Picked up a couple of T213-2 Coupons on ebay tonight. I hope I don't get started on this set again! :(

this is awesome!

one of my best months...
 

I picked up quite a few tough HOF rookie cards over the past month+, thanks mostly to Phil G. selling a large portion of his collection. Thanks again!

Here are a few...

Thanks to Mac and Dick!

Hoarder

ha ha mike...i like to think of it as "leverage!"

Nice Pete, are those creases on the right side of the new one (013)?

A banner day
 

It's been a long while since I've added 9 cards to my set in one day... thanks to Andrew for the Spade and Robert for the other eight.

Now I have all of the "A's" (alphabetical, not Philadelphia) and inching closer to the 400 mark.

Coupon grab
 

Jon - Great "T206 Coupon" snare off ebay! You stole that one for the price!
Congrats, Jeremy

Morris
 

Jason - I never get tired of looking at that pose. Superb card !

A couple of great additions to your collection there, Ian!

I've been reading quite a bit about Jimmie Foxx. I've always felt he has been a tad underrated as far as the game's all-time great power hitters go. I'd put him in the same category with Ralph Kiner in that regard.

At some point this fall, I'll be looking to add a '34 Goudey Foxx to my collection. Both the '33 and '34 Goudey sets are really growing on me. I was looking at Rob Miller's '33 set, and it's incredible. I see why they're both so popular with collectors.

What I'd really love to have is the '34 Goudey Lou Gehrig # 37. I took one look at John's (Wonkaticket) card, and fell in love with it. Mine would be a lower graded one, obviously, but still have great eye appeal.

I hope so. Watched and drooled over it for 7 days. It was under $50 with 10 minutes to go. Just wanted a nice back example and can overlook the milk vomit...

nice pickups guys...agreed...nice type 1 scoops. Chris...those are indeed creases!

Just got this 3 back miscut... Happy to add this one to my T206 Freak Show :)

Nice Jamie.

Interesting Pete, I didn't recall seeing them on the Goodwin scans.

I've been switching back and forth between pre-war and post-war HOF rookies. Here is my latest pre-war pick-up:

Chris...that's disconcerting!

I'll post it here too.
 

I just got it back from SGC (I posted it raw earlier this month in the thread).

Thanks to David R for helping check this one off the want list.

Either from a T206 test sheet or Lash Bitter's test sheet.

I don't really care for most of the printing errors but this one is really cool, Chris! Congrats on the pick-up!

Nice pickups Ian

Doerr from a board member....

Chris - Nice Maddox!

Congrats Brad!! I think you showed me that one after right I ended up with your Jackie.

Thanks Bill- I agree, Foxx was a beast. One of my favorite stats was in one of B James earlier abstracts, best player of each decade. Look at Foxx's '30.. Wow!

Yep Ian that is one. Hope you are enjoy the Robinson!! And also hope you are doing well!

My first T209.

Stunning card!

Picked this up a while ago, but recently go it slabbed.

A little more progress on the E92 Nadja set thanks to a board member and Ebay.

DJ

Thanks Ted Z! Great dealing with you.

Michael-Very nice Drum.

:eek: Mike!

wow beautifull Drum

Both Mike and Chris... niiiiiiiiiice!

first pickup in probably over a month... Been too damn busy with work lately...:D

Mike, good to see that you got another Drum. :)

Thanks Sean!

I bought this raw from bbcard1 about a year ago. Had a bunch of SGC stuff heading to Jersey, so, threw him in just to get slabbed. Fully expected an A. I was very surprised and don't expect to ever get rid of it.

Nice card, centered Drum T206's are very hard to come by!

I haven't posted many lately but here are a couple of my recent pick-ups from earlier this month.............

Nice, Phil. Love the Oms card. And I'm familiar with it thanks to your book!

Musial!
 

nice Mr. Musial Phil!!

I assume you bought that one raw on eBay from the same guy who Paul got his nice Dandridge and who I got my Minoso from (posted below). He definitely had some nice Cuban cards in that group of listings!!

Look at my avatar to know how much I love that Musial "rookie"!

It's been a good month.

Big un...
 

Picked up in the latest Baggers. Very happy with this big dog, even if it is OC top/bottom. Paid for the item on 8/23 and it arrived today. BTW, was charged $6 for shipping/insurance and the actual cost was $7.34.

WOW... nice pickups Phil!

Agreed. Great pickups Phil...

Haven't picked much up or posted much lately either...Just that '34 Gold Medal Medwick the other day, and now this one. Both are ones that I've had on my wantlist for a while.....:D:D:D

Erick! Fantastic watching the big ones falling. Congrats.

Thanks, guys.

Thanks... my price per card looks good, and then I go and buy one of these! Holy smokes!!!

should be here by Wednesday :D

What a great looking card. Congrats!!

wow beautifull cobb congrat !!

A few more pick ups for this month...
 

I'm keeping the La Morena but the others were too good of deals to pass up. Probably going to sell them in the near future to help pay for the La Morena. lol

I was an underbidder on that La Morena.... Good deal Brad enjoy the card :D:D:D

Next time don't bid so high Sean. :)

Here are a couple of more recent pick-ups............

Sovereign pick-up
 

I picked up Rube in a trade with a fellow N54er...thanks, Pat! Always nice to add a Sovereign!

http://i144.photobucket.com/albums/r...s78254d42.jpeg

Geno my old virtual friend, we go back a long time but for your sake, I sure do hope you realize that the Rube Manning you received from Pat is not a T202 card.

As a sidebar, I'm a bit embarrassed to admit this, but for the past couple of years I've had a saved postcard search on My eBay. Actually, since I'm practically opening-up my inner soul to you guys, I'll also admit that sometimes I search the postcard section before I hit the baseball card section. Okay........I'm feeling a little bit better now!

Here are my pickups:


Attachment 111892

Always fascinated by interracial players from the pre-war card era. By chance does anybody recognize the team on the uniform logo ("S")?

Attachment 111893

And finally, I just love this pic. I'm always amazed at how close the infielders and outfielders played during the early part of the pre-war card era.

Attachment 111895

"Lovely Day!"

Hey Iggy, cool pickups. That integrated team is the Nebraska State Prison team. I've had some images of them in the past along with images of the warden (large white dude on right) posing with other groups from the prison. You can PM me if you want and I can send you the other images I have.

Here he is on the right of this band photo. Warden WT Fenton.

T202 vs T205
 

Iggy --

Good to here from you, and nice postcards!! I still hunt down the occasional T202, but have moved into Sovereigns as well. Keeps me busy!

Take Care,
Geno

Company F Walton, NY & Eastman College Poughkeepsie, NY
 

Couple of neat Photo Postcards.... 1904 & 1908

1. First is Indoor Ball Team State Champions "Co. F" associated with the Military out of Walton, New York. The back stamp dates it to 1904... Still trying to hunt down info on these guys. I really like the Uniforms!

2. 1908 Eastman College Football Team out of Poughkeepsie, New York. Seems to be even tougher to find info, but I did find the 1909 Baseball team in the Spalding Guide...

Not sure how or why I did the back scans bigger than the front? Oh well:)

So which Brown cost more??? SGC probably deflated the value of the "pictured" Mordecai by labeling it as Buster Brown. I would have labelled it as Mordecai ( w/ incorrect team)... But that's just me.

Nice pair of PCs though!

P.S. Phil - nice Willard Brown (not to be confused w/ Ray). Way too many Browns for one thread!!!

Another OB of the list.Thanks Mike.

3-Finger!
 

This Sovereign Cubbie eluded me for a long time before a fellow N54er came through! Thanks to Mike and Sean (for the head's up)!

Take Care,
Geno

Nice stuff

Stack of raws from LOTG.

http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/08/29/2e2uzeru.jpg

Nice! Who is LOTG?

love of the game auctions =LOTG

Erick, awesome picture!

I have to agree.

I want to reach into the picture, and look through them all.

That's the best part! While all the cards were listed, there weren't many scans. I intentionally didn't ask for additional scans... I wanted to see what goodies were in there... and there were a few! Always fun!

I'll sell some of the lower grade ones raw, and send in a bunch for grading. There's a handful that I need for my SGC 40 set that should come back at that grade.

When lots are incoming, those are among the most exciting mail days.

For me, what is even more exciting, is purchasing a framed display of T206s, with no idea what the backs are. I've been able purchase around 8 of these, and I love doing it! One included 6 tolstois, 3 AB 460s, and 4 Sovereign 460s.

Thanks Pete ... I'm still trying to learn all these Net54 acronyms :-)

For my pickup, I'm ecstatic to show this one off.

Thanks Mi.ke H! Great seller and great card.
