Easterly
 

Hey Patrick,

Easterly is in the tougher half of the 155 Recruits - he's probably somewhere around the middle of that group.

Thanks Mike for the response!


Patrick

Patrick - good to see you again. I was kind of surprised you didn't go after my 1909 Pittsburg catcher cabinet photos. I have a catcher display I'm working on that's going to make you drool.

Sheboygan Postcard
 

recent pick-up:

Just got this in off ebay.

Out of curiosity, does anyone know if the B&W versions and sepia versions are on a different card stock? This seems to be a B&W version, and it also seems that the paper stock is a bit thinner/more flimsy than the others I have. When held horizontally, there is a noticeable sag where my others are rigid. All of my other W554 are the sepia version.

Thanks,
DJ

Set of HW Woodcuts
 

I won an auction for six Harper's Weekly woodcuts which showed up today. A nice little haul!

Six T206s back from SGC
 

This brings me to 187...

From whimper to whimper
 

I posted the first pickup of the year, which I identified as bringing in the new year with a whimper. I wanted to be the last post of the year, to end
the pickup festivities with a suitable tragic note. But due to time constraints I must post now. Thanks to Marc for the winsome Walsh, which when held aloft you can actually see light through the card in three places. I have included the Harmon that I also received from Marc so that all can see decent cards can be had from him as well. Happy Old Year!
