Love that Gehrig exhibit Jim, great early image of Sweet Lou. Nice exhibits all around, that Cobb is no slouch either!

1909 Obak Drummond Brown
 

This Drummond Brown T212-1 1909 Obak arrived today. I believe I need only one more card to complete the catcher card run in the set.

Admittedly not baseball and I have no idea of how rare it is, but I spotted this on ebay and thought that the upside-down back made it worth the $11. The brand being related to the T206 set made it a nice pickup for me.

Thanks Trey. I'm thinking that these tougher dark tints may have been made in Canada even though they have "made in USA" on the back.

Todd,

Pretty rare. I do have one so there must be a sheet out there's worth. Nice pickup for sure at $11 in my opinion.

Rob

Im very excited to add these tough Series 6 cards. One of the most pleasant deals I have ever had!

Here's a 1904 Benefit Game Scorecard with Joe Kelley and a 1906 RPPC of the Washington P.O.M.L. Club that includes Bill McKechnie.

Picked up another Hindu HOFer from a friend on the forum. Thank you sir :)

Roger Bresnahan (Mouth Open) T205
 

Very happy to have grabbed this one on eBay for under $100 shipped.

Awesome front but paper loss on all four corners on the back. Since it will be displayed couldn't be happier!

:cool:

Magnificent example of Old Cy.

steve...awesome old cy!!!! cool t205 miscut too!!!

Adam - love that Joyce. He was a stud player...I haven't looked recently, but I wanna say he was one of the top OBP guys of all time. And a very good base stealer. The 19th century version of Rickey Henderson.

I picked up this Malcolm T209 to match the Red Border!

Nice

A Couple Of Big Pickups
 

A couple of big pickups recently. My first Cobb........finally!

Very nice cards Phil!

A LOTG auction pickup. Great service and shipping! I had wanted a Ruth from this Braves season and I think these look nicer than the 1935 Goudey 4 in 1's...

Just got this one gradedAttachment 167915

I'm very happy with this card , but don't understand the "grade."
Sure looks better than "good" to me(my eyes) ...... guess I just don't understand grading ?
Ken

Thanks Dean,
It's been a long wait for my first Cobb.

I would say vg+ would be right look at my CJ Jackson I got an A because looks like someone repaired the back but looks mint to me. Rob

This card is in the running for the ugliest pickup of the month... :o

Not "true" vintage, but just picked this up in a nice deal and thought I'd share. : ) Eck printing plate from 2014 Allen & Ginter.


http://i1273.photobucket.com/albums/...ps62a513de.png

Thanks to a couple board members for these two cards.

Very nice!

Never even knew this card existed until recently. Thanks Dave!

Not to shabby yourself :)

Phil, a big congratulations on your first Cobb. Both of those cards a really nice. The Shaughnessy has been a tough card to find in nice shape. Well done.

Porkchops-congratulations! It feels great, doesn't it? Every time I get a new T206 in, I still feel a thrill. Make sure to head over to "What's your Monster number" thread, and join in on the fun.

Well, it's been a slow month or so for me on the pre-war side. I just got this in today, so I've kept the urge to go nuts in check just a little longer. :D

A big thank you to Frank for this beauty. The Weimer portrait is one of my favorite cards in the set. Just a great picture.

Indeed, that is one fugly card you've got there :)

Thanks again,

Jerry that gypsy has some great colors just a remarkable looking card nice pick up

The T210 is a beautiful set. Great looking card.

Kind of neat little item from Drum Tobacco (Drummond at the time).

Very cool.

Val,

Here is your answer:

OT and offbeat. From a 1922 Spalding Guide How to Pitch:

Some new ones for my type collection:

My first signed Cracker Jack. Actually, my first Cracker Jack of any kind! Thanks Ted!

Disassembling a dilapidated scrapbook ; slowly

....They have the Burke stamp on the back...the Rajah looks like it was the photo used for the R313 Fine Pen of 1936 and I'm not sure but I know I've seen that mug-shot of Moe Berg on a card I think...

...I have a long task ahead of me ; the kid who put the scrapbook together used a lot of adhesive and used both sides of some very sturdy construction paper as pages...he has almost the entire mid-thirties St. Louis Browns team plus the owner and manager and trainer...awesome piece, and all appear to be Burke photos

... The Berg was recently liberated from a different scrapbook and the photos from that one were all sold on E-Bay over the last several weeks...maybe you saw the Babe Ruth ( $500 )and the Feller ($48)...I won only the Berg but that's okay...

.

Prewar cards are usually so not conducive to holding an autograph due to their small size; Cracker Jacks are different. That's a beautiful card.

Edited to add: I also love the way SGC handled the grading of the card and autograph independently.

A couple new D311s. Sweet.

T207 Jack Lapp
 

Picked this one off eBay with a best offer.

Patrick

Fabulous Mo Berg photograph. Hornsby is great also, but the Berg is amazing composition.

Nice pickups Jason!

No very computer oriented, thus the bad pics,sorry. I'm trying my best. I need a scanner,but wouldn't know what to do with it anyhoo...:o

Beautiful Johnson.

Kenny - great Mendez and Faber!! Here's my most recent pick-up:

Thank you Rob November has been kind to me.

Thanks to Mark for this nice 1917 E135 Sam Rice rookie card to upgrade the pathetic example (also shown below) that I've long had in my Sam Rice collection. The pathetic example is now available for purchase or trade (a bit of shameless promotion). My Boston Store Rice rookie is equally pathetic, and I'd also love to upgrade it (hint, hint!).

You meant the T206, right? :rolleyes:
