Thanks Joe and Derek. And nice Leon Day pickup!!

My first type 1 - hopefully. Didn't pay any more than what I'm paying to get '61 Topps high numbers, so it's no great loss if it is not an original.

If the year is correct, he'd be 25 yrs old and in his rookie year.

It's short, but it's not trimmed. You can see on along the front bottom edge where the green print came up around from the back. I believe this card was on the bottom of the sheet. Thanks to Dan M. for the deal and for PSA & Love of the Game auctions for my new loupe!

Plank photo
 

Interesting photo. It looks like this exact photo (same notations) sold in a 2011 Mears auction. I am thinking that Plank looks too old in the picture to be 1901. His photo on the 1903 E107 looks like a much younger person. The memorabilia guys might be of more help in placing a year on the photo.

My guess on the Plank photo is 1910's but produced at a later date, most likely.

TBob who is the middle card top row of your raw pickups? Great pickups.

Beauty.

Very happy to pick up this N162 Brouthers.

My first Cobb 40!
 

I picked this up raw in July and AG was able to get it graded for me at the National. So super stoked that it got a 40!

Congrats on the Cobby!! You certainly have an eye for raw-to-40's!! I love your collection focus. It's certainly an interesting (and ambitious) endeavor!!

Big one to check off Erick. Nicely done.

Look at that RED!

Nice cards everyone!!

A national pickup--E92 (Thanks Leon)...and a two other new T216's (and one repeat)

Mac

Mike-Glad you liked the Chase and that it made it there safely. I knew you'd like it, it's a beautiful card and you got a great deal on it. I just don't collect the T3s. Thanks again.
tbob

Thanks Jason- it's C.L. Derrick a toughie from series 5.
Bob

After looking for almost three years Ive finally secured a Mordecai Brown for my m101-4/M101-5 Cubs set. Still need a Bresnahan if anyone can help :)

Attachment 109846

Love the M101-6s! You need a HOFer now, Mike!


Here is one of my pickups from the National. (clean back)

Very nice NC Wags pickup Brian!

Another one...
 

Just picked it up today. Very happy as it is my first Goudey Ruth.

Blow me away!
 

The month is not even half way over yet, and once again you guys all blow me away with the cards that you pick up month after month. I thank you for sharing your collections with me and everyone else. I know that they add to the brightness of my day. I look forward to seeing just a few new cards each day. Yes, I don't own them, but I if I could, I would still look at them all day!
Thanks,
Tim

Hey brad, nice ruth

Gorgeous Rucker portrait, Bill!

Thank you, it's my favorite thus far. :)

Bought off the B/S/T. Thanks Jason.

Damn Vic, lay off the lipstick.

Congrats again Erick! Glad I was able to get that one slabbed for you. Thanks for all the help you've given me.

Best,

Andy

Got these in the mail today: 1907-09 H.M. Taylor Bill Coughlin postcard and a 1915 Baseball Magazine Christy Mathewson Premium.

My 7th Red's postcard from '19, thanks to Matt on the BST for waiting for me to return to the states to complete the purchase.

May 1915 The American Boy.."The Fence Buster"
 

Finally found an item in an antique shop here in Maine that fits my collection of catcher magazine art covers.

1912 posctard- Cobb with favorite bat
 

I have loved this pose since I first saw it. I guess I will collect postcards now....:o

That must be where George Costanza got his seductive 1-hour photo pose.

That's where i saw that pose before!

My first non red border pickup in awhile.I guess Im going to go for the Richmond Colt T209's on the side.Thanks Scott for a fun trade last week.

great postcard Leon!

my newest w572 Ruth
 

Finally found the white gloss stock version of the W572 Ruth.

E94 Wagner
 

I've been looking for this red background E94 Wagner for a long, long time. It arrived in the mail today. Thanks to Joe T. for the card.

My goodness! THAT is exactly the kind of Wagner i am looking for. May i ask what it typically goes for?

Joe T is the man. As great as they come.

Tough Burkett

Very happy to scratch these 2 off my want list for cheap:

Nice GCA rookie card, Erick.

Eric, this should help you out:

http://www.cardtarget.com/cgi-bin/gm...dID=1373389271

That will provide sales histories from Ebay as well as auction houses. As far as private sales, I would expect them to be in the same ballpark.

Card Target is a great resource, one you should really become familiar with.

Happy collecting!

Bill

[QUOTE=ThoseBackPages;1172312]My goodness! THAT is exactly the kind of Wagner i am looking for. May i ask what it typically goes for?]

Hi Erick. I paid a little more than I wanted but it was the background color (red) that I needed. A violet or red one goes for more because they are so scarce in those two colors. Now I need the gold background Wagner and I will have finished up the Wagners....

Awesome Wagner
 

Bob,
Congrats on the Wags. 1 more to go!!!
Tim

[QUOTE=tbob;1172484]Thank you for responding :) which of the background colors is "easiest"?

Thanks Bill, i will have to check it out :)

My first T213-1. Now need the Hindu for a full CHOP set.
From eBay last night:

And a wonderful link:

[QUOTE=ThoseBackPages;1172493]Erick- the E94 set is unusual in many ways, one of which is that different players are scarcest in different colors. Violet and gold backgrounds have for many, many years been presumed to be the toughest colors to find but olive green appears to be the toughest with several players. The olive green Byrne, for example is almost impossible, I have only seen one ever and still need it. In the Wagner, the red appears toughest for some reason.
I think the violet scarcity in the E94 is due also to the fact that a few collectors are trying to collect the set in violet only and many collectors just love the violet background color.

I was lucky enough to scratch off my #1 want list card last week.Thank you Chris for a pleasant transaction.

Jason, your #1 card? Nice going.

Awesome pose, congrats Jason!

Thanks Phil! I really don't care about the number grade it looks more like a 4 to me, 1 very light small corner crease and some dirt/staining on reverse. I'm was happy to find a low grade copy with nice eye appeal!

Managed to pick up a couple T205's for my set...many thanks to Goodman's Sports Cards at Westchester for working with me on these two...nice man.

Also picked up a Wallace a few weeks back and don't think I posted it...

I didn't get to go to Nationals but my son did and he brought me back a present. Not the right year for the T206 cards but still was nice to get the pack from him. He took me long enough to take a picture didn't it.

Rob,Sean,thanks guys!

C46 Jack Hardy (Montreal)
 

Another C46 catcher arrived today, Jack Hardy.

Need just Fred Mitchell to complete the 12 card catcher run in the C46 set.

Patrick

Beautiful Imperial!!

Slightly post-war but thought it fit here.

1946-47 RPPC of the Almendares Team that won the Cuban Championship. I haven't been able to track down another one of these in past auctions. I did see a premium with a colorized image, but not a postcard.

It features Negro League legends Buck O'Neil and Ducky Davenport. Tough to find O'Neil career pieces and this is from what I think was his only season in Cuba.

http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m...ps078f24f3.jpg

Very cool, never seen a postcard like that before either.

I'll second that!! Very cool postcard!! Great pick-up!

Thanks Bruce!

First Hall of Famer in a 5!

Back scan!

Nice card Wazz congrat!

Thanks for the kind words on the Almendares card guys.

I'm really jealous!!! :o Great card!
Congrats!
