any Lajoies to the brood this year, so finding a D304 Brunners, despite the off condition, was an early Christmas present.

cool rob, if you binned it during the bing 20% would've been even sweeter! i was looking for that cardduring that period but it was gone, prolly wasn't motivated enough but glad it went to someone who'd appreciate it.

Kevin,
Nice OJ.

Great Red Sox R309, docpatlv! That one is on my want list for 2010.

Thanks Jason,

They don't show up too often as this is the first time I had seen the Boston team in person. I had seen the other two previously. Good luck in your quest and if I see another I will let you know.

Last Pirate of the year!
 

OK ... not Pittsburgh and slightly O/T as they're all Chinese themed, but for < $1, I couldn't pass it up ...

http://i.ebayimg.com/20/%21BhgbUcwB2...g%7E%7E_12.JPG

mostly because these guys needed a drab friend.

http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x.../GreenBlue.jpg

.... they'll have to suffice for the real thing.

Happy Holidays to all.

Neat array of pick-ups, Doc Mike. This photo was at auction a year or two ago, might have been Henry Yee but not sure, in case you hadn't seen the image. (I was not the winning bidder but I saved the jpeg; great picture of Muggsy and Matty).
http://photos.imageevent.com/kawika_...tty%201922.jpg

David,

Thanks for showing that picture, I haven't seen it before. By the way, it's available if you're willing to give up your Falk cabinet Matty yet :D (That's my favorite Matty piece!)

Mike

Picked myself up a Cycle Back
 

Got this from a fellow board member in the B/S/T. This will probably be sent off for grading sometime soon. My first Cycle back! I got a new computer and the scanner is working again so I will be posting some AWESOME pickups in the coming days. Looking at the SGC pop report, there are no Cycle backs graded. This could be a pretty rare one!

Huge thank you to scotty21690 for the Stahl for Stahl trade!

Thank you also, Jay!

Man, Johnny...You seem to be making some pretty good progress on that Bender collection as of late. Do you have an album of them online somewhere?

Regards,

Richard.

Recently back from SGC. I was very happy to get this card.......

Wow...
 

Very jealous of that one, Steven!


One of my goals for 2010 is to purchase a Joe Wood vintage card [Red Sox uni only].

EDIT: You live in New Salem?? I live about ten minutes away in Athol. :)

Nice pickups, everyone.

Steven:

If you ever get bored with the Wood, feel free to send it my way. :)


Managed to land my first Massachusetts born N172 player:

Hey Richards just saw your question no I don't have any website of my Benders but hopefully next year will get something together. Tim you miners Bender is really sick, very very nice card !!

That Bender is beautiful, why such a low grade?

Thank you. There is a small crease in the upper left corner.

Hi Steve,

Super pickup!

Regards,
Michael
