Jerry, I am happy to pick up a couple from your e-bay, too. I just got the E95 Eddie Collins from your last group. Should look real nice with the Collins E104, don't you think? That photo I picked up has a very young Edd Roush in it. My, collecting is fun.

Jobu 03-10-2016 08:18 PM

Nice VE!

That is a massive amount, congrats. This Pinkerton related card came in today though I had shown it before.
Sharp rppc's seem to always look better in person.

This is my first pre-war pickup in a long time thanks to board member bort69 for selling it to me. This one has been on my want list since I was a kid.

Cool card Leon. Sorry if this is a stupid question, but is that Connie Mack's writing on the back?

Great card, but that would be a RPC and not a RPPC due to the blank back.

I am not a handwriting authenticity person and can't really tell. I certainly didn't expect it or think about it. His writing resembles this, as it's kind of fancy, but I seriously doubt it.

pokerplyr80 03-12-2016 06:02 PM

Cool card either way. If there was a way to confirm it was his it would make it that much more interesting. Do you recognize the name of the person who presented that card to whoever wrote that?

CJ 15s seem to be "red" hot now, as least PSAs, for some reason--any idea why? Just the usual couple guys trying to boost registry, bidding against each other for awhile, or something else, as CJ 14s fade a bit. http://www.net54baseball.com/attachm...1&d=1457842449

That's one thing I hate about Hunts, no back images. So I guess you asked for a back scan then??
For the price, its a nice addition for sure. Kinda reminds me seeing your Texas Tommy. Which I think I saw in a current or recent auction.

T207 subset progress
 
Thanks to board members, the wantlist thread, auction houses, and eBay - most of these are Feb, early March, or still coming in.

Progress finally picked up on a number of T207 subsets:

Bushelman (eBay) completes the Broadleaf subset for me [50/50] ... Lewis no-emblem is not realistic.
 
http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x...psc1d8hnto.jpg

Marquard (eBay) makes 10/13 HOFers with Napoleon back.
 
http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x...psvdwzpl6i.jpg

Adams (board-member) makes 42/50 Cycle
 
http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x...psim5onnz5.jpg

Higgins (LOTG) and Wood (board member/want-list) are 43 and 44 respectively of the 49 known Recruits with Anonymous back.
 

http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x...ps2kjcxrqp.jpg
 
http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x...pshappedpk.jpg

Ragan makes 46/50 Broadleaf class with any Anonymous back.
 
http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x...psyfzbmhfb.jpg

Other miscellaneous stuff....

Sweeney is one of the few known Broadleaf class blank-backed cards
 
http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x...psjunursvm.jpg

and last, but certainly not least, my favorite upgrade of the year for the graded set...
 
http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x...psxfo46xsz.jpg

Much more progress than I expected for the whole year. Though its just March, I'm pretty much done till next year, but that's OK. (unless someone has a Livingston 'Big C', Factory 606 they're looking to put in a good home... ;););)

A big thanks to everyone one of you that has made collecting T207 enjoyable once again.

Sam,

Thank you. I like your avatar. I also like high number Batter Ups because in a lot of cases stadiums are the backgrounds of the cards. Also, I like Gehringer because, as his nickname of the "Mechanical Man" indicates, he was just a wonderfully consistent player year in and year out.

Despite the trim, a beautiful card! I only wish the player pictured was not Cy Seymour misidentified as Home Run Baker.

I'd rather have the Cy Seymour price too

Nice pick up, Bryan! That's one of my favorite poses from any pre-war card. Hughie Jenning's expression is the very epitome of baseball joy. Nice Cobb CJ, too.

Please, no. Don't tempt the baseball Gods, not until after I add this one to my collection, anyway. :p

The Johnson port will always be in a class by itself, as far as I'm concerned. But I think the Lajoie port is my favorite in the entire set right now. Such a gorgeous card! That's a beautiful add to your collection. Congratulations!

Now, regarding scarcity, the Lafitte is deceptive, because his flips were both "Lafitte" and "La Fitte," So you have to look for both, unless there are really two in the series? I am pretty sure this was just a typo by the graders. The Dunn really does have low numbers graded. I'm not sure how many raw there are out there. I don't remember if I posted the Wagner when I got it a few months ago, but I figured it looked good with the rest, so why not, just in case.
