Nice cards, everyone -- thanks for sharing.

I'm happy to have picked this one up...I haven't seen another blue back example yet.

Close enough to pre-war....
 

Schwartwood
 

Craig look likes Schwartwood may have some radiation in his pocket...be careful...Steve, nice Jacklitsch...can't remember if I have seen a blue back or not...my checklist doesn't list the one I had as blue...Jerry

Steve, that blue definitely pops more than in the original listing. Glad to see you were able to get it.

DJ

As always, Joe you are a wealth of knowledge. This is my 2nd pose for him.

QUOTE=Joe_G.;1972215]Nice card Craig . . . most Des Moines OJs are 1889 (Fc) with the 1888s being pretty special. Most 1888s are the very tough Fb style, Swartwood being the only Des Moines player as type Fa (nice misspelling to boot). The fact that it is a team update may be responsible for format difference from the other 1888 Des Moines cards.[/QUOTE]

A few T206 lots converged on Friday
 

Includes a November Crossover lot from PSA, so the wheels are indeed turning there, if very slowly...

A big one off the list!

a beauty jeff!

Congrats, great card!

Great card, Jeff, congratulations on landing that one.

Mazel Jeff! Thanks a F-ing beast of a pickup (and a solid price). You are part of a very small club with that sucker.

That’s awesome Brian. I have never seen that back (not that I follow those 1920-22 cards too close). What other players come with that back?

Fun pick up via trade with a fellow board member.

Thank you, Ryan. Awesome pickups by you!

Well, at least Adams, Barber, Lyle Bigbee, Cobb, DeVormer, Falk, Flack, Gaston, Gharrity, Glazner, Griffith, Hollocher, Martin, Oeschger, Pratt, Rawlings, Rogers, Ruel, Scott and Elmer Smith. Those are the other twenty that were in REA beyond the Ward I won. I also previously had a Walker.

Great cards everyone! I struck out on a few of the bigger items I was stalking in Heritage and REA, but managed to pick up a needed Bresnahan CJ last night, and have added a few other needed Cubs this month, as well as a Glasscock OJ from a board member.

E93 Cobb
 

Love the color on this one!

Postcard from Cobb to a fan that wrote to him regarding the scandal he was named in with Tris Speaker and Dutch Leonard.

Three obvious flaws, but I liked Hoffman's belt:

1st April Pick Up (of 3 pick ups)

12 of the 26 T206 cards I've picked up this month, this is the most T206 I've ever bought in a month?

2nd April Pick Up

................. 460 EPGDs can be FUN .............. :)

Speaking of which, Fun, fun, Scott :rolleyes:

Newest Des Moines ticket I picked up. May 11, 1954.

THAT is pretty cool.

He must have been getting a lot of letters in regards to the scandal to have created a "form" response.

Doug

Steve,

Real nice pickup on the Blue backed Croft's.

Like DJ said, the blue really stands out on that scan of the card as opposed to the original listing.

Thanks, guys. I agree, I got lucky with the eye appeal on this one. I needed the card for one of my many unfinished projects, so the condition is a bonus...:)

Thanks Doug. I would agree that he he got a lot of letters and created this card in response. First time I have seen a card like this.

Thanks to Luke for these big bordered beauties!

Currently looking for a new T206 Cobb and a low grade N28 or N172, but even if I snag them, the T207 Grover Hartley Anonymous back will be my big pickup this month, and on of the biggest pickups I'll have this year.

Grover Hartley was the manager of the Findlay Oilers (Ohio State League - minors) in 1939 & 1940. My great uncle played for the Oilers in 1939, and my grandpa played for them in 1940. I have my grandpa's original team photo (with Hartley in it), contract, and last ball he pitched (1940). My goal is to put those items in a display with all of Hartley's cards (according to Trading Card Database, I'm only missing his 1916 Boston Store, Weil Baking Co., and Standard Biscuit). The Anonymous back T207 completed his trio of T207s. Thrilled to have these together!

I have also had quite the month when it comes to knocking out some of my Hall of Fame project.

I created a separate thread about picking this card up here - http://https://net54baseball.com/sho...d.php?t=282292


But thought I would share the picture here in the pick up thread anyway.

Just got my 1st Babe Ruth item. The M114 portrait.

Some well-loved 1923 V100 Willard's Chocolates HoFers for the HoF project. Thanks Derek!

You’re welcome! Can’t wait to see how your HOF collection looks once complete (or near complete). I’m still sorta working on mine after 20+ years!

This spoke to me

I'm sure that card peaks to a lot of people! I'm no longer into cards that much and this one speaks to me too.

Nice pickup

First card I've bought in years. I like this pose and Polar Bear is my favorite T206 back...

Impulse buy. Surprised the bid held up, but a fun addition for a playing era Babe that didn't set me back a house payment. Or even a car payment.

Red Cross Cobb
 

Nice one Jay...Jerry

Got this one in the other day:

Nice Shonen Ruth, definitely a great way to get an attractive playing days Ruth for a cheaper price!

Nice Cobb/Jennings!

Great card.

Starting on re-collecting some good old Joe Jackson Cards

This is my first and will look for others in the future

Upgraded my Hank Gowdy T207
 

Excited to upgrade my Gowdy T207. It's one of the tougher Recruit back T207s. Have one from each of the two Recruit factories now.

Patrick

Thanks!
