Collecting players that played for Columbus in 1883-1884 and 1889-1891. Needed a reason to buy more OJs. (Supper addicted to the cards)

Sean,

Thank you. I will notify them of the Marberry and the Altrock/Schacht cards.

OJ's
 

Joe, this is one of the many reasons I love this forum, I am always learning something new. I'm almost embarrassed to say, I had no idea that all the 87 Brooklyn cards were taken outdoors. That is a great tidbit to know. It will allow me to enjoy that card even more, if possible! Thank you for sharing!

Steven, nice OJ pickups, I hope I'm not getting an OJ bug. I can't afford it!

Cool
 

Thanks for posting. Even without the baseball reference that is one great and humorous piece of Americana.

Brian

Finally!
 

Excellent card Raymond. :)

.

Cobb number 2 for me.

That Walter Johnson is spectacular. :)

+1

Technical difficulties

Not an expert, but my input is "WANT". Nice card.....

Got this one dirt cheap--not something I'd usually grab as an "A" but one of my favorite t205s... Not expert on SGC rejection codes--I thought just "C" for color added so not sure what CLI means...156 refers to three different corners or sides...I guess... any idea about CLI ? Or maybe that's just the sellers code, most likely....

Just picked up my second Dr. Steen m101-2

Great sunset pose with Cobb...always love that one..

My Johnson may not be spectacular, but it does what I need it to. :cool:

Thanks, Chris, for a great transaction.

So does my Crawford and Walsh! Anyone seen this stamp before? Looks like some kind of game?

And, my new Obaks, 1909 Mohler and 1910 Browning with the Just Right slogan:

n172
 

2 more n172's...

Eddie is enroute ...
 

Finally got him. I passed on two fairly high grade cards over the last couple of years and had regretted it ever since. This made my month.

Took off the afternoon to sign for this one today. Diamond-cut with WST on reverse silhouetting Cobb's head. I know this isn't scrap because of the diamond-cut but would this be considered a "freak", an oddity, or otherwise? Doesn't matter too much, I can't put the thing down either way! Would love get some feedback from some T206 experts or anyone else who cares to chime in on this one!

Herb:

Awesome looking card! Worth the wait!

Kevin

very excited to add this final piece (front and back) to my now completed Signed 1920's A's HOF RC collection....

Finally got my hands on this card after searching for a long time for a decent one.

I probably overpaid but I couldnt resist this lot.

Nice Williams. That one is on a short list of cards I'm looking to add soon.

Team Issue 1933 ? Detroit Tigers

...These are the same size as the 1935-1936-1937 Fine Pens/Wide Pens photo-cards , but not glossy and on much thicker stock , almost the same as the exhibits' , and blank backed . Sold for ten cents for an envelope of a set of ten different players. These four were in the original envelope which was noted as " Set No. 2 "---being inside the original envelope all these years kept them in really decent condition --- Centering is all over the place . I've never seen any of these particular poses in other sets-- I believe this would be Gehringer's rookie year ?? How about Bridges ?? Any help from Tigers historians would be appreciated .

... I've already posted the"Mickey Cochrane Manager '33 " card from this set in ''Follow The Picture'' if anyone wants to see that one. That's a great pose too.


..

Mike,

The set is referred to as the 1934 Newton Annis Furs. Here is another example:

Mike,
it would be Greenberg's Rookie year but Gehringer's was 1926

Thanks, John!

Just a couple
 

Just a couple this month. Finished off the Horizontals with this Murphy.

I was looking for a good quality for one at the right price for years. Sadly I should have just pulled the trigger a long time ago because prices have gone up.

Thanks in advance Ed! I have always loved this blue background Lajoie portrait and am thrilled to finally own one!

Beauty, Dan!!

Thanks Dave!

Nice Addition!

Despite the issues, the front/back combo was just too intriguing to me. Hey I guess it's unigue?? How many other Lajoie Hindu's have the trifecta of stamping, writing and paper loss! :D

These don't compare to some of the cards you guys are throwing down, but I was super excited to add them to my 1948 Bowman set.

Can see the rest of the set here:

Dean, great looking Lajoie! I know it has a few back issues, but who cares, that front/back is astounding...along with a great looking front! Congrats :eek:

Thanks Mike. The card actually presents a little better in hand. My first Hindu. I'm afraid I'm catching the T206 back disease. :)

Torriente

Very nice Brian!

Heck of a card Kenny. Good job

Thank you.

Thank you, James.

.

Incredible card, Kenny.

Thanks Jason.

Nice pickups Everyone!

Picked up these 7 T206s with a splash of colors on the backs at a card show today. (Fiene & O'Leary are reversed in back scan)

T216
 

The Sweeney is the new one.

Nice pickup Ed!
 

Nice pickup Ed on the Sweeney. Presents beautifully!

Patrick

Thanks, Patrick. I don't think the heart-shaped punch-hole is too bad at all. I think I am starting to have the coolest set of T216 beaters going. What is it about this set, I love 'em?

.

Nice cards, brothers...
 

1916 Zeenut of Frank "Spike" Larsen. Played for the LA Angels in 1915 & 1916. AB 42 H 4 HR 1 BA .095 for his career, but he did make it on to a baseball card from a difficult set...I still have a ways to go toward this set...

Nice one Brian

Love the layout Ed

Thank you, Tony.

Tony,

Thanks, now I have to find a blank backed. I wonder if there is an auction somewhere with one in it......?

Brian,

Love that Weaver. His cards are so hard to get, he drives me crazy as a PCL nut. I have his Obak, but need (and I mean need) two more types (again, I wonder if there might be an auction or two). And speaking of being a PCL nut,

Nice pick up RC!

Thank you, Ed.

Picked up this wire photo of Zach Wheat, Babe Hamberger and Dazzy Vance. Oops put in wrong section.

Picked up these Shaughnessys for my newest player collection.

Shagadelic, man.

:eek::eek::eek: Totally jealous great pick up Brian.

Josh,

I didn't mean to incite jealousy, but I thank you for the compliment.

Nice..........
 

Greg,
Super registration on your Zack Wheat T206. It's generally blurry and out of focus. Great looking card!

Thanks Tim.

I get jealous on here daily Brian :D

last one

Let's just say this year's Pirate celebration was better than the first one I attended:

Three HOF beaters. I do really like the Evers.

Saw that Evers, almost pulled the trigger. Great card

Thanks to fellow board member Kevin for this little gem. Absolutely love this.
