Mr. Wagner wishes to say hello. He asks that you take a gander at his popeye like arms and reconsider your position.

This glass plate negative is part of the collection and will NOT be available for sale.

Just jealous Brian lol

Lol.

I look at those photos and think how much my high school baseball coach would have yelled if I choked that high on a bat at the plate. Times sure do change.

If I put up stats like Wagner I guess I might have got a pass. :D

Latest addition..
 

Will most likely never afford the "Chicago on shirt - Hands on Knees" Tinker - but one with the faded "Chicago" will do (usually found on Sweet Cap. 150's from what I've seen.)

There's no such thing as a "Chicago on shirt- Hands on Knees" Tinker variation...I think you're thinking of the Mordecai Brown version.

I believe there is a variation with "Chicago" erased, and some of "Chicago" is visible.

Sorry for the confusion, Nast Nati. I meant the printing error/freak that has both "Cubs" and the partial "Chicago" on his shirt:

Two Good Ol' Pals
 

Really nice Ruth / Gehrig.
Babe Ruth - Sociedade Industrial
Lou Gehrig - Sociedade Industrial

Awesome card Shawn!! :eek::eek::eek:

Great card. There can't be too many issues that feature both Ruth and Gehrig.

Wow interesting, I forgot about that freak.

ruth/gehrig
 

That is very impressive sir. Have not seen one of those, but now that I have, I may have to be on the look out

Very cool!

Couple of my Favorites.

Picked up lots of baseball cards this month, but my favorite acquisitions were these 2 N36's. Iron Bull was an especially interesting character.

I think I am about to hurl. The thought or smell of Whitecastle sliders give me that post drinking hangover feeling. I remember one time when my wife was in the hospital in St. Louis I picked some up to cheer her up and about gagged from the greasy smell of "Sliders". We still laugh abour it but to this day, no sliders for me.

More progress close to 50% completion.

FINALLY got a Leach portrait spent a bit on it but I love it.

FINALLY got my clutches on Mr. Titus :D

I love 20s-30s regionals, awesome pickup Leon! :eek: :):D

~Owen:)

Leon, do I correctly sense the start of another type-card collection? :D
Val

You know what they say, Val? Once a type collector always a type collector.

Amen to that!!!
Val

Love that Foxx card.

Thank you, John.

Today's acquisitions.

These four put me at the half way point in completing my T206 Cardinals & Browns Team sets!

Steve O'Neill B18 (Yellow Pennants)
 

Glad to finally replace this item after trading away this color variation about 5 years ago. One of the tougher B18s to find in nice condition.

Patrick

Can I ask what the first name is at the top of the photo? Is it KASEL or KADEL or something else? I only ask as my last name is KASEL, so it would be cool to know that maybe some relative at some point in history had a hand in it.

Thanks!

Hey Leon,

I like your Kroger Bread card - Not sure if I have seen any of the others that you mentioned although it seems I vaguely remember something about them (probably from an old post of yours)? :)

My question: Do the other three known have the "hole" in them (probably from where they were tied to a bag)?

Side Note:

My friends & I used to buy cigars and smoke them out front of Kroger when we were young - not sure why just something we did... :rolleyes: Cool card...

Why I love the BST
 

Thanks to Mark and Andy for the cards. They are great.

That MC T205 Joss is cool!

Socies
 

Here are a few more nice ones...
Earl Webb - Sociedade Industrial
Herb Pennock & Lee Meadows - Sociedade Industrial
Cardinal vs Robins - Sociedade Industrial

Hey Shawn
I don't own these anymore but they really tell a story and I think answer your question...

Just got this Matty, can't stop looking at it.

The McArdle I've had a while, but the Tennant (thanks Andy!) and the Mohler (Leon, I think you owned this at one time?) are from Sep. I hate my scanner at home, and the one at work, which is awesome, hasn't been working, so I have put off scanning for a bit. I couldn't wait anymore. These three cards show the difference in scanners, did I say I hate my one at home?

OT:

Couple of tough E103's, courtesy of B&L, plus a Red Sox Ramly (slowly working on the team)....

Nice, Scott. I was considering those E103s myself. Tough cards.

Beauty of a card. I can understand why you can't stop looking at it. ;)

Wow! Great Matty...congrats

Thanks, Dean and Mike. That little bit of crease in the lower right knocked it down to a two, which made it really affordable. I've been waiting for a while to find just this card, a little damage that doesn't really take away much of the aesthetics, but enough to keep the cost down! Happy to add it to my collection.

Newest pickup thanks to "Guttapercha" here on the boards.

Nice Decker. Pete!

WOW, great card. I've been wanting one that looks like that for some time. Nice grab.

Beautiful Lajoie, congrats

I won these three on eBay last weekend, and they arrived today. The eBay seller identified these and several other similar cards he had listed as "E121 blank back W575" cards - however, I am 99% certain they are W501-2 cards (Rhett, do you concur?).

I think they are W575-1 cards?

I do concur. They will be on thin stock (like regular W501's), grainy images (like regular W501's) and no "G-4-22" nor number at top. I think W501-2 is a much better description for the set than to lump them along with regular W575-1's.

That is a great Joss. That cards shows the other part of a Joss next to it. I remember finding this card at Balt National in 2010. When I went back to buy it it was gone:( Neat card. Please post a pic of the back for us

Here is the back. It is my first and only Joss. It's the kind of card I take to a show, not really looking to sell,to have in the case to start cool conversations.

Actually this isn't it. Neat to see another close to what the other one had though. I believe Goodwin may have auctioned it or had it in his case at the show. Super neat card though

another boomerang card from collection 1 that made it back to me....this one is scarce.

Picked up on B/S/T. Thanks Brian.

Nice Lord Scott one of my favorite sets !!!

Nice cards Scott I'm 1 card away from hitting the half mark myself ! I really like the St. Louis cards (Browns & Cards) in this set along with Cincinnati and the Boston cards.

Glad to pickup this Ted RC...

Nice card. That is only the second one that I have seen (I have one as well).

Rhett, thanks for your confirmation. Yes, these 3 cards are on thin stock like regular W501s (which I now refer to as W501-1s). A very interesting aspect of these 3 cards is that someone, presumably whomever owned them before the eBay seller, wrote a number in pencil in the upper-right-hand corner of each card. This is exactly where the printed card number appears on a W501-1 card, AND the penciled numbers on these 3 cards are the correct printed card numbers that appear on the W501-1 cards of these 3 players; so, apparently, a prior owner did make the connection between these cards and the numbered W501-1s.
Val

Stunning psa 4 [emoji33]...congrats and enjoy!

David,

My pleasure.

I don't love caramel popcorn very much, but I would have bought a ton of it in 1914.

First of all, great stuff guys!! Love the T206 pick ups, W501-2 pickups, centered '39 Teddy Ballgame....etc..

Mac Dice- I knew it was scarce and not sure how it didn't get thrown in with the catalog sale stuff. Glad to keep it.

This M116 ad cut/? did the boomerang back too...happy it did also.

My goal was to get to 150 by the end of the year. Beat it by a few months.

On to next goal of 200.....and maybe more? Or anyone wanna buy it? haha

Two Goudey upgrades. They might not look like much, but 8 years into working on the set, they are significant to me. :D:D:D

The Myer SGC 92 is the highest graded with only 5 SGC 84s. There have been only 6 PSA 8s graded. My set now stands at 187/240 SGC 88 or better.

The Moore SGC 84 is the highest graded with only 1 SGC 80 below it. There have only been 6 PSA 8s graded. It is off centered for sure, but it was the last card I needed to have my set all SGC 84 or better, except my SGC 82 Lajoie.:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

I figured you were a shoe-in for the 1933 Goudey Sport Kings Browning SGC 9! Did you not win that one?

My first OJ cabinet, and an SGC 40 to boot......
