Got this at The National. Pretty sure it was the only one there.

Hartley is my Grandpa and Uncle's manager when they were in the minor leagues with the Findlay Oilers (St. Louis Browns farm system).

I had already posted, but it is still 2016 and a present (to myself) left under the tree is among my favorites for the year . . .

Graig Kreindler never ceases to impress. Deacon White, the best catcher of the 1870s, now joins Charlie Bennett, arguably the best catcher of the 1880s.


These are based on their 1886 Tomlinson Studio portraits. If and when a Sam Thompson or Lady Baldwin portrait surfaces, I will be knocking on Graig's door once again. I never thought I'd order a portrait, let alone two, but the quality surpasses all expectations. They are the perfect way to add a little color to an otherwise sepia world.

Love it Graig, Merry Christmas All!

Yeah, I gotta say, those are really nice!

This is always a great thread topic at the end of every year to skim through.

Nice stuff everyone. This by far was mine.

Tony, that would be my favorite pick up of forever, if it was me. Beautiful.

Jobu 12-30-2016 09:54 AM
+1 - My jaw dropped earlier this year when I saw that - congrats! I am happy to see that it resides with a board member.

Congrats Steven...glad you found your N162 Glasscock! Edit to add: He should be a HOF'er in my opinion.

My favorite pick-up of 2016 was this ca. 1904-05 cabinet photo of the Tacoma Track Team, with Ernie Tanner. Honestly wish I had this image for the Claxton book, but purchased it shortly after publication. The earliest known team photo of the "greatest athlete ever produced in Washington state": http://www.blackpast.org/aaw/ernest-c-tanner-1889-1956

It has since been donated to the Shanaman Sports Museum in Tacoma.

Pre-war Favorite
 
Just arrived, and immediately my favorite pre-WWII pick up of 2016. An upgrade that I just had to have once I spied it.

Wow. Great card

My favorite pickup for 2016 came just 3 days ago. I sold/consigned almost all of my E105 collection to make sure he had a nice nursery to come home to. :)

Great for you Daryl! Better than any card ever made. And just in time to be a tax deduction for this year to boot! :D

It doesn't get any better than that. Congrats Daryl. And I empathize about selling cards for a kiddo....totally worth it though.

Congrats Daryl!

I had a great collecting year - my second full year into prewar collecting. I learned a lot and picked up some cards that I'm really happy with. It was tough to pick one favorite, but I think it has to be this:

Great cards (and baby-- congrats!) all.

I was able cross several cards off my want list this year. It's close, but I think this one was my favorite.

Lots of amazing stuff in here! I couldn't pick just one, so I am cheating.

I think that's my favorite card I didn't pick up. Love that card, and haven't seen more than one in the five years I've collected.

You're looking in the wrong places my friend :). There are about 3-5 signed '34 Greenbergs that sell every year. Or close to that.

Wish my Greenberg was as nice, that example is stunning.

itjclarke 01-03-2017 09:09 PM
Thanks guys, I finally got to dropping it off in my safe deposit box today, but I may need to break him back out sooner than later.

Sam-- as Brent says, there are a handful these and they seem to come available time to time. I think I've only seen 1 or 2 on eBay over the past few years, with the most recent I remember lasting only a few minutes before being purchased as a BIN. I've seen a few more via AHs, which is where I got this one. Happy hunting.
