Interesting and strange are definitely two words that came to mind when I purchased it.

Thank You, Pete:

It's too bad not ALL 1912 Zeenuts look like these...

Wow, Rhett! Nice Zees.

Incredible Condition
 

Rhett,

WOW is right.

You would be hard pressed to find any nicer condition Zeenuts.

Congrats!


Patrick

Wow those Zeenuts are off the charts, congrats!!

Very nice, Rhett! Great poses on each card.

I love these M 101-2's

I'll join the chorus - those 1912 Zeenuts are incredible.

Nice Brown Jeff.

Great cards Trae.

Thanks, Tony! I always enjoy seeing your pickups too, considering we have such similar taste in T206.

recent pick-ups...

Bresnahan
 

Jeff - That picture of Bresnahan is awesome - I love the pictures of the catchers with the old protective equipment. Always wished the T206 set had a card of Bresnahan with the catching gear (not just the portrait and batting).

Nice Pickup, Jeff!! That's a rich man's Sepia PC796 ;)

First Post
 

Hello all, new to the forum. Started collecting again a couple years ago after I randomly picked up a pack of 2009 Topps Heritage at a Target to share with my kids. I used to collect when I was a kid, have reclaimed many of those cards and then some.

My two recent pickups:

Another Favorite
 

This isn't recent, but it's one of my favorites. 1937 Wheaties panel signed by DiMaggio.

Nice pick ups on Ruth and Foxxxxxxxxxx.

Sweet, Tony! Awesome that the staining didn't affect any of the Donovan portrait, aside from the border. It reminds me of your awesome EPDG Bender portrait.

my first Joss (From LI National)

large LA find?
 

Does anyone know what causes the purple discoloration on this card? Was there are find with several cards like this? I have some just like it.

Looks like Pepto Bismol bath to me!

Maybe blue fountain pen ink that someone has tried to get out? Just a thought. Perhaps the original owner was using as a blotter and then some collector got the card and soaked it in something to try and get rid of the ink. The rest of the card looks so worn that I have to think it's been soaked a bunch.

I have a t213 beater that looks exactly like that, with slightly bluish toning. Maybe a factory mishap?

wow, d303 is a nice 2

T202 Wheat Signed
 

Bought this on ebay many years ago. Sold it in a Mastro auction after I acquired a dupe. Just bought it back this month because I traded my dupe a couple of years ago. Very happy to welcome it back into the (triple) fold....

Happy to find this.

Cool Red Sox card, Michael. Love the image.

I'm a Yankee fan Michael, but that is really cool.

Finally!

Thank you to a fellow Net54 member for this.

Awesome Mike!!!!

This aquisition actually started in August
 

Lot of eight PSA graded cards with front scans only. I could see that two of the cards had the MK qualifier, but no mention of what earned the card the MK. After several emails to the seller, found that one of the cards did have Howe's stamp, as did five other cards he found in his collection rather quickly.

Then two weeks later, he emails me to say he found three more....

The final card comes from a Kevin Savage auction. Kevin was kind enough to email me and let me know this one was up for bids, and I was able to get it.

These 10 bring the total in the rebuilt collection up to 195. Never imagined when I started four and a half years ago I would ever find half this many.

ED, Nice pick-up's 10 in one month.. AWESOME:D

Go Ed!! That's great!

Nice find Ed.

Love the Boston pc as well.

T206 Dahlen Brooklyn
