Catcher Postcard
 

Picked this cool looking pc up off of eBay tonight. Not the greatest condition, but loved the serious pose.

Patrick

Just back from Beckett...............

Wow, very nice Phil!!

I hate you Phil.

Steve - I learned it from the family themselves when they bought my HRK Lindsay.

Another great transaction from Toby.

A few More E98s closer to the master!
 

Thanks to a couple fellow board members who replied to my monthly E98 want list. I appreciate the opportunity to purchase them. The two blue ones have a miscut back to them. Interesting variation since the fronts are fine. If anyone has anymore to sell, please check my want list on the BST.
I would love to buy more that I need.
Thanks,
Tim Kindler

Oh, beautiful E98 Lajoies posted earlier in this thread. My hat is off to you.
Tbob, great to see you got a few more E94s closer to the master.

I picked up the E270 Tin Top Frank Manush (Toledo) recently, as I already had the New Orleans version. Notice how they corrected the spelling mistake on the Toledo version. Frank was Heinie's older brother...

Also picked up two new E270 Red Borders, Otto Williams and some guy named Speaker...

I also picked up about (100) 1924-27 Zeenuts from that large group recently auctioned on ebay...

great pickups Jeff, really like the postcard!

great E270 Speaker
 

Great E270 Speaker, Rhett.

Here is a W571/D305 Bond Bread 1947 Perforated Holmes/Chappius. This is the front and back, or the back and front....uh...well, never mind on front and back but here is a weird looking one.....and since I do pre-1950 types my apologies for the slightly OT year of mfg.

T206's

Jeff -

That B18 Blanket looks pretty frickin cool in an SGC holder.

would be even cooler if SGC slabbed it with a diamond cutout (image and type would be straight).... but either way - that is pretty nice looking.

Joe, I hadn't thought of that -- and it's a great idea, I wonder why they don't have their inserts that way? I can't imagine many other issues could be used for the square insert used for the blanket. A diamond shape would look awesome. I'm guessing Dave probably nixed the idea, after all he hates kittens and puppies too and caused the rain last night in Manhattan.

A couple off the BST.

Been looking for this one for a long time.

There has been alot of Pied 42 for sell of late
 

I did get one

Thinking about mailing this to him to see if he'll autograph it for me.

:p Nice card Anthony.

You'll have a hard time getting his signature, Anthony. Dell Darling died in 1904. Boy, are you dumb, or what?

PS. Condolences to the Darling family.

Nah, there's a family down in Escondido, CA who insist he's still signing...

That is a nice B-18 Cobb.

As for the comments about it being holdered diaganally, I agree that B-18s would look better that way, but they won't fit that way in the holder. Diaganal dimensions for a B-18 are 7 7/16". The holder is the same one SGC uses for T3s. Diaganally, the width of a B-18 exceeds the holder's width by just over 1/4" (that's without the black frame, ie., between the clear plastic edges.

If/when SGC creates a holder to contain 8x10 photos, or for instance, M101-2 Sporting News Supplements, that would hold a B-18 diaganally.

Steve

you beat me on that one!!!!!!!!!!:eek:

Like many have said, now is a great time to be a buyer on ebay.

Tharp's Gehrig. Thanks Val.

Attachment 22566

Attachment 22567

Picked up an autograph of the man who board members widely confirm to be the 2nd best 2nd baseman to never win the world series. :D

Follow up hint. I was in Albuquerque.

First person to write his name or African animal nickname wins 10 cents on the napkin.

Takers?

Ryne Sandberg? (Rhino)

Hopefully the next Cubs manager.

Greg

That's exactly what I told him too.
