First Lajoie SGC 30 :) thanks Derek for everything!

Loving the two Polar Bears and the beater Tolstoi :D

Wow
 

Chris - that's awesome! I think I had about 9 diff. M101-6's in the 90's before I gave up. I just couldn't take not adding to my collection for like 2 years.
Congrats on having nerves of steel!

Good job Chris--way to take them out of circulation for the rest of us :(

Tony, I still have the m101-6 Sisler you sold me more than 9 years ago. Should have jumped on the Collins then too:o

E90-1 Criger from the Lionel Carter Collection
 

Honored to add this upgrade to my collection that was once owned by Lionel Carter.

Patrick

A couple of pieces for my two sets came in today. Snagged the Foxx from Ebay and the Gehringer from here thanks to Brian Van Horn. Here are some photos guys

Patrick, that is a crispy, clean Criger.

That's cool to hear that you still have it. Nice to know it's in a safe place! Post a photo sometime, I'd like to see it again. I don't even remember which ones I had it's so long ago:eek:

Thanks for the kind words everyone - it can be an excruciating set to try and find examples from. Only good thing about their scarcity is that the droughts keep me from going broke!

A new Cobby
 

Got a 2nd chance on this E90-1 Cobb and pulled the trigger, after having it offered (at same price) about 2 years back. I've never been centering obsessed, which is good for this one... now just hope those 1908 rumors end up being true:D

I already had a T206 Speaker - but for some reason, I always wanted this card with a Polar Bear back.

Todd

I think Speaker T206 is one of the best looking cards of this set.

So I get what you say. That is why I also have more than one.

My second Pre-war card ever. Obviously my first T212. My first pre-war hasn't arrived yet.

Man, that is a terrible scan!

That card looks great from space. ;)

LOL! I'll re-do tomorrow.

Ruth cards back from SGC today
 

I really love the R309 Ruth.

Fun, and way cool. No Ruth for me yet......someday the stars will align!

Thanks, Joe. I really like the T206 Speaker as well. I'm on a tight budget - so I had to sell my other one (PSA 4 - MK) to afford the Polar Bear. Great card.

Todd

I've always like the r309 Ruth as well, one of these days I'm sure I'll pull the trigger on one.

Dj

Alaska BBC of Brooklyn, I think.

Jay, that looks awesome but can you post a clearer picture?

Jennings

George--how is this? The image is not as sharp as I might like, but it is pretty neat.

Much better...thanks! That's a great piece...I could swear I've seen this somewhere before (probably on here) some time ago and always thought it was a great image. If you ever obtain more information on the team, I'd love to hear about it.

Patrick,
Wow! That Criger is sharp! Nice looking card!

Jay,
Cool image!

2 Newbies
 

Shocker via the B/S/T - Thanks Brian. Alan Bean, the 4th man to walk on the moon. Nothing cooler than that!

Very cool Mack Woodcut!! I didn't even know that existed!!

As for Jay's photo, you always know it's one of his with that requisite finger in each and every photo.

That's how he digitizes his photos.:rolleyes:

LOL, consider it as my quarter

Came in today. Set is coming along

Great looking 34's!

1910 July Litho Calendar
 

Picked up this cool item for my catcher collection. My birthday happens to be in July as well.

Cool ad on back as well. Card is postcard size with great color and design. Produced by the Strobridge Litho company which is well known for it's circus litho posters.

Got Lucky : Two Badly-Needed Upgrades In One Fell Swoop
 

http://imagehost.vendio.com/a/204295...S_0002_NEW.JPG



.... Dilemma : but I still love the rattys..... logic dictates that I bite the bullet , cull the herd , and sell the what-are-now-dupes......but we all know that ain't gonna happen anytime soon... ah well they don't take up much space and the memories of originally obtaining them - priceless.


....the only people that understand this situation are all in here...

..

Sweet OJs! :)

Thanks guys.

I posted this Dockman Tinker earlier in the thread when it was raw. Just picked it up from Beckett today. Only 4 PSA and 1 SCG graded higher, so I was happy.

Nice looking Tinker, Trey!

Great card Trey!

Thanks guys! It's by far my highest grade pre-war card. I've been collecting vintage for almost a year now and I am HOOKED!

Mike - Nice Bonura
 

Well now I know who outbid me on the Bonura!

Jeff

Nice chips Jeff!!

Yeah

My first R312.

http://www.net54baseball.com/attachm...1&d=1390577678

I almost put a bid in for that last night. One of my favorite R312 cards. I picked up the 1927 York Caramel E210 - Bob Meusel.

Very Nice !!!

Decided to finally pull the trigger on a few cards for my E95 and T206 sets.

Did anyone win this on Ebay?
I bidded on it several times...but gave up when my Goodwin catalog came in the mail
I researched it, as i am not much pre-war, and it says it was a Plank RC...Correct??
From what i seen on prices..it was a good bargin i believe..
It was a NICE one, and have to show it after it ended.

I'm not sure if there are any cards of him prior to this one, but here's his E107 from 1903:

Oh Sweet!..Love that PIC. Sometimes B&W is nice

Matty / Feller

That was my eBay listing. The buyer got a pretty darn good deal if you ask me. Oh well! I don't recall representing it as a rookie, but if I did, it was in error . Rookie cards are what I know best!!

Hey guys. I won the Plank. Happy it came from a board member! Just FYI i'll be sending payment after I get home from work.
