T206 print freaks are not something i normally go after, but i really liked this one. I may have paid little too much, but I love the Hickman in fire variation.

Got a few rarer commons marked off my list :D

A couple September pickups with another Two Name T210 added to my little subset. Maloney/Dale both from Dallas. One more makes an even dozen. Good times.

A few :):):):):):):) pick ups from Sterling

With a few Fun, Fun :rolleyes: combinations

Great, Scott

Just picked up this uncut sheet of cards from the 1949 San Francisco Seals Good will tour of Japan. Its very....colorful.

I did a little write up about it here http://baseballcardsinjapan.blogspot...francisco.html

Finally found the right one at the right price. One of the great things about net54 man. I was turned on to the card by a member (erik lewin) who knew i was on the hunt, and the guy selling it on ebay is a somewhat inactive member. But once i reached out to him and he saw I am a member, we did a fantastic off-ebay transaction. Just cant get this dang pic upright!!!

That's was the rare horizontal Cracker Jack Cobb!:D. You fixed the picture, now it looks much better. Congrats on picking up that beauty.

Love that Cobby! Damn nice looking 2

Got these in the mail today....

Beautiful Cobb Cracker Jack
 

Congrats on the beautiful Cobb Cracker Jack!


Patrick

In search of Mattys and good karma for my Giants. I'd been watching the T213 for months, but the combination of the 10% bonus bucks, Ebates, and a win vs the Cards made it impossible to resist any longer (the 4 beers at the game didn't hurt either :D).

Nice Matty T213 Ian

Wow! Beautiful card

Outstanding Matty's Ian!

Orlando - Congrats on the CJ Cobb. Spectacular card!!!!

So happy you snagged it! Once I just got mine I was on the lookout for you, wasn't expecting to see another so quickly! Great months for both of us. Here's my Fall haul:

Those are awesome man. And thanks again. Got so excited with Cobb that i forgot to post my other cards for the month!

And

Cobb

when i saw that centering...

That is a hell of a Cobb, Orlando!

Wow Orlando, I think you did a great job of picking cards that look particularly good for their technical grade. Those are the beautiful.

Thanks for the compliment. You have encapsulated my collecting mantra in that sentence. Low grade cards with great centering that present well-above grade is what I buy. And while i am thrilled with my cj cobb, Erik's looks like it just came out of a box !!!

Orlando, GREAT cards! I can't wait for your October encore!

Some really great pick-ups so far.

Very nice!

Wish I had of seen that one, but likely couldn't afford it anyways? :(

I love opening the mail...

..there must have been a document dump somewhere earlier this year because I've never been able to pair up so many of my cards with their original photos ;
...I just received the "Underwood & Underwood" 5 x 7 'Oral Hildebrand P.-Cleveland' which was used to create the 1933 Worch Cigar Premium "O. Hildebrand Cleveland A.L.". The Worch measures 3 1/2 x 5 1/2. I love the pose and the intense look on his face.

September pickups
 

Really happy to pick up these 4 over the weekend. Especially the Colgan's Tin Tops they have been hard to come by lately.

Great looking Cobby, and actually, all of them!! They are the exact type many of us try to acquire. They look fantastic but aren't technically high grade. Perfecto combination.

It never ceases to amaze me the condition some of these cards are in after all these years!

Some definitely loved their cards, even way back then.

I'm head over heels for centered T206 HOFers.

Been a busy September, FINALLY (2 years later) picked up a Matty. Now I'm only a Bresnahan, Grover Alexander and Dick Hoblitzell away from having a card to match everyone in my tobacco ad. Have Cobb, Mathewson, and Huggins.

I'd be head over heals for those as well! Very nice. Centering is fantastic!

Number 293 Rejoins the Others
 

Thanks to Bryan (Jobu) who spotted this one early on in the auction/BIN process and let me know about it. Couple of hours later, I think we may have a new board member and I've got another HoFer in the rebuilt collection. Thanks for the help, Bryan.

Finally landed a really tough common with this Big Bull Durham. Many thanks to Beck6 for striking a very fair deal with me.

What a coincidence! Another of Howe's cards right after the Speaker. NJ, do you know about Ed's McCormick collection? Seems like you have a card to trade him!

T213-2 and T216-1
 

I think they call this T216-1, it's on the thin paper and a t213-2 Baker...

Found these downunder with another half dozen cards of other sports from the N162 set.

I hope this Durham can make it's way to Ed's collection. Nice Howes guys!

Was pretty happy to add another Cobb.

Hmm... I now feel that Mr. Durham doesn't quite belong around these parts! I have reached out to Mr. McCollum and we are in discussion for the card. Thank you for the observations, everyone :]
NJ

Picked up this Jimmy Archer M116 Sporting Life. Still need a Russ Ford :)

Attachment 245939

I've wanted a nice looking copy of this card for a while.

Great card Gary, congratulations!!

I've always liked that set and especially that card.

Nice pickup!

Thanks!

M116 Wagner
 

Have always wanted a Wagner portrait. Never thought I'd actually own one. Thanks Richard!

M116 Crawford
 

Almost forgot...again, thanks Richard!

Growing up and attending local card shows there was always a dealer who sat up and brought along what looked like a higher grade 1953 Topps Mantle. I remember it being displayed in one of those 1 inch screw down holders and what a beautiful card it was. I'm happy to own a copy of the card I alway remember admiring as a kid. Thank you Andy for another smooth transaction :)

WOW!!! Congrats Dan, that's a beauty. Love Gary's DeLong Gehrig too.

This entire Sept thread has been amazing from the get go.

I picked up this trade card at the Valley Forge show yesterday. It's a stock card that printed the advertiser's information in the blank space between the bat and catcher's mask/bats. The card measures 4 3/8" X 7 3/8" and is printed on heavier stock. It was produced in 1886 by Ketterlinus Lithographers, one of Philadelphia's premier printers/lithographers of the late 19th/early 20th century. The baseball scene on this card was a stock depiction for Ketterlinus and is identified by the number 2217 beneath the ball.

Enjoy, Mike

'tis a beauty...great pickup

I'm getting better at buying the card and not the grade on these CJs. I'm really happy with this one.

............... I can quit anytime I want :)

Fun, fun, Scott :rolleyes:

C. 1930's George Burke / George Brace Original Black & White Hand Tinted Photo of Luke Appling (From the George Brace Estate)

cool!

Thanks Dave! Here are a couple of cards just back from PSA.

This piece is signed by Lou Boudreau, Larry Doby, and Bob Feller. Got it for a steal.

1934 Goudey Charlie Gehringer. Card looks better than the grade in my opinion.

Jim Thome lot, including my first ever 1/1 in my collection.

1927 W560 Waite Hoyt, with a strong grade might I add for a Hand Cut card.

And I will now go back into my hole of shame while posts of Cobbs, Ruths, etc. surround this post...

Photo Used For Card Firpo "Fred" Marberry
 

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

..Taken while with Detroit 1933-1935----a great time to be a Tiger...International News Photo,Inc..."Marberry" written in pencil on the back , can't find a date and the slug is gone , just a residual amber strip of flimsy..
..The 1934 Gold Medal Flour (Wheaties Cereal Premium R313A) has his name as " Marlurry " : M A R L U R R Y "..honest..

..

My first Zeenut with a coupon:

The Writing At The Bottom ?
 

..can you make out the writing at the bottom ? It looks like a name , followed by "Reading , Pa" ??

..

I wonder if that coupon was valid, or an April Fool's joke when they tried to use it...

Looks like the first word could be "Colliery"? Which is basically a coal mine and would make sense coming from PA.

I don't have the card in-hand yet. I'll post more details if I can make out the writing when I receive the card.

Finally a Pre-War pick-up...
 

Nice little pick-up...

It is or should be Collins-McCarthy the maker of Zeenuts...although that second word first letter looks like an H...

Appears to read Collins Hershey Reading, Pa. the site of one of one of Hershey's plants some time ago.

That's it! Thanks.

Great looking Gehringer. Much nicer than the number on the flip.

Thanks! It has a SMALL crease through the face area, but it's hardly noticeable, especially in a picture. It also has a small stain-type mark on the top, but again, hardly noticeable.

I have been taught to buy the card, not the grade. VERY happy with this, especially for the price.

Picked up something from the Cardinals Gas House Gang era.

The last 2 words appear to me to be "Candy Co." The "C" looks the same to me as the "C" in Collins. Perhaps it is "Collins Hershey Candy Co."
Val

Val, I think you may be right, I went with the Pa. theme and "read" Reading into it.

T207 - Double milestone pickup.
 

Haven't posted since spring, pretty much no activity... this was an accidental pickup that hit two milestones:

* 100th different T207 Napoleon back
* Completes the T207 Cincinnati front/back runs.

Not much to see, just a serendipitous pickup.

It says Collins-Hencke Candy Co. (part of the "Co." at the end is cut off so it looks funny)

They were the successors to Collins-McCarthy Candy Co.

Prior to any Zeenut cards it was actually the Getleson-Collins Co.

Some time prior to 1911 it had become the Collins-McCarthy Candy Co (I have a 1911 Zeenut w/ the C-McC back stamp and later was Collins-Hencke
