right?! i honestly couldn't believe how crisp/large the border is at 100+ years.

Newest addition. This is my first pink tint and Cleveland player. :D

What makes the card pink?

E220 Ruth
 

Glad to add this one. Has been a bit undervalued for a long time imo for a card you don't see too often.

Great Ruth there! That Wagner is a stunner too.

My first real T206 "find" in March.

Here is a good discussion about the color variations in the Old Judge set.

Slowly rebuilding my back run again...

Great pickup Pete! Awesome looking Ruth, one of his first cards in pinstripes. That baby is on my want list.

Just picked this up. My first T213. Now just waiting on the mailman:D

That Dutch Revelle is a beauty. Congrats on a great pickup.

T213 Meyers
 

David, that is a beauty of a 2.5...congrats!

My only non caramel pick up from the B & L auction, and my first T205. The images of the minor league players in this set are amazing, with the John Nee being my favorite.

I agree Mike. I guess I'll know more when I get it in hand.

Thanks Jason!

Great pick-ups, everyone.

Couldn't be happier about this pickup from Scott Forrest's site: http://www.belltownvintagecards.com/default.asp.

Great item, nice price and amazingly fast cross-country delivery!

FYI - the second player from the left in the back row is Artie Clarke, who played in 1890 and 1891 for the New York Giants.

New Pickup. Nothing special just wanted to get my focus back on cards.

Not vintage but had it made and love it.

Should be here next week:

Really nice card and great pickup.

Revelle with OM back happens to be one of my favorites.

Got these 2 nice T210's in the mail today thanks to a fellow forum member.

Very nice! I really like the 1914 Zeider. I think it is "the" unique card in the set. Of course the 1914 Mathewson and Pratt cards had the poses changed, but only the Zeider had two different cards with two different poses in the 1914 set, and had one of those poses (this one) omitted in the 1915 set.

How did it happen?

Nice pick up!

Couple more Naps for the back run

My first Sawyer Biscuit, and it's a Monty Stratton. Thanks to Marty who made a special guest appearance on the Board to discuss these cards.

Your side collection for your alma mater is growing with some impressive pieces. Neat team picture with a direct link to MLB.

Thanks Pete.

Thanks, Joe!

Unfortunately, I missed out on a couple of period scorecards recently that would have been perfect companion pieces, but such is the hobby! :)

Brian

That is one cool cabinet

Agreed! I wonder who lugged the chairs out into the hills!

Nice cabinet. Was looking at that one.

I really like that cabinet Brian.

Thank you gentlemen.

Thrilled to get this and in rare form, graded and mounted. With the hand tinting, true "art"--much like my Shonen postcard for the Babe....And will be fun to ID players (Walsh, Cicotte, etc.)... Feel free to join in or direct me to link where folks have already done that.

Greg- I love that image, so cool. How big is it? they are calling it a postcard on the flip?

It's oversized, 5 x 6 or so...

Greg,

Fantastic pickup.

Newest pick-up and one I'm excited about. The white mark near the side of his face is a scratch of the holder, not the card.

Happy to pick up a couple more Obak Seals. Think I got a pretty good deal on the Berry from Sterling, my first 1909.

ADDING- that Elberfield is clean! Nice pick up Adam

You definitively got a good deal Ian, nice pickup from Sterling! I was happy coming away with my only Sterling card that I bid on, hadn't seen one for sale in a while and needed it for my E90 Yankee collection:

-Buddy

I go back and forth on this type of memorabilia because it involves the player's family:

Jesse and Wajo!!

Tony,

Wow!

Awesome Ramlys, Tony! Wow! A great set that doesn't garner the attention or conversation that it deserves IMO.

Recent pickup from a forum member:

Amazing Tony!

Went through what's come in this month and have to just say it simply amazes me how much people buy or trade. And the quality is crazy. I know ill never be able to afford some of these but still nice stuff guys. I have a few things coming in this week and will def be sure to share.

Thank you, Frank:

WOW Tony!!! :eek: Superb!!!

Thanks Brian, Luke, Dean and of course John........ Much appreciated fellas!

Tony- killer.

That is a cool photo! Congrats.
JimB

Tony,
Those T204s are awesome! Congrats!
JimB

+1

Thanks, Jim!

Thanks Jamie :)

Tony, absolutely amazing Ramlys.

The WaJo may be my favorite card, all-time...from any set.
Your example is as good as it gets.

Congrats, sir.

Just got this 1907 Cubs Sporting Life PC in from Beckett. As far as I know this is the only graded example of this card. Have the '06 St Louis Browns one on its way as well!! Huge additions to my PC collection. Also has a stamp on the back with an exchange offer. Any info on the rarity of stamp vs. no stamp back? Most I've seen have no stamp.

Thanks Mike!

The stamp is extremely rare, this is either the 3rd or 4th I've ever seen. Nice pickup! (they are all from 1906 by the way, the two Chicago ones just say 1907 as a way to honor the champs heading into the next season)

Recent C46 pickups
 

Two high grade C46s (more to follow), These are the seller's photos as my scanner wouldn't do them justice:

Thanks Jeff! I had a feeling the stamp was pretty rare, glad you could confirm that for me! My Browns example has the stamp as well (same seller), but unfortunately water damage has erased about half of the text.

a few pick up
 

The W553's were from a board member and the other two off of the bay.

I picked this up at a flea market today, from the movie Strategic Air Command. I know Musial and June Allison, but who are the other two?

Sorry, I just realized this should have gone in March Pickups under Water cooler talk. If a mod wants to move it, please? My apologies.

Peanuts Lowrey and Memo Luna? :D:D:D

I did a little trading this weekend for these new gems.

Bill Posedel
 

The player in the middle is "Sailor" Bill Posedel

You say that so authoritatively, I must agree. I was hoping it was Memo Luna. :D:D:D

Nice images on the OJs.

T205 #33
 

Picked up this colorful character...going to get it in an SGC slab next weekend...

http://www.collectorfocus.com/images...nd-piedmont-25

Smooth transaction with mybuddyinc...thanks!

Sorry to burst your bubble, but I do not see Musial in this photo. June Allyson (note spelling) yes. To her left, right of the photo is Enos Slaughter. The other two I can not ID. Look like coaches to me.

Not Finished : Needs more cleaning .

1934-1935 St. Paul Saints ; Worch Cigar Company send-in-bands premium. Kids knew cursive in those days .

Did that come off of the display that just sold on eBay? I was wondering if that was actually a Worch-issued store display since it was found in St. Paul and looks a little too professional for being home-made.

That doesn't "burst my bubble," because I never had a bubble to burst. I bought this because it was there and 1954 Cardinals, which I think someone on this forum will like (yes, I could very easily be persuaded to part with the photo). I never noticed, though, how much Slaughter and Musial look alike from profile. The long, pointy nose; attached ear-lobes, similar smiles and eyes. I also was thrown by the fact that Slaughter played for the Yankees in 1954. Thanks for the correction. I also "note" the spelling of June Allyson. I'm not sure what possessed me to spell her name wrong.

Another Chief Meyers Colored S74 Silk
 

From the B/S/T thread I picked up my 15th Chief Meyers colored S74 silk.

Many thanks to Scott R.


Patrick

I'm making some progress in the Virginia League T209's.Im really looking for a few Colt examples.

that's a great display(worch?)

Few of the pickups from Sterling came in today. I am expecting some other cards in this week so more to come folks.

My first E90-1 Series Card ever
http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/g...s/IMG_3808.jpg

Scored these two for a lil more than I wanted to spend but great looking pieces for my set.

sterling pickup
 

A tougher t209 type than Hoffman, which I have, added to my collection. Fitting Irish-sounding name to arrive on St. Patties Day.<br><a href="http://s8.photobucket.com/user/zouraspm/media/collection/t209mcgeehan_zps2fb6bffb.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a47/zouraspm/collection/t209mcgeehan_zps2fb6bffb.jpg" border="0" alt=" photo t209mcgeehan_zps2fb6bffb.jpg"/></a>
