Gorgeous T3 Cobb. Has to be one of the best prewar cards ever.

and then there were 4
 

This one looks great in person--beautiful borders with vibrant color.

I've always admired this postcard from afar. Now I get to sleep with it everyday. Ho Hum, on to the next conquest (I'm sure Joe DiMaggio had the same problem....).

Lovely Day...

T202 Meyers/Marquard (Too Late of Devlin)
 

Received this cool T202 today from Cy. Thanks again Cy!

I sold off the only 4 T202s I ever owned back in 2005.

One of them had the same interesting stamping as this card on the back side.

I really love these 33 goudey card

Thank you! Have about 15 signed HOF Goudey's now.

The latest card in my Tris Speaker collection
http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u...3/Image226.jpg

Gotta love it when a seller requires immediate payment on a Buy It Now and then waits a full week to mail the card (and only mails it out then in response to an email asking if he's mailed it out yet). One of the two toughies of 1911 Obak set out of the way. Ten Million, where art thou?

One more for the set.

Jantz

Some great cards this month. Loving the Tolstoi lot, how close are you on the subset?

Jantz, very nice eye appeal...you'd love a new scanner :D

Thanks!! I am at 112 which is a bit less than half the confirmed number. I guess the beauty in all of this is finding out which subjects are tougher to find with this particular back...I am enjoying the ride so far!

Nice looking T210s Jason. I'll be glad when all you team collectors finish your T210s so those of us nutty enough to go after the whole set won't have so much competition :o

I have actually already started on the whole set as well.100+ down!

Thanks Chris. Even Looks better than the Sgc 70 Chase.

I was able to add a couple of cards to my type set last week:

From Heritage Auctions ...

I dont post often what I get, but after 3yrs+ of searching for this AB backed Mattern I finally got it. An SGC 70/5.5 to boot. I am just thrilled and I think it went very cheap for an AB back.

Thanks to Toby for a great trade. My first uncut strip and it has two of my three favorite players of all time on it!

The Hounds have obtained John Frill from AndyG09 for a player to be named later:

Thanks Rob. I love the Cobb too, even if it's missing a corner.

Tony- Here is an Evers with the same grade as yours that looks about the same.
Also picked up an Evers Ramly upgrade.

Great cards Mike. Your Evers collection continues to grow with quality. One last one just in today.

I now currently own the only 3 known AD cards from the R337 issue. This Ruth, a Grove, and a Johnson.

Sheesh, just what I need, another tough set to collect. This is my 5th card in the set, long way to go...

Signed T201 Leifield from the Jefferson Burdick Collection:

Awesome card to add to your collection, Paul
 

Nice signature and the Burdick stamps. Sweet combination. Congratulations.

Nice pick up !

i always think all the burdick's cards where in a museum and not avalaible for sale.

He probably did a lot of trading before he made his donation

Some exhibits off ebay....

I sure do like these Turkey Reds

Thanks Iggy

Jason! You'll be 'finished' in no time. Didn't realize you knocked off 3/4 Cobbs already. Congrats.

Thanks Jon!

T210 Series 8 cards
 

A nice trade with Brian W. Glad we could help each other out :D

With the help of saved emails from back in the day on my aol account, I can confirm that today I checked off a card that has been on top of my wantlist since at least July of 2002.

congrats
 

Congrats John, that's a long time on a want list. You Must have felt a sigh of relief.

Thanks Leon. It is cool to finally knock that card off the list and it served as a reminder to not put rare Old Judge cards on my wantlist, just get whichever ones you can when they come up. You don't know how many times I've seen Alcott come up for sale over that time, just to find out it wasn't the Mansfield version. It's also in much nicer shape than what I thought I was going to end up with, figuring I'd just overspend for the next one I saw no matter what the condition.

Nice cards Tbob.I really like the swinging poses.

Here are a few Saturday morning pickups of mine

Congrats John!

Alcott with Mansfield reminds me of another tough team change card I've been waiting for, Gilligan with Detroit. Enjoy your latest addition, unite him with Nyce - Burlington.

Good luck finding yours Joe! I've had the Burlington card for years, as well as New Haven and Rochester, all one player teams in the set. Maybe I'll get a scan of all four together later...decided to do it now instead. Also have Holbert too as a one player team but he wasn't on my wantlist until we started writing the book and I actually bought it the day we found out Mets were a one player team

Nice little card:

It was five years ago this month
 

that I got a second card with Howe McCormick's stamp on the back. Within weeks, I had decided to sell all my other t206s and concentrate on only trying to rebuild his collection that he had marked. Today, number 205 in the rebuilt collection arrived in my mailbox.

<a href="http://s150.photobucket.com/albums/s81/T206ster/?action=view&amp;current=205Lake.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s81/T206ster/205Lake.jpg" border="0" alt="205 Lake"></a>

I never imagined that I would find so many, or own that many of them. Thanks to so many on the board who keep their sights set on them, and let me know when they are available.

interesting back on this Bender....some color bleed through.

Arrived today via a trade with a fellow board member. The ironic thing is today would have been Earl’s 110th Birthday.

#274 & #275
 

Thanks to AG for the trade... able to complete the "player to be named later" trade and pick up a few more for myself.

Nice pickups. Player to be named later. Interesting.

Hopefully this is not a Rumplestiltskin situation.

Nah...
 

Andy and I have bought/sold/traded several times and he had a dupe that I needed so he sent it to me in advance of me having anything to return to him. I was able to "close the books" on the deal and live happily ever after...

Glad it's what you wanted! Sorry shipping was a few extra days, hopefully it was worth the wait.

Battered and not really a card, I picked up this Facts for Fans as ephemera for my m101s. The inset on the bottom is from page 1 of the nearly 100 page booklet.
For the m101 collectors here, note that the caption design is wrong and that the photo shown of Scott is not the high leg-kick picture actually used in the set. Interestingly, the card number is wrong too--it corresponds to Scott's m101-5 card, but Indy Brewing is a m101-4 set only. http://photos.imageevent.com/imoverh...ctsforfans.jpg

Tolstoi #115

http://img214.imageshack.us/img214/7...oibrashear.jpg

Hey Rob

Good to see your still on the hunt.

115
 

115 Tolstoi's that's amazing! You should be featured on the show Hoarders!

Yea, in this one for the long haul!


And I won't be satisfied until I get at least 115 more!

Two more Series 2.Finally getting close to wrapping that one up.

Not Pre-War, but I have been looking for a nice low grade example of Mr. Ford's Rookie card for a long while.

Obtained in trade at Dallas Card Show this past weekend.
