Successful Farming M101-5
 

It's a beater, but gotta love the back.

Really like this one...
 

Thanks, Jeremy.

Thank You, Mike and Thank You, Bill Heitman:

1929 R316 Kashin Dazzy Vance PSA 4
 

Picked this one up from Rhett Yeakley. This example has "Made In U.S.A" printed in the bottom right corner. Thanks Rhett!

Finally picked up another E90-1 for my HOFer set :D :

I'm now down to only the Joss (pitching), Keeler (portrait-red), Speaker and Wagner (throwing) still needed.

The back of the Successful Farming ad would have made a great Abbott and Costello bit .............. :)

My newest...
 

Two of my newest...

Righteous pickups, Travis. How many Billikens does that make?

Thanks...
 

David,

Thanks...Not enough...I believe its around 10 so far...

Grabbed myself a real nice Admiral Schley today. I guess this would be a prerookie card, he had to be the oldest guy in the T206 set, by a long ways. Who woulda thunk it!

I just got a couple of cool cards from the Washington State Sports Collectors Association show, held this weekend in Shoreline, just north of Seattle. Once again, it was well-run, and friendly. And this time, I hit the jackpot. I left with six Obaks, a Pelty Ramly, and a Dwight Gypsy Queen. I gotta start saving for the next one!

These should be arriving this week:

Paul you've been busy. Nice cards.

New beater on the way
 

I had to jump the pond to bring this one back

Thanks, Mike. These are my Christmas presents for the man cave in the house I just bought

New
 

Just got these back from SGC today. Super happy with the assigned grades, look great in their shiny new homes! Thanks Ryan for the great deal!

T210-6's...
 

T210-6's - Many Thanks - Frank !

Thanks to Mike in the B/S/T.
One card I've always wanted. Shoeless Joe, Ray Chapman, Lajoie and Larry the Dog.:)

BIG mail day!
 

Lots of goodies showed up in my mailbox today:

They certainly didn't come cheap, but I was really happy to put a major dent into the 1925 Zeenut set with these guys...

got smoked on most of them but picked up two toughies:

Thanks for a pleasant transaction Jeremy!

1915 Cracker Jack Mordecai Brown
 

Trimmed and creased, which also makes it affordable.

Very nice Zeenut's Rhett!

W600 HOFers
 

These are downright ugly when compared to Rob's incredible W600 Lajoie, but I'm pleased to add these few W600 HOFers.

Great stuff, BT.

Really nice Brian

T207 set complete
 

I'm pleased to announce the completion of a 200-card T207 set, plus a few variations. It took 3 years, and was helped by many net54 friends (especially Mike F., Rob, Marc, Mac, Brian, Scott, David). The set is listed on: http://www.psacard.com/PSASetRegistr...t.aspx?s=71996. The last card was Irv Lewis, from Ebay this week. Ron R

Here's a couple of my favorites:

Ron,
Congrats on a race well run! Super!
Jeff

Wow Ron, great accomplishment...congrats!!

Very nice Ron, congratulations.

Congrats Ron !! A great feeling I bet !!:)

Sincerely, Clayton

Congrats, Ron!

Great looking Speaker!

is it still cool to say t207s are underrated?

T207 set
 

Thanks, guys. It was fun to put it together, and I have to give kudos to Leon & Net54. A large and tough set, like T207, is nearly impossible to put together without networking with other collectors. Net54 is a great way to do that.

BTW, why is Arlie Latham in the T207 set? He was 53 years old, and a former coach by then and hadn't played in a game since 1909. Just another weird thing about T207.

My second card from the monster. It won't even ship until tomorrow, but I was too excited to wait.

Congratulations Ron. Now the next step for the T207aholic is to collect all the tough cards by Anonymous, Cycle and Broadleaf backs. That should keep you busy for the next 25 years :)

Busy evening of scanning:

1910 Joseph Custer Obak
 

Thanks to Marcus for this nice Joseph Custer, Seattle N.W.L. Obak.

I'm slowly making progress on my catcher pose cards in the 1909-1911 Obak sets as well as the 1912 Zeenut and Home RUn Kisses sets.

Thanks,

Patrick

Like WOW! Good thing you kept your emotions at bay and didn't try to scratch-off the Wagner from your want list. Looks like you are off to a spectacular start.

Lovely Day..

I think the only wagner I'll be buying is a dead on, no refunds, just found it in grandpa's shoebox, near mint ebay special.

I thought this would be a nice companion for my E91 sets

Good job on the Goudeys Rob.

Keep watching you accumulate them. And of course the E91's.

Frank

:)

Congrats, Ron!
 

Congrats, again, Ron - tough achievement, and great set!

Shhh Bob - I hear there are padded cells for anyone exploring that road. Oh, and you also left out Napoleon :eek::eek:

Thank You, Aaron and Thank You, J&J:

Finally got my t206 white sox set complete. My most expensive card was Walsh for $40 and I think I paid less then $500 for all of them (or close to that).Got nine backs including cycle, hindu, old mill, tolstoi, etc (american beauty is the only one I need that I can afford) and got a nice helmar postcard to mat with them once I get them all graded :)Attachment 27873

Attachment 27874

Thank You, Shawn:

Sean, congrats on your accomplishment!

I'm at 20 right now on my own White Sox team set (18 graded, with the Donohue and Owen still waiting to get submitted).

They all should look nice together when you get them framed!

Very cool would like to do a Giants set. :cool:

Jimm: I am slowly chipping away at a T206 Giants set. Check it out.
http://imageevent.com/kawika_o_ka_pa...6newyorkgiants
If anyone can fill any of the remaining pukas with cards having eye appeal consistent with the ones I have already, SGC graded mo' bettah, please PM me.

thanks,
Im excited to mat them with the helmar postcard! :)

Congrats Sean, very nice job !!!:)

Sincerely, Clayton

Thanks been looking for a good checklist, those Mattys are awesome!

One of my recent favorites...
 

Able to obtain a type of this scarce Venezuelan issue thanks to Leon...

Loved the centering and color on this one. Back is equally gorgeous.

todays mail
 

And here I thought I was trying to build a T205 set

Lucky No. 13
 

A big thank-you to Jon for the heads-up that this was a BIN on eBay. This front-back combo has been an elusive one for me, and it marks the 13th different back with the Lajoie/bat front that I've been able to land. (Side note: I wish all PSA 2's looked like this.)

:o Anytime Rob. BTW - That is a VERY nice looking '2'.

Nice CJ Packs!

Nice Lajoie, Rob!

2 for my small but growing collection:

I just think the Donovan cards looks amazing even if not one of the more popular players of the era



http://i241.photobucket.com/albums/f...20NFT/Foxx.jpg

Two more for my hall of fame player collection:

packs--That Cracker Jack is beautiful.

this gotta be a reprint the borders are too white and corners too sharp...just too "new" looking.
