Very excited to have snagged this in the Brockelman auction to add to my pre-war Memphis collection! Gives me at least one example from the 4 different card sets Memphis players were featured in (T206, T210, T211, T213)

The Sporting News Supplement is probably the more accessible early Wallace. He has two earlier issues - A card/photo from the 1898-99 National Copper Plate Company portfolio series and a pin from the 1898 Cameo Pepsin Gum set - but those are a lot more difficult to find. From the early pieces of Wallace, there is also the 1902 W600 and the 1903 Breisch Williams....but those are also impossible to find. Probably the most accessible of the early issue is the 1906 Fan Craze.

The road goes ever, on and on ...
 

These from various points over the last couple of months - finally scanned.

Four steps closer to the goal ... still a long ways to go.

Two Napoleons ...

Thanks Luke!

Congrats Paul! Great price on an absolutely rare card. I would have gone higher if I didn’t have one already. That was a steal IMO. Nice pick-up!

Bescher eggs pu from among thousands listed by gm

The amazing thing is that I think most of us totally understood this post! Anyone not on the board would think it was some kind of code.

Congrats Jamie

Great pictures. Especially love the Gehrig

So true!

Very happy with this 1952 Topps Jackie add…

I think I have deciphered it...the FDA has listed thousands of Tango Eggs to be pu (pulled) from the gm (general market) due to possible Bescher contamination.


Brian

Bot not possible Jennings contamination? :)

Val, Jennings contamination would cause EE-YAH syndrome, which causes both arms to involuntarily shoot skyward while simultaneously one bent leg is thrust upward. So far there are no reports of these symptoms, but the FDA is looking into that as well.

Brian

Brian, it appears that I have a bad case of EE-YAH Syndrome! :D

Always a Good Friday night in card land when we can see Val's awesome backrun, syndrome or no.

4 4s from 4 board members.

I'm all for four really great 4s...great cards!

well that didnt post as expected - thought it would post under the Fritz card several posts above here - delete if necessary :confused: (didnt see an option that i could delete myself)

dont know how much interest there is, but a quick newspaper search shows that a player named Fritz did play for Kansas City in 1912. The Kansas City Star March 7 1912 states 'Fritz, the Southern League southpaw...' The Kansas City Star March 29 1912 has a spring training boxscore between Waco and Kansas City with Fritz pitching. A really interesting article from The Kansas City Star April 17 1912 about 'roomies' names mentioned are Fritz, Andy Oyler, Johnny Corridon and Nick Maddox (per baseball reference Maddox was with KC in 1912, Corridon and Oyler were not) records printed in The Kansas City Star August 21 1912 has Fritz with 1G, 0W, 1L, 4R, 3H 2.2IP no longer with the team

Fritz is my card, so I liked to reply ----- Thank you and Well done !!!

I love any history that can add to a card. Player's history (no matter how famous or forgotten they are) is a major reason I (and I'm sure others) enjoy this hobby so much ...... :)

Since it was a Spring training game, Fritz must have been on KC roster (with Buck Barker noting that). He ultimately played for New Orleans in the 1912 season. One would have to assume (:o) he was traded to NO by season's opening.

Oh, and to keep with Pick Up thread ..... Many thanks to Luke for making this "classic pose" T207 Cycle available ..... No. 43/51 BL series ..... ;)

Picked up a low grade M116 Mathewson yesterday!

Love it Nate!

Thanks, Leon. Even brighter in hand which is almost hard to believe.

I’ve always enjoyed this card. Nice pickup!

Might have shown this, not sure, but love the colors. It went from the sell-pile to the collection-pile.

I like the colors also although the angle of the drawing makes the glove look really big .:D

Pete's run of them is fantastic.

here's a Collins without the usual miscut top corner(s)..

That's why it's referred to as the dots miller BIG GLOVE!!!!!! It IS a great pose!!!!! nice Leon...and thank you!

The Brockelman auction allowed me to finally finish my T210-3 Houston set. Burch is tough because he also comes in Orange, which I guess means that there are fewer (than normal) red copies and somewht higher demand due to people who collect the orange subset (in both red and orange).

I really enjoyed looking through the T210 results in that auction. I'm not expert on the set, but it's clear from the prices that there were some that are awfully hard to find.

Was content to display this raw, but is ebayer is selling copies of the postcard. If I ever let it go, had to be authenicated.

Jazzed with the '26 Lefty O'Doul, though pencil writing on back dropped the grade. 1934 photo has some big PCL players and autographs!

The team dates back to the 1880s and the birthdates of the Stones.....close enough to Pre-WWII.

Love that card leon+

Nice Chris. Large Ass Chase....not a bad back either....

The 314s

Is that the last one you needed?

Leon I didn’t notice that! Too funny.

Greg, this is a duplicate :)

I have the known T206/T213s (29) but there is a T214 Victory out there. If anyone has a spare please take advantage of me !
