Confirmed EPDG & Cycle460. There was a Cycle up for auction recently, haven't seen the EPDG...any help would be appreciated :)

Andrew - Nice Snodgrass!

Chris - Fine display of Duffys you got there!


Jantz

Just back from SGC............

I'm not sure there is a better looking set than Cracker Jack.

Just picked this up for $13, thought it was pretty cool as I had never seen it. Not a card obviously but will look great with the rest of my Chase collection. Says its from a 1912 issue of Colliers

Mike Healer...I'm glad the Plank (from Steve, I think?) went to a fine collector...it was more than I could afford this month, but Steve came through for me with this one of HR Baker...Yep these cards are sweet!;)

E121 - 80 New York Players
 

A few more come off the want list.....

Brian, that's a really nice Baker, congrats. The Plank didn't come from Steve, although he does have some nice ones.

great stuff guys!

just picked up this Red Hindu, which completed my back run (minus brown old mill & brown lenox). thanks to Chris for help with the montage.

Chris,
Awesome Duffy run! That is one of my favorite fronts in the set.

Interesting looking Hal Chase. Never seen it before.

yeah I havent seen Chase on many ads before. Plus that particular photo is new to me too :)

Congrats Michael, that's quite the accomplishment. The Lenox and UZIT are superb.

Impressive back run!!!

Thanks guys!

Chris- thanks, those are probably my 2 favs. even much bolder in person.

Plugging some holes in my collection:

Some random recent pickups... I love the outdoor pose on the OJ.

My first M116.

Wasn't really looking to get this but couldn't pass up image and centering.

Two new EPDG

And another miscut
 

Happy Smith

And three more for the main set
 

Thanks to AG for the trade:

Erick, thanks to you as well! Until the next deal.....

Best,

Andy

:D I would have to agree, guys. Cool cards!

One of the cool things about the '14s is that you can hold them up to the light and see right through them, they're so thin.

This one arrived yesterday. Wahoo!

Love the tintype HBroll.

Nice Cobb, Jeff.

Picked these up at Chantilly a few months ago but only got to take a few camera phone pictures today. If you guys see any articles where you want a better picture/scan let me know and I'll try to post it.

First picture set link is a 1941 Scrapbook chronicling Spring Training articles published in the Greensboro, NC newspaper. Lots of interesting stuff such as a picture of Ty Cobb.

Second picture set link only shows a few choice pictures of the entire Composition notebook. This one covers 1947 Spring Training. Lots of articles about Jackie Robinson breaking in, guys coming back from war, Evers obituary, among other items.

ah, so that's where your dog got his name Jeff.

Yes :)

Arrived in the mail today. Nice crop line on the back. Its hard to see in the scan, but this T206 also has a light blue "+" in the right upper corner on the front.


Jantz

Always felt this was the best of the t200 images--fairly close up (unlike some), sharp photo (ditto), dark uniforms setting it off nicely.

http://www.net54baseball.com/attachm...1&d=1355335612

I have always wanted a thorpe card, and he's featured on the NY Fatima which is a bonus.

N300 Anson

Cool pose I picked up from Joes last week.

Nice Anson card, Dave.

Thanks, I was coveting the one from the Dreier collection that sold for 8K (It was a PSA 5 or something like that I think?) Anway, this card has been on my want list for a long time and I finally found one that didn't completely break the bank.

Apparently my scanner sucks, but I just got a Kisinger with a crop mark in the top right that Jantz and Tim confirmed was an unknown crop mark player. It was much easier to see on the ebay scan and also in person. I wouldn't have bought it based on my scans, that's for sure! Also has a slight wet sheet transfer on front/top. Also thought it was cool that the B missed a little on the front, so it has a shadow effect. Two B's or not two B's is the question? :)

When bad things happen to good cards...

I like to collect Ray Caldwell and was very excited to see this:

I was wondering who pulled the trigger on that one - very tough card.

Interesting. I just picked up a Kisinger as well - same Piedmont WS transfer in the same location on the front. But no crop mark

Thanks Scott. It's the ugliest card I've ever purchased, but I couldn't help myself.

Finished Cubs Subset Again
 

Mostly lower to mid grade cards. The Lundgren has the PD350 back. I scanned with a little copycat scanner so the images are wonky.

more tobacco cards
 

T206 Hindu SL - Thanks Jamie!

Jeff, great idea for a new thread.

Picked this up from a board member.Nice catch.

Seems like most of the T216s out there are in really shabby condition. I have a T216 wagner (or, more accurately said, a piece of one) that SGC wouldn't encapsulate because they were afraid it would make what remains of the card fall apart.

One more pickup:
I plan on busting this one out of its plastic tomb and putting in a little display along with the M116 wagner and johnson I have (both pastel, and pretty beat up like this cobb. Actually this cobb is in the best condition of the 3.) But, I love cards that are worn out a bit, makes them look older and feel more "real" to me.

Been after this one for a very long time.

I'm having Cycle envy..nice card Jeff.

+1 - one of the nicest T207s I've seen.

My newest addition. The scan doesn't do it justice. Thanks for working with me Jeff.

Eric. Loving it!

I'm a big fan of the m116 blue backgrounds. Fantastic centering on that Cobb!

Jeff- The Cycle Donlin is one of my favorites. Nice card!
tbob

Picked up a Young from t206hound to go with my "wow, how is that still one piece?" Cobb from bbcard1 earlier in the year. Both look great in my office.

https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-2...0k/s575/12+-+1

Glad you like ol' Cy

Thank you guys; I love that card and have for a long time.

Thanks! Yeah I really love the M116 set. Haven't started collecting the whole set as I'm not really a set collector, but the few cards I have (wagner, johnson, bender, tinker) are some of my favorite cards in my collection.

Who is this?

While it looks a little like Mickey Mouse, I believe it to be Ty Cobb.

how thick is the paper stock on the t216 cobb? did you darken the scan? makes the card's color looks a little weird, like a reprint.

And three more
 

Thanks to Bill for the trade:

Good luck with it on the B/S/T in a week.

Are T216s really thin? Looks like quite a few layers of paper there. (Never owned one personally, so I am obviously no expert on the issue).

Pick-ups!
 

Finally found a Mullin. "Mikey likes it"

Donlin Cycle
 

Attachment 81007Gorgeous card Jeff, congratulations.

Mike
Great 4 set of sideways guys, especially at PSA 5 or greater.

So if this were a T206 missing ink like this, I'm sure it'd be $1500. But because it's a much scarcer E92 Nadja, I get to scoop it up on eBay for only $86. How's that make sense??

You know I love these T206 freaks... Thanks Andrew

Jamie, that's awesome. Poor Fred - he's having enough trouble catching that ball without the ground shifting on him.

I hope I'm not being a glutton, but Larry Fritsch had a tremendous impact on my collecting habits.

You own both Scott? Share the wealth :p

Another top shelf addition to your collection Jamie...congrats.

I decided to start out building the T206 Kansas City Blues set. Here's my first pick up for it, Jake Beckley.
