Picked this up from the latest Baggers Auction, which ended on Thursday night, paid via Paypal on Friday, and received it in my mailbox on Monday! Super fast shipping and great service again!

Three More C46s
 

Picked up three more C46 catchers and now I have 8 of 12 of the catchers in the set.

I added cards 74, 89, and 90. Picked up Bill Byers, Lew McCarty, and Harry Curtis. Bit of a homecoming for Harry in that I live just South of Portland, ME where he was born.

just got received this beaut!

Gary, I love that Gehrig. Congrats!

It's been awhile
 

So busy lately. Have had some of these for awhile, but between spring break, taxes and coaching baseball, there hasn't been time. EPDG pickups from B&L, Goodwin and eBay:

Thanks, Jeff!

A B/S/T pickup...thanks Steve!

Nice c46's Patrick....they are really growing on me. Love the little bios on the backs too. If you have a chance would love to see scans of backs.:) Dave. ps do you get them graded, or keep em raw? What 4 catchers do you still need?

C46 Catchers
 

Hi David,

The C46s were slabbed and I cracked them out since I keep my collection in lucite holders. The last 4 C46 catchers I need are: Butler, Hardy, Mitchell, and Wells.

Patrick

Thanks Ted Z. !
 

Special thanks to Ted Z. for parting with this beautiful T209 Contentnea John Tiedemann.

Busy mail day today. Some of the highlights include my first Cycle back. The same card I guess would count as my first T206 Freak as the back was misaligned and you can see the edge from the next card on the left side. Also received my first prewar auto.

Most recent pickups:

Cards are actually nicer than my crappy Canon printer/scanner would indicate. :(

And a couple more ...
 

Two of my favourite card images from their respective sets:

Thanks RobD via the BST and Bagger's Auctions

Yet another flawless BST transaction.

1910 Hugh Smith Obak
 

Another purchase this month. I could not resist the front/back combination on this card, so I upgraded my Hugh Smith 1910 Obak. Great gloss still on front of this card makes the colors pop.


Patrick

Boss Schmidt E92
 

Lastly, I picked this up in the recent Goodwin & Co. Auction. Boss Schmidt E92 Dockman & Sons. It has to be one of the strangest views for a catcher card.


Patrick

added 15
 

adding 15 to the SGC 40 collection... one away from 70%

As I'm sure you can assume, I'm not crying about this transaction. :)

You weren't joking when you said just wait. Nice addition to The Top 10!

Thanks, man! Yeah, it's definitely in the Top Ten for sure. It's a very presentable low grade card....just the way I like 'em! :)

Sweet Lenox Jimi!

A couple more T202s for me..

Attachment 96408

Some great 40s Erick...I'm thinking you'll hit 75% this year.

Jimi...glad that you got it, goes well with the Cycle..you should try a back run :D

Very nice Galvin, Ian.

Yeah, the Galvin is a sweet card. Great pickup.

It may have crossed my mind! ;)

Thanks guys. Aside from always being happy to buy from a nice guy and N54er, it was Pud's gut and posture, along with his colorful history that sold me on that one... love that guy

Jeff, nice Coombs postcard!

I always try to stop picking up '14 CJs, cuz I know I'll never be able to finish the set, but every once in a while another finds its way into my mailbox ... and a couple other items that showed up at the same time:

card is not prewar, but the subject is! hope he doesn't mind i need the exposure.

(will be on bst tomorrow, accepting offers tonight...)

Another one to cross off my wantlist. SC150 Marquard. Thanks for the great transaction Marc.

The newest addition to my Goudey set came today. I need to get a new scanner, mine is starting to show streaks.

http://i1290.photobucket.com/albums/...psbd582c84.jpg

Sweet Ruth!

Thanks Ian! I've been waiting for awhile to pull the trigger.

I picked up this Sporting Life last night on eBay. Anyone know if they've ever been reprinted? The description said it was 13 x 14 which is correct. It's got a pin hole at the top but I won it for just over $100. I figured it might be too good to be true?

Epdg #75
 

Hit number 75 today; cracked Krause out of an older SGC 20 holder. Looks slightly better than that to me.

Packs-
I do not know if they have been reprinted, but they generally are not very expensive (although I think they should be given the players and age). It should feel like a heavy magazine page. The tackhole is good, and the size seems right to me (I recently acquired and traded a few of them that I know to be real). Others can give you better information but I believe it to be good (based on the photo above). I also think you got it at a very decent price for the apparent condition (I have seen a lot with tears).


I picked up the 2 OJs from Don at the show in Wilmington MA. I know they are trimmed, but I really like the photo quality of both and the background on the Dwyer in particular.

Alan

First addition to my WaJo collection in quite some time - from eBay/Probstein (thanks. R.P., for the super fast shipping!). I'm pumped because this silk is much nicer than my three S74 Old Mill WaJos (different colors), each of which has stitch marks along the edges. I don't know much about S74s - do I correctly understand that the S74 WaJo is also found with a Red Sun ad, which is scarcer than a Turkey Red, which in turn is scarcer than an Old MIll?
Val

Nice, if you get too scared it's not real, I'll make you whole. :)

Packs:

The W601 premiums have been reprinted though at a smaller size.

Yours is good. Nice pickup.

Thanks. LOTG

Thanks guys. There's some creasing on the bottom right corner but I was really impressed with the quality of the image and the eye appeal. Really appreciate the help.

Nice pair of T207's, Congrats.

Name your price, I'll take it, assuming it passes authentication of three TPG's, at your expense of course.

Adam,
Outstanding Goudey Ruth!

I picked up two of my favorite T206 card (Pattee), and added a few more that I really love the background of

Quan, I currently have the 2nd highest rated set on the SGC registry (though none of mine are signed.) So if comes back better than an 88 I'll take it.

Two new pickups. First from eBay, the second from a fellow board member.

my first Cy Young Card...

Series 4 Pickup.

#76
 

Another one for the collection.

Picked up another for my McGraw Portrait w/ Cap back run as well as a Cobb Neilson's Chocolate at the Strongsville Show today. Open to unloading the Cobb if someone wants it, but if not, it'll remain in my HOF Collection for now. I already have a Cobb, but....it's Cobb. :)

Not pre-war, but I believe this is one of the first photos with Cuban ballplayer, the "Immortal Azcue". Also has Ellensburg native, pitcher, Stu Hanson. Who, I have accumulated quite a collection of, despite only two years in the minors (also have '57 Chiefs team photo w/Hanson, & 1954 Ellensburg Cowboys semi-pro signed baseball w/Hanson's sig). Note, one of the great names in baseball 2nd row right, Bob Famous.

Sweet, but don't stare at that back too long!

Too legit.

Too legit to quit.

Now that I have this in hand...I DO believe the listing that it IS a T216 BB.

Picked this Cobb in the BST section last week end.

The buyer of the rest of these has asked if these cards could possibly be autographed by the players... I don't know.

Ah... your first T3 -- very nice. Welcome to the club, bro. There's no going back. :cool: :D

Babe Ruth Postcard
 

Postcard of Nickolas Muray photo. It's got the right back to be authentic from his playing days, but suspect it is not authentic.

Thanks to a great trade from Todd Marcum. I am just 6 away from completing my sons cubs team set by getting the toughest one there was. And in a cool holder to boot!
