Very nice M101-6 WaJo

Picked this one up

July Discovery
 

I have been going through a lot of my Grandma's T206s with out ever paying much attention to the backs. Thanks to this site I have discovered that we have 26 T206 Hindu backs with 2 red and 24 brown.

This one though is the best. Never thought it was worth much, because it is probably a SGC 30. I was wrong. This site has been I wealth of knowledge. Thanks.

Nice Johnson Hindu. Looks high grade from here.

Brendan - Looks better in photo you can't really see the light crease at his forehead. If you look at his hair real hard you can see a faint white line in it.

I know someone will ask, so here is what I discovered I had: (Is there any thing other than the Walter Johnson that stands out?)


The two red are:
Duffy, Chicago - Amer.
Donlin, N.Y. Nat'l 3-4.
The Brown Hindu backs:
Walter Johnson
Carey, Memphis
Manion, Columbia
Cranston, Memphis
Revelle, Richmond
Perdue, Nashville
McIntyre, Brooklyn
Alperman, Brooklyn
Shaughnasy, Roanoke
Persons, Montgomery
Shaw, St. Louis Nat'l
Thornton, Mobile
Mullaney, Jacksonville
Griffith, Cincinnati
Wiltse, N.Y. Nat'l
Tinker, Chicago- very bad condition
Donovan, Detroit
Tenney, N.Y. Nat'l
Ames, N.Y. Nat'l
Stone, St. Louis Amer.
Reulbach, Chicago Nat'l
Ferris, St. Louis Amer.
Bresnahan, St. Louis Amer.
Bransfield, Phila Nat'l

Thanks,
Dan

Very nice Daniel. Nine Southern Leaguers and three other HOFers in the brown.
As well as a Duffy red Hindu. Very nice, congratulations.

If you ever want to part with the Duffy let me know.:)

Hi Dan,
Thanks for the list....Very nice.

Be well Brian

Did a nice deal with a fellow on his driveway last night for this card. Very drug dealer-like.

Nice Lenox!

Grandma's Treasures...
 

Dan - Nice haul of Hindu's ! Would love to see some scans - Congrats !

JJ

Lenox Chase
 

great card! guess I live in the wrong spot of NY. Driveway deals never end up with a black lenox as an outcome =)

My latest...
 

This is my most recent purchase! I'm trying to save for the National, but that is easier said than done...

This was a tough card for me to find! A big thank you goes out to Ron Rice for making this one available.

pickup
 

got this last week...thanks to probstein for blazing his name across the scan...now i'll be forced to rescan once I receive in the mail :p


(I helped you out and got rid of the name....leon)

A little old school MSPaint... Presto!

Lol, that's awesome Leon.

Large Tobin litho. 2 down, 2 to go.

2 more for the HOF collection:

Got this Ruth from Chris Buckler after a trade. He loves trading as much as I do.

Thank you both! I actually thought to use Paint after I had posted the scan. You both saved me some time...great stuff and thx!

EJW

Nice Rob!
 

Rob, I love to continue to see the beautiful Goudeys that you continue to pick up! That is going to be one SWEET set when it is all said and done! :D
Best Wishes!
Tim Kindler

Chris Buckler is an awesome guy. I just recently bought some stuff from him after seeing his ad on net54.

Another (trade) pickup from Mr. Buckler. It goes great with my 51 Bowman Mantle.

I am happy to add another HOFer tobacco card to sit next to my Lajoie T206. The SGC holder is in crappy condition, so it will be sent to SGC for reholdering.

1928 Zeenut Averill
 

Not the best of shape but finally got one that fit my budget thanks to Steve Murray

Last pickup before the National:

Mike:

Nice pick-up on the Averill, still a very tough card in any condition.

It had been a fairly consistent year
 

six cards in six months (missed three on eBay). Then in a 24 hour period, seven cards with Howe's stamp showed up on eBay...

Thanks to Leon, for moving my plea for bidding partners to the main board. Thanks to Erick, Iggy, John, Bobby and Eric for offering to be bidding partners.

When I contacted the seller Dan, and told him of my collection, he checked his inventory and found one more that had not been listed, and sold it outright.

Last two before the "National"
 

These 2 with Old Mill backs fit my set perfectly. See Y'all in Chicago.

WOW Ed, killer haul!!!

Hope all is well and always on the lookout at the local,
Bob

Niiice, Ed! :cool:

I got this beauty in today.

A Constable Stamp...on a Chase card...seems about right...
 

Just picked this up from eBay (Probstein) and while I normally steer clear of cards with qualifiers, had to have this one because:
a) it's a Chase in White Cap which I don't have;
b) it's in nice shape for a PSA 4;
c) it has the coolest stamp on the back...has anyone else seen any of these "constable" stamped cards???

http://www.collectorfocus.com/images...e-cap-piedmonthttp://www.collectorfocus.com/images...-cap-piedmontb

I guess I'll have to be on the look out for anymore with this back stamp...now I know how Ed feels!!! :)

I have seen that stamp but might have been on that card (I am obsessively checking backs)

Close Attachment 42703

Hi Chris,

I've owned a few T206's with this same stamp.

Any chance the front of that card is Shaughnessy?

My newest acquisitions...
 

I have had some really nice pick-ups recently...

Another new one for the HOF collection off the bay

Damn
 

Damn, there are some heavy hitters on this board, an upgrade on a Drum? Wow. A drum, a drum, leon doth come (McBeth). A couple of pickups from the BST, thanks Mark...

No, not resurrecting the Tobacco pack thread, but.....
 

I just picked up this fairly nice Piedmont slide box, 1910 tax stamp, no overstamp, with a handful of cigarettes remaining. Sadly, there is no card included (so I'm telling myself that it would have been a bird or flag):

My 9th Red Sox M116
 

Big thanks to Bob M. for the smooth transaction!

A few great pickups from a great board member.This set hits close to home its amazing.

Slow month. Waiting for Chicago in a couple of weeks. From the BST. Thanks Brian.

i don't really collect t204's
 

But I couldn't pass these up ! :)

Attachment 42930

C'mon, Pete, those were the two that I was looking for when they were on the BST. I was too cheap though and tried to get them at a discount from the seller, meanwhile I guess you jumped in and scooped them up. All kidding aside, nice pick-ups!

Haha, Thanks Phil! I knew he was getting a bunch of emails, so I didn't want to negotiate and risk losing out.

Certainly would have been a bird or Flag.. :(
did you buy it already opened with the contents already known or did you buy it sealed not knowing what might be inside?? :eek:

Today brought this beauty.

1912 T207 Bob Bescher

Thanks, Doug.

Piedmont Box
 

I bought it, already opened, knowing that any card had been removed (and several of the cig's had been smoked). However, the price was right (to say the least). Do you somehow know for a fact, Marty, that it would have been a bird or flag, or are you just supporting my rationalization for not being disappointed?:)

Michael

Managed to grab a nicely centered Hubbel Diamond Star from the latest Sterling Sports Auction as well as a T206 Chase w/ Trophy from Shaunsteig...

Some nice Montiels
 

I was very pleased to pick up these three HOFers to add to my Cuban collection. The Dihigo was at the top of my wish list. The Dimaggio and Williams were a bonus.

Best regards,

Joe

Joe:

Great condition on the Dihigo card, that is probably the nicest one of those that I have seen.

Dihigo condition
 

Thanks Phil. I was real happy with the card's condition. It looks a lot better in hand than in the picture. I'm looking forward to having it graded.

Best regards,

Joe

Sounds good, an SGC 40/3 would be quite a nice grade for that set.

Nice Dihigo Joe!! I was 4th in line on bidding on that beauty, I didn't go any higher cause I believed there to be a small amount of paper loss on the upper left hand corner that would have affected the grade. Now with the card in hand, is that paper loss or a printing defect in the yellow border??
Just curious, anyways, great pick up on a tough card!!

Steve

I was the immediate underbidder on that Dihigo. Very nice card. I did pick up both of the Montiel Ruth's from that seller.

Upper left corner
 

Hello Steve,

I think I'm good on the corner. Looked at it through a magnifying glass and I don't see any paper loss damage or even any changes in the texture of the paper. But I don't have a lot of experience, there may have a flaw that shows up under high magnification that I cannot see.

No matter what grade I get I will be happy with the card. It displays better than any Montiel that I have in my collection. I've only seen a couple of them for sale on eBay in the last year. They were offered on high buy-it-now prices that were out of my reach.

Best regards,

Joe

Ruths
 

Hi Gary,

Great pick up on the Ruths. I bid on the one with the yellow border, but obviously my bid wasn't high enough.

Best regards,

Joe

Sounds good Joe, congrats again!!

Technically I've had these for sometime now but just got back from SGC today.
