Outside of my normal collecting style, but I have always wanted this card.

Real happy to win this on ebay last week, a complete C.1910 Play Ball Notebook with Hal Chase on the front cover and Frank Chance on the back. Never seen this one before!

love the notebook and joe d...its on my list too!!!!! WaJo is looking pretty goth there!

Currently my tip, top Tip-Top! Thanks to Kevin.

Pete, awesome card. I don't own that card, but I wanted to post it in the thread about cards that you recently noticed. I love how he jumps out of the border. Plus, I love the name Rebel Oakes. Sounds like a great band name.

My first Plank card !!

Doug, great card!!

Just picked these up courtesy of Scott Gross! Thanks Scott!

Beautiful Plank Doug!

A few pick-ups from a new friend.

Nice cards!

One heck of a new friend!!

Nice pick ups

Nice pickups. We have the same friend. ;)

I almost bought that Ruth.

+1 good gracious.

I very much appreciate the comment, guys. It's great to be part of a community where pick-ups small and large are appreciated. Let's just say my wife thinks they have "pretty colors," my non-hobby friends are more interested in Miguel Cabrera, and my parents think I'm investing in Enron c.2005.

I visited your friend as well...[ATTACH]Attachment 218623[/ATTACH]

Holy moly do those look good for the grade.

The SGC holder is the perfect compliment. That E93 Cobb is my favorite card in our Hobby and the centering is amazing...a Gem. Hope to pick one up.

Whomever that friend is I want a friend like that. I picked up a T206 last night...

Nice card. Lajoie is my favorite to collect. The bat is the one I still need from his t206s

Brett,

Thank you.

Brian Van Horn

Had an Uncle Marvin Van Horne who lived in Big Sandy Tennessee.

Been gone for many years now, unfortunately. Just a last name I don't see/hear very often.

Leon, that T206 Speaker you stole was one of my consignments @ Mile High. I know you will enjoy the card even more when you can gaze adoringly at it perched in your hand. Terrific color! Along with the Cobb greenie, Speaker T206s seem to be heating up; it always has been a terrific card. John

Thanks John.
Sorry to say (sort of) that I picked up one of your other consignments too, the E126 Meusel is coming back home soon.

Great looking speaker. I plan to add one to my PC this year.

Irv,

Thank you for the post. I do not know if I am any relation to Marvin. The interesting thing is that we, meaning my brothers and I, are nearly the only Van Horns we know. My grandparents divorced when my father was about three. He, my grandfather, remarried and had a daughter and son, but that's about it. My father kept the name Van Horn, but my grandmother remarried and, of course, changed her last name with the ceremony. Somewhere back in the history of the family the "e" was dropped from the end of the last name.

Van Horne
 

Van Horne is a huge name for Canadian baseball fans. Dave Van Horne, from Easton, Pennsylvania, called Montreal Expos games for 32 years. (He's now a Marlin) He was inducted into the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame in 2014.

I'll have to ask my Father, Brian. I know my Uncle Marvin was divorced but that's about all I know about that.
He remarried a woman named, Helen and also fought in the Korean war.

I don't believe he was originally from Big Sandy Tenn, but I could be wrong.

I'll let you know. :)

This was originally purchased a couple months ago but just arrived back from SGC yesterday. Part of my first ever submission.

Apparently tied for the highest graded by SGC.

Not an aesthetic beauty, but:

Gotta love that T3 Lennox. I'd be thrilled to have a baseball card made of me, especially a beauty Turkey Red --- But being shown forever missing a pitched ball by 2 or 3 feet, not so much !!!! :o

Rates up with this "unfortunate" boxing pose:

A T206 first for me - 3 different ways
 

Here is Chick Gandil that I just received. First member of the Black Sox. First T206 with name on top and bottom. First Factory 42 overstrike.

[QUOTE=mybuddyinc;1495734]:eek:

The Bambino
 

Awesome Babe! Huge eye appeal. Congrats!

Great looking Ruth! Congrats!

A couple new T206 for the old collection. That Lattimore seems hard to find with good centering.

That Baer card is wrong on a few levels....

[QUOTE=mybuddyinc;1495734]

I'm not sure if you're aware, but that Piedmont 350 Ganley is really rare. Nice pick up. There's been several threads about these elusive Piedmont 350s:

This was #1 on my list of cards to add and collecting goals for the year. Thanks to tony e107collector via the b/s/t.

Congrats on the purchase. Great centering on the Cobb. Beautiful card!

I hate using this word as it's far too overused in card descriptions, real estate listings, fashion shows, etc, but it seems very appropriate here: stunning. Great purchase.
