Haha! Just another reason why you should collect T206's

Interesting point you make - any other set with missing colors or crap registration, is considered....crap.

But yours is cool.

It's my first, so I'm no expert, either.

Scott, T206s that had those problems used to be considered crap too :D

I think that was a good buy.

Thank You, Collector's Collection, Thank You, Brian and Thank You, Carter:

Awesome card Jeff - glad it went to a deserving home!


and you as well, Bill - always enjoy seeing your tough T207's!

You had me going there. My jaw dropped when I saw your post. :eek:

Babe says hi.

Not the best OJ's I have, but I needed the Brouthers to get to 26 of 28 1887 Detroit team set. Still need Ganzel 179-2 493 catch at shoulder and Twitchell 468-2 490 Pitch at chest to complete this team set.

The Goodfellow card in middle from Jay. The Brouthers and Griffith from Legendary

Joe

Lets see that team set together! :)

Gorgeous Ruth Peter!

After a very long drought of not picking up any of these purple number backstamps, a board member picked one up for me at a card show and contacted me when he got back. He asked if I wanted it. Um, yes please.

My newest T206 Purple Number Backstamp.

Thanks a lot,

Hi Babe. Lookin good after all these years.

A couple new ones, including my first 1915 CJ (previous 3 were '14). It seems like not many action photos on prewar cards show the player smiling. Looks like Zach had fun when playing the game (and who wouldn't? :) ).

Picked up my 40th different Evers, these postcards look so much better in hand.
Images are really crisp and clear.

I'll follow that Evers with this one, thanks Jason!

Chris, this is a great run. I'll let you know if I come across an EPDG. -Sean:eek:

This just in
 

Thanks for the trade Michael!

Thanks Brian
 

These fit very nicely into my EPDG collection, even with the slight trim:p

Picked up this cool RPPC. The first pitch ever thrown out at Swayne Field. Toledo Mud Hens pitcher and 3 x 20 game winner Frank Owen throws out the first pitch to a Columbus batter.

I'm fairly confident somewhere in the infield is HOFer Joe McCarthy. He played 128 games for the Mud Hens in 1909.

Those are perfect Erick...

Picked up a Colgan's Chips Reulbach and a Fan Craze Reulbach to go with my Carl Horner Type 1 photo of him. I just need a T204 Ramly to complete it.

Exciting New Find by The PSA ID Verification Specs Guys
 

http://imagehost.vendio.com/a/204295...GOUDEY_NEW.JPG.................................................. .................................................. ............................................
I don't know how they found out that I so enjoy collecting all the variations and different types of a particular issue ; I think it's great that they went out of their way to create this one-of-one Fine Pen Type Three ( borderless )for me .
In their defense however , they spelled his name correctly . And the pile of vouchers grows yet higher...................

Jason

Cool assembly of Ruelbach(or Reulbach)

This is mine:)

I think these are from the big baseball collage in the Huggins and Scott Auction. This is my 3rd E104-3 Nadja Tom Jones. Same old story, doesn't even surprise me, and as the famous Tom Jones singer would say "It's Not Unusual".

Attachment 81324

You also need an E95, and since all those are cards except for the Horner photo, you need to sell me the photo to make your collection more 'pure'.

So far this month I have picked up:

Notebook covers of:
Honus Wagner
Christy Mathewson
Walter Johnson

M101-2 Walter Johnson/Gabby Street

Bushmaster M4 A3 .223/5.56 Rifle x 2
Ruger 10/22 Tactical Rifle
Smith & Wesson M&P .45 auto and 9mm (for the wife to carry) handguns

Extra clips for all my Semi-auto rifles and handguns
Thousands of rounds for all guns (Over 20)

Ah, yes, an excellent day to express our gun enthusiasm. Well done sir! Shall we arm only the teachers or the 5 year olds as well? Happy holidays!

New additions
 

Matt,

I'm with you on the pick ups !!

Mike, it was also in the "Dear Ann Landers" column this morning, signed "Tasteless in Kansas."

Texas did!!

Merry Christmas!!

Great cards..I really like the Blanke-Wennekers........I could sure use a type 3 with a Nadja back for a good price....if anyone knows where one is!!

Arming teachers! What a great idea! If only the rest of the country could make such an informed (not short sighted or insane) decision!

Merriest of Christmases, sir!

So this is the last post with this kind of nonsense in it. Whether anyone started it or not, it's done now. It is truly a sad time for America with the great tragedy in CT and we need to be respectful of the situation. There will be times in the future, and probably not on this board, for gun control debate. Please keep it to cards, guys. Anymore discussion about it in this thread, and mostly anywhere on the board, and it will be dealt with swiftly. I get tears in my eyes every time I see some of those parents on TV or in the media. Most of us are parents and I can't imagine the agony.

I should add that the subject is being talked about in the thread about the atrocity, and as long as it stays there and doesn't get out of hand, no worries. But the subject will not be allowed to spill over into other threads. Thanks for everyone's understanding.

Fair enough, Leon. As a parent of a Kindergartner very similar to all those kids, this entire incident hits wayyyyyyyyyyy to close to home and I've let my emotions get the better of me. Will be the last I mention it on these boards.

Thanks Mike...I mean seriously, I just now watched a news clip of 2 of the parents....tears were streaming down my face. I appreciate everyone's understanding and, as a parent, I do understand.

Not a big fan of the colorized "lipstick E95s". I just perfer the cards related to the photo itself. The photo is my prized part of my collection eventhough it is a photo.

Okay, I get it.

I just received my first Gehrig from his playing days.

Got my first pre-war card! Woooooot. I mentioned this in another post about T206 but this is one of my favorite poses in the set. Hat flipped up. Old style glove visible. Staring down the hitter.

Yup, you are now one of us

one of us

:D

Goodwin win arrived today

Not quite my Gregg's patina, but it's pretty impressive despite the chin

I've been wanting to pick up this regional issue for awhile now.
http://www.net54baseball.com/picture...pictureid=8619

Come on feel the sickness

Bryan, if you think the first card is fun, wait until you really get into the set. But you'll always remember that first one. My first was Chick Gandil. I hope you have as much fun collecting as I've had.

CJ 14 prices continue to surge but got great buy on this one.

Just picked up this cool 1940 San Francisco Seals stamp book. I know almost nothing about it. But the book has 17 out of the 25 stamps and even more amazing 23 out of 25 autographs.

Killer piece packs.

Seals Stamp Album
 

Packs:

That is awesome!

Kevin

Thanks guys. I'm trying to do some research on it. I'm not too familiar with PCL issues. But I just had to have it when I saw it.

Packs, that's a fabulous item.

Claude Berry T4 Cabinet
 

Received this wonderful present in the mail today from Greg Bussineau Sports Rarites Auction. Thanks for getting it to me before the holidays!

Wanted to also thank Old Cardboard Magazine, because they sent an email alert that the Greg Bussineau Auction was ending which alerted me to this item.

The fact that this T4 had eluded me in several previous auctions, where it had sold for much higher prices in previous Lew Lipset and Legendary auctions, makes this pickup even sweeter.

Happy Holidays,
(P.S. Note that the team name is in script on the T4 and block letters on the 1911 Obak.)

Patrick

nice T4! lucky it eluded you so long...as cost savings was significant!!!!

Great t4!!!

Love those t200s as well. Got this today, down to 9!

Hank O'Day, one of the new HOFers. Thanks, Jay!!! (Sorry for the bad pic - looks better in hand).

Got all these today from Ralph P. Thanks! Two crop marks, both Sullivan and a Gilbert sheet mark. Didn't know I was a fan of Gilbert & Sullivan until today! I feel more cultured already

...and the Wright Brothers. You have all sorts of cross-over likes.

Nice, Ken!

Another Bussineau auction addition
 

Attachment 81521

I can check off 1951 Topps Major League All Stars from my wantlist.

New addition.

Two more...
 

Thanks to Larry for the Brown Washington trade and to Clayton for the Bresnahan EPDG

Anytime E!!:D

I almost forgot
 

And thanks to Mike Healer for selling this one to me... just back from SGC:

Nice Erick, 3rd double name HOF?

You're welcome Erick, congrats on your other two pick ups :) I see you freed him :D

Sincerely, Clayton

RPPC-Undivided back. My new favorite - looks to be a suicide squeeze:

So much action...so much awesome.

Isn't that postcard from Nampa, Idaho, Scott? If so, that could well be the field on which the Weiser Kids, with Walter Johnson pitching, played.

Actually Five:
Cobb (Bat On), Eddie Collins, Evers (Portrait), Jennings (Both Hands), and Walsh. Add to that two different Chase and a Gandil, plus a handful or two of commons.

Couple E90-1 HOFers to start a HOF set off.

http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/...ps0e262f38.jpghttp://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/...ps6d1a8f4b.jpg

Looks to be the same place as this one. Mine is marked Nampa on the back in pencil.

just got these back from beckett today:

--kilo.

My first T213, and another Johnny Evers for my collection. Sweet Christmas gift from my wife!

Hank, Jason,

Yes, it's Nampa, Idaho.

Jason - that's cool. Apparently there was a photographer present with a steady hand. You don't see too many action shots from that era, this clear.

Just buy 4 lionel carter t206 cards. I choose principaly the howell and the nichols because these cards pass almost all his life with my Plank in the same page of mr Carter album.

My 4 purchase:
