Congrats, nice pickups!

beggars can't be choosers... (I do have an extra Joss if anyone is looking)

I just received my first Gypsy Queen today.http://i1118.photobucket.com/albums/...ps440948c8.jpg

A good night on Ebay last weekend netted me six Series 4 cards.This being one of them.

Nice GQ Andy.

Thanks Matt on my CJs. Your Ruth is phenomenal. Great pick up!

Can't believe my bid held up.

Sick card...nicest "poor" I've ever seen! Who looks at the back of their "blank back" cards anyway??

Awesome Babe Ruth rookie card. Looks gorgeous! Congrats.

Thanks. The grading game can sure be downright silly; when it came I eyed it for so long, and then after many minutes I finally remembered to look at the back, lol!

I can't believe how grading works sometimes, for example when you look at what a 90-10 OC, creased, stained PSA/SGC 2 or 3 can cost.

To me it is all and always about eye appeal. After all, when it's just a collector and his card, he's looking at the card, at the image-- not some number some random dude put on it ;)

Great Cracker Jacks plus a Ruth Rookie and a d304 Cobb. Quite the month here on the board. Congrats!

A few nice commons
 

Nice pickups everyone.

Picked up these eight commons this month.

Best regards,

Joe

Great pickup Jason!

Thank you, John:

Happy to add this pretty tough Wagner to the collection.

Great Wagner card, Dean.

Nice pick-ups, Toby. Especially like the W. Robinson card.

Very nice Wagner, Dean

Thanks guys. I appreciate it.

Sunday pickups
 

Nothing spectacular but the T207 Block is one of the keys to the set because it is so scarce so I always pick one up when it is offered (Cardboard Classic auction) and a T213-2 Mowrey Pittsburgh.

My fifteenth cub sovereign and my favorite!Attachment 103421

A few more Chases...
 

Slowly adding to my Prince Hal collection...

It is my assumption that the first baseman on the "Trying To Catch Him Napping" card is, in fact, Hal Chase...please tell me if this is just wishful thinking on my part...otherwise, just makes sense ot have this card in my collection...

My very modest contribution: (For me, it's quite ironic this arrived today - I don't think Zack is too happy with me!)

Most impressive.

That's a really nice Zack Wheat.

Other Sean, nice Evers. I've always liked that card. :)
How many more do you need to finish the Cubs subset?

Hi sean!
Need about ten to complete my sons cubs set but if I do all sovereigns then I still need about 22 more lol paid pretty well for that one but I'm beginning to think the 150 series sovereigns are rarer then people have thOught so I'm glad to pick it up for the price of a grade better.

Hi matt!
That would most likely be fred merkle as I assume it would be a giant and not a highlander. Interstingly it does kind of resemble chase which makes me wonder if they stole a chase photo (like one of the many from the t202s) and just changed the teams.

I agree about the Sovereign 150s. I've been looking everywhere but can't seem to find a Merkle portrait with a Sov 150.

Good luck with the Cubs.

The opposing player plays for Cincinnati, so I don't see how it could be Hal Chase.:(

Doh! I'm going to go back to my little corner and eat some humble pie for dinner...guess I've always just seen what I've wanted to see. Damn! Thanks Jake...

Sorry...felt I had to do it bluntly, instead of leaving you with even a little bit of doubt that could never be fulfilled.

And please, call me Jake.:)

Thanks Jake...always better to rip the bandaid off quickly in my experience! :)

Just a small pickup. But it's a type that I didn't have, and also a rookie year item of a hall of famer.. Not that I'm a type-collector, but I like having a variety within my HOF rookie collection.. PeeWee Distarce obviously adds to the appeal.. No Hall of Fame rookie collection is complete without a midget racer...

Nice Mize rookie, David

Sovereign Evers
 

Nice pickup, Sean! Always good to see a Sovereign...and even better in Cubbie Blue!

Take Care,
Geno

thanks geno! I needed it for my sons team set anyways but couldnt pass up a sov 150 of it :)

Picked up my THIRD BF2 Tinker cubbie pennant to help out my Cubbie wheel. I still need Schulte, Lavender and Hendrix if anyone can please help me out?

Very impressive. Is that Mordecai faded or is it some color other than purple?

Sean....
 

Great Atz! I was the underbidder:eek:

you bastard!:D

lol.....i'm happy for you:)

Johhny, sorry that I had to beat you to the Atz. Do you know who got the Collins Blank?

I think its a different color as the photo is pretty clear on both :)

contest winner
 

The T206 Cobb that I WON in the Whitewhalecards.com contest is now in hand. Thanks guys for running such a great giveaway.
* black dot is not on card just in scan.

John, congratulations on your new Cobb.

Sean....

Four new judicial appointments . . .
 

Wow, tons of cool stuff here. Nice Ruth rookie! Nice Gypsie Queens!

I get pretty happy when these pop up missing pieces. Been slowly picking these up for about 4 years now.. The dismembered die-cuts are a nice cheap 19th century side-project. Thought I would be able to knock off the last 2 that I needed tonight, but got outbid on the Baltimore one. One more to go. Maybe one day I'll upgrade the others to one's with heads.:D

Kiki looks like he is about to beat the crap out of someone with that bat...

Good night tonight in Joe's auction. I'm going to get the Coupon Huggins regraded, very nice.

two more EPDG
 

Thanks to Scott and Ed for these two; now at 84 (with a few in the mail):

Nice one Chris. Seems like it should have graded better than a 2. :)

Thanks Sean...there is a minor wrinkle running down the blue.

speaking of mail...
 

Murray Portrait arrived today... less than 300 to go :rolleyes:

Very nice, Bruce.

Nice! Ive been digging t213s lately..and even with a wrinkle, I think its better than a 2!

t213's are becoming the new t206's...it's about time t213 has gotten its due!

Speaking of T213's, here's a nice one I picked up from calvindog. Thanks Jeff!

Very nice Jeff.

Erick...one small step at a time!

Toby & Bruce, nice pick-ups!

Many thanks to John D. (& Matt H.) for allowing me to obtain a nice copy of Gaffney. The Kelly was a pick-up from long ago and will have to do until a nicer image surfaces. "Honest John" Gaffney & "Honest John" Kelly were acting as managers in 1887 but both considered to be amongst the best umpires of their time. They were both asked to umpire the 1887 World Championship between Detroit and St. Louis; Gaffney being from the NL, Kelly from the AA. The two umpire system was first tried the year before during the Championship series between Chicago and St. Louis and was deemed a success (one behind the plate, the other behind second base). They both did well throughout the 15 game Championship and received consistent praise by both teams and the press. When Detroit won the Dauvray Cup and associated pins, Gaffney himself would be a recipient.

Thank you Toby, a fabulous Conway. The back is butchered, but it looks awesome where it counts.

Great card Joe, regardless of what the back might look like. Nice pickup.

Nice Conway!
 

Oh, Joe - that is sweet! :)

Mike

Nice pick up on the E107.

Great card Joe, there can't be too many of those out there!

Yet another
 

This is the fourth to arrive in the last three days. At this rate... :D

Great cards. Might be the only one I post, my stuff dont really hang with most of the cards on here but I like it. Just started a goal of 100 different type cards of players on St. Louis teams. Only 96 to go.

http://i984.photobucket.com/albums/a...ps266ca2c2.jpg

Been mostly away from cards the last 3 weeks, but managed to narrow my t206 McGraw Portrait w/ Cap list down a bit. Only need 4 or 5 now. :)

Good going Jim. :):)
