the Mailman bringing some goodness today.. 1916 Police Gazette Supplement of George Sisler. Yes, it looks like hell at the bottom and it's laminated, but I rarely see these, and the price was right...

Ebay win came today

Gotta decide what I'm gonna do with that strip of tape on the bottom

Also a few days early but might as well make one post

Thanks Brian. 4/5 SGC Indians down...Where are you Guy Morton

Very cool, Sisler, Dave.

Very nice David! I love the line at the bottom of the Supplement ...
"Clever Utility Expert, and One of the Best Allaround Ballplayers in the Country"

Amazing, as he was a rookie in 1915 (played about 1/2 a season) so 1916 was his first full season and he was already being touted as one of the best!

Neat item, congrats!

Dave - fantastic item! That's the first time I've ever seen that "card" before!!

Thanks guys..

Yeah. At 12x17, it's an awfully big card:D

It's still not quite as cool as that 1914 Michigan program you have though..

Aguilitas and Billiken
 

Attachment 98474Attachment 98475

These arrived today in trade. Really like the Isidro Fabre Aguilitas. I got these for types, but will start collecting the Aguilitas. Thanks

Joe,

Love those 5... they look great in SGC holders!

New additions to my modest Gehrig collection. The w502 was from the recent Heritage auction.

Thanks for letting me share.

Jeff - great Gehrigs!!! Love that W590!!

Thanks Derek. I've been looking for a w590 that presented okay for a while now. As beat-up as this seems, it's the nicest I've come across.

I used to own that W590 Gehrig, nice pick-up, Jeff!

Nice w590 Gehrig. I don't think I've seen that image before. Sweet card!

I appreciate it, guys!

Thanks Doug:

Signed 1933 Goudeys
 

Picked up these 1933 Goudeys for my signed pre-war collection. The cards are pretty beat, but the signatures are nice.

May Pickups
 

I stopped by a card shop in Brookville, Indiana today to look around. I found a T206 Clark Griffith Sweet Cap back and T202 Tri-Fold Grant / Hoblitzel to add to my Reds collection in great condition. These will be going to SGC shortly for grading. Another perfect example that cards are still out there and it was fun talking about the hobby to a long time store owner. You never know what you are going to come across.

Happy Collecting.

Thanks Jason. Love your Brooks with those big wide borders.

Happy to have this one...
 

Just picked this one up and couldn't be happier!!!

Some great pickups from a fellow board member (in-person even)!

Actually this last one was April, but I haven't had a chance to upload until now. Not a Highlander/Yankee, but there isn't one in the set, and it's a classic picture.

http://www.net54baseball.com/picture...ictureid=11266

Some fantastic cards posted on this page! Congrats, guys!

Nice Travis! Glad you got that card quickly, regret didn't get a chance to set in and become a game changer :)

Now what team are you going for?

N172s
 

I still want to try and get my jersey city orourke back and work through the rest of that team if there is any??? I don't know how many there are.

Plus, I really want an n173

Gerhardt, Holbert and O'Rourke are the only players from that set. The Holbert JC card is extremely tough to find, just one pose and that pose also shows him with two other teams. Good luck!

T207
 

been wanting one of these for a while....can now scratch it off the list.

Jersey City Cards
 

John:

I have notes that say Harry Lyons also has an N172 with Jersey City. I haven't seen one personally. Have you? Or do you know for certain it does not exist?

Kevin

I guess that is a new one, the list I was going off is very old. I'm guessing the Lyons, which does exist, might even be tougher than the Holbert

Mail day, well actually UPS day today!

Nice Cobb, Dean.

Thanks Mike.

Thank you, Bob:

Nice Cobb, Dean! (my avatar thinks so, too ;) )

Nice cards everyone, Love the Gehrigs!

I'm very pumped about this pickup, love that most of the Photos were also used in the T210-4 series for Charleston-

Raymond Brown
 

I was excited to receive this Hall of Famer's card in the mail today. I know that Brown began his career in 1930, and his playing career ended not to long after this Carmello Deportivo card was issued. Does anyone know if there are any earlier cards of Raymond Brown?

Best regards,

Joe

Nope, you've got the earliest known card!

Here's Raymond Brown's other card -- the Denia -- but its from 1950-51.

So cool!! I have never seen this card before! So awesome!

here's my earliest Raymond Brown item...
 

but he's pictured w/ his team-mates!!

It's a 1935 Negro League Broadside. I picked it up last year.

Great card, Kenny. That's a really tough one as you know.

Yes, Scott, great images................


Still wonder what the $%&*# Benny is doing !!!! :)



Maybe as manager he's signaling the old triple steal :rolleyes:

Scott

I'm on a roll...
 

Picked up Dizzy Dean last month, Pepper Martin arrived yesterday.

I did know that.
Was happy to get it, minus tab and all.

Another E92 Nadja
 

Pretty happy with the progress i'm making on the set at this point. This is number 10 and I only have 2 St. Louis players. Only wish i could find another HOFer or two.

Just picked up my first signed T206 (in an SGC holder) a couple weeks ago. I'm probably going to break it out of the holder tonight and put it in my binder. I just like the way they all look (in the binder)!

Big Thanks to SGC
 

Just went to SGC today... They were Extremely helpful. making sure that the card was not damaged during the reholder process. Thank you SGC! You are Top Notch! Cobb Lenox in its new SGC Holder
http://i251.photobucket.com/albums/g...psc0d10a2a.jpg

http://i251.photobucket.com/albums/g...pse96ebd08.jpg

I love that m116 (pastel) Cobb. Still one of the most underrated sets out there, in my opinion.

Sweet crossover, congrats! I have a question.. did they give you any rough indication that the card would grade prior to cracking it out, and if so what they thought it would receive? I'd think they could never guarantee anything until they took the card out, but I have a nice Cycle Speaker in a GAI holder I've considered trying to cross. I've never sent cards for submission, so I'm a total rookie when it comes to getting cards graded.

This is going to look pretty sweet next to a Drum!

Epic combination ... congrats!!!

Nice Jamie! Congrats.

Did they put it in a clear sleeve before slabbing, looks like there's something clear in there. If so, never seen SGC do that before.

Nice card for sure.

Thanks Guys..

Mike.. yes the cobb has a protective plastic around it.. SGC said it would be help ensure the card would not be damaged during the reholder process. I was up for what ever gave me the best chance of holdering the card without damage so i said ok.

I'm confused... how would a plastic sleeve help? Don't they just cut out the black felt and then stick the card in? Is there risk of damaging the card when they are cutting out the black felt?

Seymour..

SGC said that heat and pressure are part of the holdering process.. not a problem for the majority of cards... but very rarely... for cards that have layers of paper loss...as such with the corner on my cobb lenox.. if the paper loss is severe enough, causing the paper to be much thinner then normal.. the card could be damaged while being holdered....So SGC will have reservations about holdering such a card....especially if it is an expensive card..

The plastic helps to protect the card from the holdering process (heat and pressure) as they described it to me... They strongly recommended it based on the condition of the Cobb...and I went with their recommendation.. as the card didn't get damaged during the process I am happy I followed their advice.

SGC has a great bunch of guys working there. Really top of the line..my advice is just let them be the judge and follow what advice they give... when it comes to should a card be holdered or not due to how flimsy the card may be.

Wow, Jamie, thanks for sharing. That is very interesting... sounds like you made a good decision under the circumstances. Congrats on the crossover.

Great pickups, everybody. I am very much enjoying this thread! :)

Gorgeous 1.5, Adam!

It's not felt, it's black plastic with a fairly sharp edge. I think all cards should be holdered with the sleeve, I've busted cards out and noticed damage to the edges of the card, from the insert.

Nice card Jamie!

They really ought to be careful then to make sure the insert is large enough to not damage the edges of the card, but I don't think that's sufficient reason to subject every card to a sleeve. Certainly it makes sense in this scenario, however.

Just back from SGC today, I picked up these two raw on ebay not too long ago. The Elberfeld came back about what I expected, and I am very pleased with the grade on the Chase to say the least. :)
