Tax refund can't come soon enough

Progress on my T209-2 set. I have picked up 5 this month. Here are a couple of my favorites from the recent group. Irvine is an upgrade even in SGC 10. If anyone is looking for a beater T209 Irvine let me know

Another Goudey to add on board.
 

Beautiful Goudey Hubbell. Nice addition to your set. :D:D:D

Mr Culpepper that's a great trio of recently picked up cards, with great back stories!

Cool beans!

I like the color on this one (from a guy who collects mostly B&W):

Nice Hofman, Todd. That was my card. Glad it found a great home!

Nice Hofman T213
 

Todd,

That's a blazer!

Great card Todd, I love that Red background!

A couple antique mall finds this last weekend.

First off is an Olsen's Base Ball card game printed by Olsen Games Co. in Portland Oregon. The instructions are copyright 1925, though I don't know when this actual set was printed. Included are 60 cards, 30 of them red backed and 30 blue backed. I can't find much information about the set but each card features a generic baseball player with a different baseball play. I removed the rubber band but it appears the bottom of the box may have been removed at some point, so the cards can slide out easily.

The second purchase was a vintage badminton racket manufactured by George Gibson Bussey & Co. I can't find much information on it but it appears to be late 19th century or early 20th century.

If anyone knows anything more about either of these items, please let me know. Thanks for looking.

Grant

Thanks guys. I swore I wasn't going to start another set, and am not by any means all in, but just liked this one alot.

Nice stuff everybody!

Beautiful pickups all!

Was away this weekend, so these beauties were waiting for me

I was better off when they had actually admitted that they didn't know what it was ; now that it's in a thirteen-ounce slab it's going to cost even more to send to Texas yet a third time.....

....I guess I must improve my penmanship or enclose Bob Lemke.....

If you are correct about the V351 designation and they slabbed it incorrectly, I would definitely call and ask them to reimburse your shipping costs for the third trip out.

Nice Shocker
Haha, I know, not appropriate, but very nice card

A mini run on Billy Purtell cards:
 

Technically, not actual additions, but a replacement and an upgrade:

Attachment 186732

Another card to check off my backs list, the Sweet Cap factory 42. Probably be a while before I tackle the Drum, Brown Lenox, Brown OM, etc., but I am making a good dent in the rest of them! Also, a couple kinda tough front back combos.

Great Pose Of Joe Cronin- 1939 Goudey Set
 

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


...R303B , a tad larger than the R303A . I love the action shots from these '39 Goudeys ; they look good in Beckett holders. This one is from that scrapbook I've been slowly disassembling ; it stopped in 1940 and was put away in dark dry storage and not touched for seventy years . I'll post the others as time permits.

Latest Addition:
 

That Lobert T206 is really a striking image; really nice for the grade.

1936 Ox Eckhardt IA:

Yes, Hans is much better looking in "person". The scan (like all my scans) is a bit fuzzy.

The closest I'll get to owning the T206.

Congrats Jeff!!!

Nice Jeff

Nice Jeff

OT. So, I am a Pirates fan and I go to a show in Strongsville (Cleveland) and what do I pick up? Of course.........Brooklyn.

Amazing Jeff
Looking at it and wondering, wow!
Nice!

Thanks to Dave K. & the board for helping me get one step closer to finishing the T213-1 set. Only 4 to go now. (Also shown the T213-1 Paskert Steve W. asked about in another thread. I checked for dupes, but it's the only Paskert I have). Rob

Damn Rob, really getting close now Congrats

What are the last 4 you need?

T213-1 64/68
 

Thanks, Jack. T213-1 needed: (Greminger, Hickman, LaPorte, Rhoades) BTW I was the one running up the T216 VE Bemis yesterday. Glad you got it. - Rob

Haha yea I was hoping I could wait till more people nodded off but when I saw the timer going under 2 minutes at 9:15, didn't have much of a choice

Was really hoping you had a raw Rhoades already since there's only 1 in the pop reports. Heh I really picked a lousy team to collect T's on

My win last night for the thread, only known Cleveland T216 VE

Glad I could help you out, Rob! I know that Hart has gone to a good home.

Congrats everyone,great stuff!!

Got my first new e96 and e95 upgrade in quite awhile. Excited for those, and I'm in love with this Polar Bear Collins. All purchased from board members, and much appreciated!

Luke, nice pickups; those borders are enormous on your PB Collins. Another one escaped the scissors!

Thanks Daryl!

.

Thanks to Derek at T206 Society!

Nice get Mike! I hope you're getting something even cooler Derek!

Great pickups everyone!

Mike, congrats, another sweet HOF rareback :D

My first Cobb from the Strongsville show.

What a blazer Chris :cool::eek:

Thanks Chris & Luke! I'm excited to acquire this Evers Hindu.

.

Picked this up (along with a bunch of '50 Bowman gems and a Signal Oil '47 card)... My 6th T206! (I'm a complete turtle when it comes to collecting... Financially, it's what I can do...). Fromme is my former co-worker's Great Grandfather...

Thanks SCOTT!!

I always wanted a Reulbach and Zackary is really into T-206 now...

Too bad about the pinhole, this is a tough front/back combo. I believe there are only 4 showing graded in in both PSA/SGC pop reports. I know that doesn't account for those graded prior to putting the back ID on the flip, but that is still a pretty low number.

Just picked up this W517 with a ghost on the back Attachment 187470

Got this OJ today, a little light on the picture, but the card is great for the grade. The scan actually makes it look lighter because my scanner is a jerk. Up to 283 different players

Awesome card. Appears to be a crop mark at the top on the white too.

The Cincinnati players have the best poses in the set. For whatever reason, they seem to be some of the most charismatic images. I really like the vibrant color of that Fromme too. T206 is most fun when it's void of finacncial stress so I hope you can continue to enjoy it in that manner.

My newest Keeler pick up.
