My first...
 

...Old Judge card! I purchased it this past weekend at a card show in Arlington, TX. My wife was kind enough to let me splurge. The folks at the show I purchased from were very nice and had a great selection of pre-war baseball as well as tons of post-war.

T206 Duffy
 

Another one crossed off the list.

Mike,
That is a great card. I'm not sure if you were aware, but your Evers is missing a layer of color (Red I think). I have seen a handful of E93s like this. I have one Evers and also a Plank and a Tinker missing a layer of ink. Very cool. Here are my two Evers (yellow and orange) for comparison. 99% of E93 Evers I have seen are orange. Yours is only the second "yellow" Evers example I have seen. You can tell by looking at the face and glove that it is not just faded, but missing a layer of ink.

Jim, thanks for the info. I was not aware of this, but it's easy to see in your comparison. By the way those two Evers of yours are outstanding, it's always a pleasure to see cards from your collection.

Thanks again,
Mike

Pete, Nice Cycle Back

Thank You, Ana and Thank You, Eric:

Hi Scott. Sold off the E90-1 set long ago, but I'm still plugging away at the monster as mentioned. I'm about half way home and still having a ball with it.

Those Pinkertons are amazing, Jeff. Congrats!

She's a beauty!
 

My Dad gave me this card for Christmas which was celebrated late this year. He purchased it 25 years ago at a local show in 1985 we figure. I was insistant for him to buy the card, I found, for 50 cents when i was 8 yrs old. He thought it could be something that gets passed down because of the memory involved with the card and it involved both of us. I think its the second most valuable card I own.

#190
 

Thanks Andy for a great trade. Just ten shy of 200.

I haven't been this excited about a card in a while.

Two more in the mail
 

Should've checked the mail first... two BIN/BOs from eBay makes it 192

Speaking of favorite non-portrait T206's, that Bliss is a good example of a great pose.

Here is my 1 and only January pick up.... took me over a year to get this one..... but it was a must have for my seymour throwing back run

Got these in (fairly) recently from Sterling (Oakes) and eBay (Wheat). Oakes has a registration mark at top-neato!

Jamie, AWESOME Pick up!!!

That's the best thing posted in the last 6 weeks. If I worked at PSA/SCG/etc, I would rate that card a 10

Doug

Thanks Doug.

Sweet Ghost Image
 

I agree. That ghost image is so stunning and it is so clear that it looks like a T206 Chance and a M116 Chance back to back!
Great Card!
Take Care, Tim Kindler

Jeff
2 nice Pinkertons. Look nice encapsulated.

jthorst75
Nice bunch of Red Cobb's.

Chris
Agreed. Beautiful ghost image of Chance

Thank You, Dave:

Tony A. - Nice pickup!

I was watching that one & almost threw out a bid.

Nice wet sheet transfer near Bill's head.

Glad to see you got it.

1912 Boles Zeenut
 

Thanks again to a boardmember I was able to upgrade my 1912 Boles Zeenut. Looking for just the Claude Berry 1912 Zeenut to complete my run of catcher popses in the set.

Technically not new pickups, but just got these back today from SGC.

I have 103 T206 Tolstoi backed cards. I hope to go over 50% of the confirmed list this year.

Also finally have all the basic Rube Waddell T206 front back combos. 15 in total (8 portrait, 7 throwing). I hope to get a nice picture of them all soon.

A nice three day run...
 

Three days, three packages... love it. These three are fresh from SGC and make it 195.

nice clean cards for the grade erick

I agree! Or you might say.... technical grade -- 1, sentimental grade -- GEM MT 10. :) Good stuff.


Also lovin that ghost image, Chris! Nice!


and...

^^^ Very close to being orange-ish. Nice assembly of red Cobbs! Your collection obviously has focus. :)

"^^^ Very close to being orange-ish. Nice assembly of red Cobbs! Your collection obviously has focus. :)"

Thanks! I noticed that too once the other Cobbs started to show up. The print is bolder than the red Cobbs so I would have to to go on a limb and say that it is possibly orange. I wanted to get the other T206 Cobbs in the set but I love the reds, which might not have been the wisest choice considering how many the are. Still looking though......

Number 501
 

Just had to have it!

COLGAN'S ( 208 in present series SGC 80 EX/NM 6 )
 

I was lucky enough to pick this beauty up. I needed this for a type so it worked out perfect.

memorabilia side scared me back to cards.

thx to a board member:

Jan Pick up
 

January Pick up :

Caught this little beaut with a BIN on Ebay. What's the official name of it anyhow? The armpit B Marquard.

Doug.. you beat me to that card by seconds.. Nice Pickup!

I was able to score this one for only $35.. if you do enough hunting you can still find decent deals...

Your welcome..:D

Nice E90-1 Hall Jason!

Been searching for this card for some time now!

http://i306.photobucket.com/albums/n...Cards/73js.jpghttp://i306.photobucket.com/albums/n...ards/73jsb.jpg

Thanks! The Hall is one of those "I wish I never sold it, I need to get it back" type of cards. :)


Brad:

Nice Dominion Chocolate. I've never seen one before.

Thank You, Sarah, Leon (picture o/t) and Leighton:

Gorgeous Crawford!

Couple Postcards
 

Two Negro Leaguers pictured on postcards from Mexico:

Ray Dandridge pictured while playing for Vera Cruz Azules

And Jesse Williams (shortstop for KC Monarchs) pictured while playing for Tuneros in San Luis Potosi

http://i1023.photobucket.com/albums/...scan0004-1.jpg

Jason:

Great Dandridge postcard, never seen that one before.

Thanks, Phil. Obviously, some pinhole damage but I'd never seen it either. You'd think the owner could have put the pinhole a little to the left or right? Oh, well... still happy to have it and glad it survived at all.

Sweet PC's Jason, congrats!!

Some great pick-ups!
 

Here are some recent pick-ups. The T206 Fred Clarke Sweet Cap 150 and the 1907 Grignon Frank Chance PC are from the BST. The 1913 Pastime Novelty Co. Christy Mathewson PC was my end of a big trade. The Matty is easily by best PC!

Another good month with a few more coming... Down to about 20!

#197 in the quest
 

Thanks to Scott for this BIN purchase... only need three more to get to 200

That must have been one heck of a trade. That PC is one of my favourites!

Regards,

Richard.
