Congrats, I was at Memory Lane booth in April I think when you got the call to know this was up for grabs, if I remember correctly. Congrats wonderful card. Huge addition!

Monster addition Pete

Congrats

Also picked up Phila A's with Mack at center, another scarce M101-2 team card, joining Cubs and Tigers. Very tough to find and in this condition. Double-sized, hence the fold.

Nice pick-ups Phil!

Something a little different than my normal.

Very cool DJ.

Cool cabinet cards. The one on the left is identified as Pat Donovan. There was a Patsy Donovan who played for 21 years in the majors and various leagues, starting in 1886, but not for Baltimore. Does this photo of a late 20's, early 30's Patsy, shown below on the far right during his time with the Pirates, resemble the younger looking fellow in the cabinet to anyone else? Or am I just pushing the photo identification a little too far?

Brian, I'm the last person to comment on photo identification, however, when I was looking at these I also found a composite that uses headshots from these that was sold by REA back in 2011 (https://bid.robertedwardauctions.com...e?itemid=19698). The composite itself identifies each player. REA further identifies that Donovan played for Pittsburgh. The thing to note here is that the California tour was not simply Baltimore vs others, but the Baltimore team consisted of a few players that were not from the Baltimore team and likewise some Baltimore players were absent.

Nice! That explains the San Francisco photography studio listed on back and why Patsy is in a Baltimore uniform. Great link to the REA auction, which has a very informative writeup that explains it all, and makes these cabinets you now have even more special.

May is my birth month so I needed something green

This arrived in yesterday's mail. It's in nice shape; the surface is fairly clean, the registration above average, and the color is vibrant.

I'm not as concerned with centering these days because bidding can get fiercely competitive for reasonably well-centered T206 cards. So, I didn't dismiss this out-of-hand when I saw it. Glad I gave the card a second look and decided to bid. I picked it up with an old-school, manually placed (no fancy software for me) last-second snipe.

I now have all four T206 John McGraw cards. Achievement unlocked. :)

EDITED TO ADD: the red background is not two-tone; that's the shadow/reflection of my phone

Ducky could use some dental work...

D310 Hogan
 

This cool D310 Pacific Coast Biscuit arrived this morning.

Picked up this Hogan D310 in the recent Robert Edward Auction.

Patrick

Reminds me of Bugs Bunny but looks like he is having fun

Newest Ruth arrived today.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...fd6eafa04e.jpg

And one more oversized M101-2 received yesterday for Joe Wood (and as usual harshly graded for this issue)--certainly one of best "cards" for Wood and best graded by PSA....
