Nice one, Phil! :)

Got this Cobb from a board member. Couldn't be happier!

Nice Cobb Jerry. That's one I hope to land someday.

Beautiful Cobb Jerry!

That's a beauty Phil!

Phil, very nice imperial cabinet, great way to pick-up four HOFers with one purchase. Do you mind sharing who you purchased it from and any history you are aware of? Congrats.

Mike, beautiful Chance Rose Co :eek:

Thanks Chris.

Thanks Dean and Steven!

Sure, Joe. Bought the cabinet from Bryan Dec in Philly, very professional seller and great customer service as well.

Always happy to add another Gibson to my collection.

This one came from the most recent Collectible Classics auction. This was my first time bidding with them, and I have to say that I was quite happy with their customer service, their speed of shipping and how well protected everything was in the package.

Regards,

Richard.

Nice stuff on your Tolstoi quest.

I needed a small pre-war fix to last me until after the holidays:

Some great stuff coming here fellas.

Besides the obvious mislabeling by PSA, I'm quite pleased to have picked up this blank-backed missing color E92/E101

Holsum
 

I have been looking for this variety of Holsum Bread. This seller had several of these on eBay that are mislabeled by BVG.

Thanks Abe, I'm pretty happy to get it. The image on this supplement goes nicely with a 1910 Coca-Cola ad I picked up earlier this year (from a board member) that features Gibson with this same image. This same scene (with Bugs Raymond removed) can be found on a notebook cover that I'd love to pick up sometime.

Regards,

Richard.

Really dislike these baggies.

D350-2 Standard Biscuit Company Chief Meyers
 

Picked up this Standard Biscuit Company card of Chief Meyers to add to my Chief Meyers collection. I believe the ACC designation should be D350-2 on this one. Compliments of Champs and Bums recent auction.

A couple more OJs
 

I don't see many Fred Smith cards come around so I grabbed this one :)

Nice team change card of Brooklyn outdoor shot and Des Moines card to boot. Glad you are still growing the collection (noticed you selling a few).

Nice month for me so far. I added 11 m114s to my collection, putting me at 847 m113s and m114s, but my favorite new item is this $10 ebay purchase, an April 1912 Police Gazette centerfold of a play at the plate (23 X 16) :

I actually have some dupes I bought at times when I thought they were cheap... But now I think certain OJs go cheap because everyone already has them!

I liked Collins and George. But I found sliding poses and don't need double players... I also have an extra Fred Mann not listed... Most of my doubles are common; and I've been 'low key' trying to get rid of then for a while now. I'm beginning to think they'll be loitering in my binder for quite some time. :)

I can't quit I'm compleatly psychology addicted, and I don't plan on seeking help. :)

Got in a few packages today. I will be holding off for a few weeks maybe until after the holidays until more purchasing comes in. Thanks for looking guys

Thanks for the trade Mike.

Missed the one I really wanted, but had a blast bidding all the T212s, and happy to land these two.

Obaks
 

Love those Obaks - those are some beautiful cards.

Rick

VERY excited to have won this last night in the Huggins and Scott auction. A K Bat has been on my want list for a very long time. Now if I could only pick up an N173:

Great stuff, guys. Here's a back grid (thanks CB) with a few new additions.

I can call you Betty, and Betty when you call me, you can call me Al
 

Just received this in the mail yesterday.

I'd mentioned on the 2014 collecting goals topic that this Al Simmons card was one of the ones I'd hoped to acquire. Well, I just received this in the mail yesterday afternoon because of the kindness of one of our forum members. Thank you, Kenny, for your incredible generosity. :)

I won't be buying anything more until the end of January, but I got the last card I purchased in the mail today. It's not a prewar card, but it's part of the Roberto Clemente master set I'm working on. It's a real beauty! I'll be posting it on the post war pickup thread.

Postcard for the PCL'ers
 

One you don't see too often: Portland Beavers, 1932, pennant winners that year. For more, visit http://www.sportingoregon.com/

A few pretty nice low grade E98's.

T205 #23
 

Been on a bit of a T205 kick lately...thanks to Frank B. for making this one available to me...

http://www.collectorfocus.com/images...lte-hassan-649

Nice Schulte!

Awesome pickups Mike. I love that Wagner!!

Very cool one-off cabinet for Boston Beaneater catcher Tom Gunning, probably 1884-1886.

http://www.net54baseball.com/attachm...1&d=1387162066

Thanks Dean.

Gregg

Cool cabinet.

More T205s...
 

Thanks to Bill Brown (BBT206) for #24, 25 & 26 in my collection...

http://www.collectorfocus.com/images...xen-polar-bearhttp://www.collectorfocus.com/images...rd-piedmont-25http://www.collectorfocus.com/images...us-piedmont-25

Always loved the t205's wish i never sold my partial set I had oh well what ya going to do.

Sold a "4" a few years ago and wished I hadn't. Now got one back.


http://www.net54baseball.com/attachm...1&d=1387284074

Beautiful Miller. Great pose, great colors.

T212's are making me drool in general

Great cards and happy holidays to all.

I still love looking at that e102 Cobb!!!

Heres mine, no idea why it graded this way, crease free with a clean back...poorly cut caster though.

Nice Kashin Steve! I similarly recently got one in 3.5 and like you have NO idea why it graded that. Aside from a couple light corner dings (EX worthy), there are no wrinkles, stains, markings, etc. I'm not sweating it, the card looks great and the number probably got me a better deal.:D

On those Kashins--I got a "3" for Gehrig this year that I was sure was a 4 or 5--sent it to SGC and they pointed to a VERY light crease--on the back! Still seemed worthy of a 4. So maybe you need to get out those microscopes...

This arrived today...thanks Chris.

Took a bit of time off but back with some Hindu Naps from Joe's last night

submission back from SGC
 

Submitted 65 cards, only added three to the collection... had a few 30 and 35 I contemplated keeping, but decided to hold firm:

I count them...
 

I just got a sub back from SGC, and while I have had a few of these cards for many years, I still count them as new since they are all dressed up in black :D

Nice Brian

Sweet cards Brian!

A few recent ones for me:

couple recent tobins.

A birthday gift from my wife
 

This Evers is much better in person than in the scan.
The picture is crisp; cleaner than any other T206 I have owned.

A couple key Goudey pickups

Very nice dizzy dean looking for one myself

My very first Delong. A fellow Milwaukeean and my grandfather grew up just a few blocks from him.

Awesome looking card Brian, makes me wanna think about starting that set!

Gift from the wife? Nice pickup!

The card is nice, too. ;) :)

Thank you on both! Last year it was a Green Cobb. Maybe we can keep this green T206 theme going.

Philpot Studio Postcard 1915 Sanford, ME
 

This postcard arrived today featuring the 1915 Sanford, Maine Team, the 1915 Champions of Maine and New Hampshire. Anyone guess who the famous ballplayer is in the front row left wearing the nice sweater? His hometown was Sanford, Maine which is about 30 minutes west of where I live.


Patrick

I think I used to own that one. It is incredibly crisp. Almost doesn't seem real it's so nice. Nice pickup!

Packs,
Nice KBat!

JimB

Thanks! My wife told me that she didn't remember which one I showed her when I originally found it on eBay. So when she decided to buy it, there was a SGC 20 also on eBay that was stained and rounded corners that was $15 more. I am glad she went with this one. It is definitely a card worth looking past the grade. I have had very few cards that had a surface this well focused. I would buy all T206s in this grade if they looked this good and kept the price down.

I was psyched to pick up these fat border upgrades from ML the other night.

Another Hap Hogan 1911 Obak
 

Picked this one up on my big night on ebay a few days ago. It was already a favorite pose of mine and when I noticed the difference between it and my original copy I decided to grab it as well. The Obak sets are full of unusual oddities.
