Not sure why, but this card(Bergen Batting) has been a "toughie" for me.

For type collection

No clue what these are but I liked them. dated 1881

Chris, nice Victorian era trade cards. The sports themed ones are always fun to find.

Tobins! Very nice :)

I was bidding on that card - haha. Nice pickup.

Jackie Robinson
 

Really excited to add this one to my autograph collection...

A special thanks to Jim Stinson for the great deal & pulling out all the stops to get it to me today!!!

Picked this one up last night just waiting for it to arrive in the mail. Have a couple other raw copies of this card (he is a distant relative) but this is the first graded one.

It went out today.. ;) ( I sold it to you) :) Enjoy!

"Big Thanks to Mr. Tony Arnold!"

Added this Semi~Tuff Walsh to my E90-1 set(in progress!) and as a bonus, he doubles as to my Walsh Collection... Saweet : )

Mark,

Nice D322 Dreyfuss pickup. I battled it out with you a bit trying to complete my set, but I knew the hof collectors would prevail.

Next time perhaps.

Rob

Fathers Day present from my wife and son. Not Pre WWII, but still Tinker and Evers.

Rich

Added a couple more postcards to my collection...

Recently scanned cards.

"Unusual" Pickup
 

Finally added a 150 Subjects 1910 Obak to my PCL catcher collection.

It also is my first "Unusual" slogan back example.


Patrick

Picked up this beauty, and couldn't resist the temptation to disfigure it (electronically, of course).

:D

I love the Devilin...and the Donlin!

Thanks Rob. I've been looking for a low-graded example since he was elected. Good luck sir.

Love the Donlin!

Great Donlin pc Jeff.

A couple 1914 B-18's
 

Picked up a few B18's. I am well on my way to the basic set of 91 as I have 45 now.

Thank You, Jamey. I am happy to pickup the Bressler, but I am particularly happy to pickup a postcard of "Greenfield Jimmy":

My first Wamby. Didn't realize how thin the paper stock is on E220s. Trimmed and well loved.

This is what makes Network 54 great ...
 

I’m posting this in both the June Pick-Ups thread, and the Positive Experiences on net 54 thread, because it applies to both.

Apparently, back on July 23, 2008, I sent an email to Sean (milkit1) asking a question about the back of several cards he had listed on the B/S/T section. He replied less an ten minutes later that none of the cards had the stamp on the back I was looking for.

Fast forward three years, ten months and 26 days, I get another reply on the same email from Sean, saying he had found a card with Howe’s stamp on it if I was still interested. Two days later, #207 in the rebuilt collection arrives in my office.

<a href="http://s150.photobucket.com/albums/s81/T206ster/?action=view&amp;current=207Bradley.gif" target="_blank"><img src="http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s81/T206ster/207Bradley.gif" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>

I think, or hope, that this is what Network 54 is all about. It’s a bunch of adults who all admire little pieces of cardboard with men in short pants and spiked shoes pictured. It shouldn’t be about “how much is this worth?” or “someone told me this, but now someone else says ...”. Its about passion, and sometimes, you find someone who shares your passion, or at least someone who helps you with a fix when your habit needs it.

That said, I’d like to thank Chuck, Frank, Art, Paul S., Martin, Judson, Barry, Cy, Danny, Mark, Brian W., Coach Jeff, Jim M., Tom, Matt, Tony S., James M., Darren, Jim S., Leon, Mike, Andy, Joe D., Mac, Joey, Bob, Quan, Andy, Paul M., Gary, Pete, Thomas S., Greg, Patrick, Frank A., Mike H., Dr. Ed, Brendan, John S., Peter F, Turner, Sean, Trae, Josh, Joe, Erick, Al, Daniel, Matt, Dave, Bobby, Mark, Iggy, Jim R., Pete Z., Tim, Darrin, Dave, David, Jeff and anyone else I’ve accidentally left off the list of Network 54 board members who have sold me cards or pointed me in the direction of cards. Thanks to you all. You’re all what makes the board the positive place that it is.

hi ed!
glad to help. love those unique collections, like marks signed 1934 goudey set, and pauls signed t206s. I'm going to use this opportunity to plug my signed 1933 goudey set. I currently have about 178 different. many of which came from the help of fellow board members :)

Picked this 1932 Sanella Type 1 up of The Babe....along with the other 111 cards in the set.....

+1

Net 54 is a lot of the reason I have so many signed T206s

Thanks everybody!!

I'm jealous of your collection. :)

Even before I joined this site, I used to follow your website (I think). Didn't you used to own some high-end T206's (Plank) and switched to signed T206's?

Thanks Brian!
 

Picked up this gem recently. Always wanted the Johnson portrait, it has to be one of the best in the set.

Great stuff everyone !! From the B/S/T, thanks Ed W.- always a pleasure to deal with you.

Cool story Ed. Well done Sean!

I picked this up from buythatcard on Ebay last night. Can't wait to get it in hand. It's one of the cleanest, sharpest ones I have seen.

http://i1049.photobucket.com/albums/...hof/Rousch.jpg

I'm thinking of having it graded. Does anyone understand the grading standards for why some strip cards get a numerical grade and some get an authentic? Or is it an impossible algorithm?

June Pick up
 

Thanks Rob !

that maul is a beauty!!!!

Joe - nice N175, my favorite card in that auction.

Thanks
 

Thanks Peter ! I have seen many Mauls in higher grade but with less clarity, focus, etc. - I finally found a good replacement for this one that has been in my collection for awhile.

Nice E90-1 Walsh, Denny. Having labored years ago to put this set together I know how extremely tough it is to find a Walsh. Congrats!

Last REA
 

Just back from SGC

That is one beautiful piece!

Very cool postcard, Bob. Nice pickup.


Regards,

Richard.

I'm new to the forums. Picked these up tonight. Rebel Oakes is an alumni of my Alma Mater (Louisiana Tech)

The colors on the E90 look great. Can't wait to get it in person.

Just got this in the mail yesterday, a real beater (the raw one, PSA slab now) to finally be with his long lost brother :D

Thanks Frank!

Nice pick ups everyone. Also picked up a few E95/96 1913 Notebook covers.

A few new pickups..

Nice card Jeff.

Andrew

Nice card. Love the set.

Thank you, not that easy to find either. I could not imagine trying to put the set together.

please excuse the glare from the stupid PSA mylar.... ;)

Awesome card Jeff. I believe I've seen you post a few others of this pose lately. How many backs of this pose do you have?

Great looking Matty, Chuck.

Daryl, here are some of the rarer backs of this pose I have:

Thanks very much, Mike. :)

Nice one Greg, those are addicting.

Matt, you in movie or TV biz? My son, two years out of film school, in LA now in the "industry."

Yes Greg, I'm three years out of school. I do Sound Design for film and tv. I prefer film, there's more time to get it right.

Two Red Sox makes it 282
 

Two more in the quest of all forties...

1909 William "Hap" Hogan Obak
 

Really happy to add this one to my PCL catcher collection.

Thanks again Mark Macrae!


Patrick

Is 1947 pre or post war? Technically, the war was over, but I've always considered post-war to start with the 1948 Leaf & Bowman sets.
Attachment 67178

Just got this one today:

http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h8...3Gehrig160.png

That leaves only one card to go to finish my '33 Goudey HOFer run.

Yeah right.......in other words.....I think I'm finished with the set ;)

T206 Hindu Kiernan
 

Just can't resist these!

Great Hogan Patrick.

Thanks Adam.

Very faint ghost T213 kind of neat....IMO.

Cheers,

John

This came in yesterday

http://i317.photobucket.com/albums/m...tsExchange.jpg

Nice ghost John, first I have seen on a coupon!

Two upgrades and two fun pickups from KyleTexas. One of the best BST experiences I have had, looking forward to the next interaction. :D

http://i.imgur.com/WuruK.jpg

Interesting... That red Hindu on the far right looks like one of those tear sheets on telephone poles. "If you need a math tutor call 310-555-1212", etc.

http://i1023.photobucket.com/albums/...p5ZSLJjI5h.jpghttp://i1023.photobucket.com/albums/...ller/WuruK.jpg

Red Hindu
 

Sweet Red Hindu's, I would like to own one at some point. I thought that Kyle got unfairly maligned albeit he probably did overreact so maybe you scored a softer price as a result of the perceived/real misgivings surrounding his hindu offerings

Yeah it's shredded, barely hanging together. :)

These were picked up prior to the heated posts, lots of calls, emails and research of past auctions for prices. It was fun seeing that many Hindus hidden away and learning about his grandfathers collection. Not a single concern, cards fedexed overnight, very happy.

My very scientific analysis of the Engle ghost, me thinks Willetts is the card to the left.

http://i.imgur.com/QRTLd.jpg

Chris, great Hindus! Jason funny it does look like the phone poll or dorm hall flyers.

Dang Chris I think you're right does look like Willetts bat good catch.

Cheers,

John

Great detective work Chris. Amazing you found that match.

I'm new here (already bought from a few of you). First of all thanks.

Have an opportunity for a June pickup. Have a lead on a PSA 2.5 Mathewson portrait Sweet Cap 150 (can't make out factory #)

Qualifiers: not a NY collector. But, if it's a deal, I'll make it. Any thought on price?

To make this more relevant, received a lot of 4 raw from marcdelpercio, a graded Doolan from npa589, and working out an exciting deal with bbcard1. Thanks to all.

Just picked up this card tonight. First time I've caught The Train.
