My first CJ

I am a low budget collector if you couldn't tell. ;)

Wow! I just love looking at that group of raw T206s. Most of my cards are slabbed but I wish I had the guts to crack em all open and touch them :o

This completes my E98 Evers!
 

Thanks Josh (JK) for this beautiful Evers. Love the rich orange color on this one.

Oh, Scott R., nothing wrong with being a low budgett collector. We all collect what we love mixed with what we can afford. I think that Cracker Jack is a sweet card with really vibrant colors. Congratulations on it!

I understand completely, Tim. It's just after seeing an Ed Delehanty, Ty Cobbs, Christy Mathewsons, etc....I just had to throw that out there. I do enjoy collecting my [pre war] vintage Boston Red Sox, even though my pickups may not be as extravagant as others. :)

Appreciate the comment though. The Cracker Jack is a beaut in person, the red background really pops! Great E98 Evers as well, that set is very neat with the black and white photos on the colored backgrounds.

great stuff so far
 

Great stuff so far guys. It's not about the budget it's about enjoying what you are doing.

Scott R- On that Cracker Jack...that is a neat pose. Many of us collect catcher poses as their gear is really neat looking. I have types of several series' cards in my collection where the pose is of a catcher. This one didn't have any catchers. Thanks to a fellow board member for it.

Nice pick up Leon. Is that paper thin or more like a card?

Hey Scott R- I like that Crackerjack Cady. Nice pickup!

Very Nice E221
 

Leon,

Congrats on picking up another E221. Very cool looking card! Number 3?

Patrick

Scott:

Congrats on the CJ!

docpatlv:

Nice T206 stack. Let me know when you are ready to send them my way. :)

Leon:

Amazing E221!


Picked these up at the Mansfield, MA show on Sunday:

Nice Leon, I'm sure it was tough for him to part with that.

Hi

1909 Carl Lewis Obak
 

This 1900 Carl Lewis T212-1 Obak arrived safe and sound yesterday morning after a rough trip from Texas. One edge of the card was trapped under the SGC black insert. Luckily, I always crack out the cards, and put them in a nice screwdown holder.

Thanks again Leon and Scott (B & L Auctions)

Patrick

My first T206!
 

Thanks to Cy at Cy's Cards!

I think so
 

Thanks for the kudos on the E221. I am sure the seller did have some postpartum sadness, Jeff, but the check he will be getting should help with that somewhat. Yes, it's my 3rd and I am very happy to add it to my collection. They don't come around every day.

Hi Jason,

I have not been to the Mansfield MA show in a few years now. When I used to go, all the dealers were selling newer cards. Is there more T-Card offering at this show now? If so, I need to check it out.

Thanks & nice pickup

Nice card Pete. Congratulations.

I was pleasantly surprised with the variety at the show, as modern cards do tend to dominate. For the first time in a while, the material available was
close to 50/50. The dealer I purchased from had a large selection of raw and graded issues, including T206, T205, E90-1, E101, and R319. They had some 19th century items too, but I didn't make it to that end of their table.

Green with envy
 

Sweet card.... I'm so jealous!

NICE!

more for me!

wow Jason! You got a double t206 of two players banned from the game in 1919!!!
Just picked this up, loving thew fergusons
Attachment 34382

Didn't realize that. It took me a few minutes to figure out whose name it was and just posted it up before thinking about any distinguishing characteristics linking the two players.

Thanks for the info (and cool penant!)

The Merkle is one of the tougher ones in that set. Nice pickup!

Chris

A few new ones. Bad scan!

YEAH THATS QUITE A WONDER THAT T206!

The Merkle Ferguson is one of the rarer ones?!?!?! awesome, i just started collecting them so that was a lucky purchase! :)

Just won from eBay...
 

Been looking for this one for a while! I paid a little more than I wanted to, but its been awhile since I've seen one and who knows when it will be again...

Finally got this beauty scanned :)

Nice one, Leon. That card is amazing. A "take your breath away" card.

A newer card but...
 

I love it and you almost never see this card so well centered.

Bill, I'm not a big Pete Rose fan but I've always loved that card (especially centered perfectly)! Nice pick up.

Finally bought one!

I'm really happy to have this card back. I've been working towards it for two years. I finally offered a trade that King couldn't refuse, haha. :) Thank you, King!!!

That card is gorgeous Trae. That's the finest Kawika I've ever seen.

Thanks, Doc - same here!
Haha @ the Kawika reference - gotta love his avatar, huh?

Pack fresh front, but I guess it sat in the pack for a while because the Old Mill reverse has some faint paper loss lines from the packaging... so it's only a 40/3. Fine by me!

Awesome Goudey Dimaggio Dan. It's on my want list!

Meyers
 

Very nice Trae !! You've been picking up some nice ones lately :) Also liked Jaybird's pick ups also- love T206's :D

This one just arrived from RayBShotz on the B/S/T- he was great to deal with, a smooth transaction. My scanner sucks, and never does the cards justice.....but this one is very nice for the grade.

Thanks again to Jason Carota for noticing the resemblance in the first place and to John Wonka for the ultra-cool rendering of McTitus. Gotta love it!

nice pickups !!!

I have been looking for a nice looking example and was happy to grab this one.
May have overpaid a tad, but I'm happy with it.

http://photos.imageevent.com/mhgt/co...uge/Dahlen.jpg

Thats an outstanding Dahlen! I dont think u overpaid, nice ones don't come around often.

Paid for but not received yet and can't wait.----Merrill

Thanks Eric, and you're right nice looking ones don't come up all that often.

Tango Egg Ty Cobb! Super Rare Card!
 

I recently had a very nice find of t213-II Coupon Tobacco cards.
The seller, who was from Metaire, LA., also had some Cracker Jacks a General Baking and This Ty Cobb with a Tango Egg back.

The card had previously been rumored to exist, but apparently had never been seen, at least not by the masses.

I have already sold the card, and I believe it is now in a SGC 10 Holder.
Condition wise, truly a card only a mother could love, but what a rarity!!

Here it is: Ty Cobb Tango Egg Back!

Great, great card David!


I wonder what the "P" stands for on your jersey.
:D

"Penultimate"

Very nice card Leon, enjoy it!

Picked this up via trade with fellow board member Keith (Irwin Fletcher). First class transaction!

Thank you Chris at Cassidy's Sportscards for the great deal!

Best Pick Up of the Year So Far
 

Thanks to B& L for the latest addition in my E98 set, but no offense Leon and Scott, but my best pick up of the year so far was the card my 6 year old son Tyrus created for me. It is a vintage 2011 Postcard size, unused! And I bet it would grade at least a 20!:D

Nice 67 Topps Brooks Robby Bill! Those are tough!

Ol' Pete !
 

I'm very excited to add this E253 Oxford to my collection!!
Whoo Hoo!
I'm getting what I consider a nice low-grade HOF run going here :

Whaddya think?

1912 Rohrer Zeenut
 

Picked up a 1912 John H. "Dad" Rohrer Zeenut on eBay earlier tonight.

With this pick-up, I only need to upgrade a 1912 Walter Boles Zeenut, and then a 1912 Claude Berry Zeenut to complete my run of catcher pose cards in the 1912 Zeenut set.

better late than never
 

Great cards, guys--motivation to keep the flame burning! Especially liked Jeff's 1926-1929 Exhibits Cobb and 1916 Mordecai (Three-Finger) Brown, and David B's 1923-1924 Exhibits Genewich (tough cards, those '23-'24's. Maybe someday I'll bump into the Ruth, at a time when I can afford it).

I was wondering, Jeff, if your collecting focus is the same as mine: stars and hall-of-famers, in the best condition you can find or afford? I would assume the yellow-toned Cobb is pretty tough to find.

With best regards,

Larry

Brian

Went through your SGC Card Registry. That is a great assembly of cards. Much luck with your continued pursuit.
I'll keep watching.


Frank

Awesome 2011 postcard!!!!:D

Not having a good day, Jim?

Brown OM-tough one to knock off the list and such a nice condition example.

not too many of those floating around

Thanks Jim, one of the nicest I have ever seen besides one that some guy I know has but he wouldn't sell me his. :)

would that be this one..:D

Frank...
I was trying to be ethical at all times, but the latest group you just posted made me want to commit larceny.
Ok, maybe not that extreme measure , but any of those would be outstanding collector-grade cards for my man-cave.
If you need to send them to me, I will need to send money to you...that keeps me ethical,you see.:D

NICE cards!

Brian

familytoad is a great name. :D:D:D:D:D:D:D

Frank

These two are on the way...
 

I've been looking for the Baker for a long time...
