Great card Leon, nice little collection of E107s. Love the inscription on the back of the Thomas 'scarce'.....they got that right.

Postcard pickup this month.

Got in the Chuck Klein today PSA 5. Nice lil day. Thanks to Stephen and Doug for the deals. I basically swapped out a SGC for a PSA. Anyway thanks for looking

Harry Davis Day
 

Here's a recent one. Anyone know where I can find a Doc Powers Day postcard to join it? Thanks.

wow! is that Ed Konetchy autographed?!?!
Also that George Kelly is great, It looks like they are looking at his autograph!

I'm an Athletics fan and have wanted this for a long time, really happy to get one in pretty good shape.

Cool postcard, jim...gotta be happy with that one!

Thanks, I've lost on a few in the past but this was the best looking one I've seen yet so was really hoping to get it. Won it for the max I was willing to go and it was even better looking than I thought it would be so I'm pretty thrilled.

Beautiful Harry Davis PC - it's on my wantlist.

Nice grab on the Davis pc Brian, been looking for a Powers Day pc for a long time too.

Great stuff as usual Jim!

Me too Jeff...

It's great to know that there will be spirited bidding should one come up!

1930 W554 Lou Gehrig. A great display piece.

I'm sure there are some coin/currency collector's out there. I know it's not a baseball card, but had to show off the graded $1,000 bill I just got. Just like cards I love the artwork of currency and that was a lot of money back in the 30's!

Gorgeous card! I'm holding onto the hope that a Lyons and/or Ruffing will become available for sale one day. But your Hoyt is a beauty!

First cards from the 19th century. They look pretty cool. Were acquired from the BST.

Sweet card Chris. Blank back ghost. Love it.

The "Eyes of Laura Mars" version. That is a true oddity.

Hi Sean...Thanks, I think the Ed Konetchy is personally signed, I can't find comparison signatures.

The Kelly postcard also includes Casey Stengel as the Boston Braves manager. The Braves and Browns traveled to Monterrey Mexico in 1941, I think this may be a view from that trip, this RPPC is printed on Mexican RPPC paper.

Would you mind sharing the back of your Kelly PC from Mexico? I have a few Mexican rPPCs and am curious what your back looks like.

Thanks, Derek

Mexican pc
 

Here's one I have of Joe DiMaggio, early 1940's, I believe. Note the advertising at the bottom.

Hi Derek..Here you go. Thanks Jim

Finally got an Aldon Candy overstamp...

Attachment 133372

Thanks Jim! My c1943 postcard of Roy Campanella has the same "Kodak" writing and postage stamp box. The "Fotografia Dominguez" stamp is slightly different on mine though. I'll post the back of mine when I get to a computer (see below).

Yours is definitely late 1930s to early 1940s based on the stamp box.

Happy to cross this one off my R311 list.

from sterling; #422
 

i like this chance; off center with a 'wet sheet' transfer on front

Congrats Conor : Great pickup-- tough set to collect !

I got lucky and managed to find a ratty Brooklyn Dodgers for my Casey Stengel Master Set.

...this had to be Spring Training -- look at the sunburns/suntans on some of these Bums .

pickups
 

Thx to a couple board members, T0m Pr!nce & M!ke He@ler, for helping me get started on my 14 CJs.

It was a Yankee heavy day in the mail Saturday.

Cool Devlin. I already have one, but I was eyeing this one for a while for that crop mark. Definitely adds some interest.

Irby...
 

Thanks Steve for a good trade! Dutch...

That's quite a start to a '14 Cracker Jack set! At this pace, you should be done by April. :) (but seriously, you've got quite the challenging road ahead of you. Good luck!)

....especially in those grades...yowzers.

awesome Cracker Jacks and Yankee exhibits guys!

Good month so far for my Indians Ts

Antique show and shop finds
 

Hi-
I picked up the OJ scanned below at a small flea market in Maryland at the beginning of the month. I picked up the N284s at a small antique shop in Massachusetts yesterday. Normally I do not find cards (usually just memorabilia), especially 19th century ones at reasonable prices.

Alan

Yes, I'm in for the long haul

Ratty and overpriced but I was desperate.....
 

http://imagehost.vendio.com/a/204295...RBERSTYPES.JPG


....has a wicked tear and the corners are gone and it's got fountain-pen writing and has been roughly-treated and poorly-kept but how often does a 1936 Goudey Wide Pen R314 Type 2 Chapman-Werber come along for only $45.....hell , I wasn't even positive that it existed at all ,figuring the checklists were wrong because none had appeared during many years of searching......even the seller had it listed as a National Chicle Fine Pen ( R313 ).... so now the dreaded ''hunt for the upgrade'' begins..........love this hobby !!

Picked up these 2 from a fellow board member. The first pic is before I saved the Schrader from imprisonment.

O'Day OJ
 

picked up this sweet O'Day OJ in a trade w/ Val K! Thanks for helping me land one of my nicest OJ's!!

One of my monthly SSA pickups.

More Bees in Mexico
 

Derek & Jim:
Here's another Mexican RPPC with Stengel and Kelly. Same back as Jim's. Looks like they are comparing the Mexican-made baseballs to an avocado pit...heh.

I took the month off from "The Monster" to concentrate on my pre-war pirates collection:

The last five pages of this thread are just amazing. My collection is what it is (SF Giants) but this site is giving me a new found appreciation for the really old stuff. Before, I'd get an auction catalog and think "meh" to 80% of the contents. Great stuff, guys. :D

Thanks, Mike. Cool Dodgers - that's a toughie in any condition.....better to take home an ugly chick than go home alone :)

Jason - nice Tip Top Phillippe! I didn't know it was a fellow Net54er that bought that from me on the 'Bay. Congrats!!

My E93 Evers from BST showed up today. Looks even better in person.

Snagged this Red Cobb. It presents very well!

1929 Churchman Babe Ruth
 

Thank you Gobucsmagic74. Love the card, won't be going anywhere anytime soon!

You bet Mike!

1910 Toledo Baseball Team Postcard that includes Joe McCarthy
(back row, sixth from left) and a 1947 Almendares Baseball Club
Team Premium that includes Adolfo Luque & Buck O'Neill.

Beautiful post cards, Jeff. Two more outstanding additions to what continues to be one of my very favorite collections on Net 54. I especially like the Almendares base ball club.

There have been a lot of great players that have come and gone, but if I were to come up with a list of players I wish I could have met, Buck O'Neil would be at the very top (hmm, sounds like an interesting topic). He was truly one of the great ambassadors of the game. The man was a witness to some incredible history, and his enthusiasm for the game was second to none. I could have sat there listening to him speak for hours on end, and I'd have been enthralled the entire time.

just got back from the exchange...
 

finally replaced the one i had to sell years ago...

Dude with the 'tude
 

Mark...you can't get a vintage card with more 'tude than that Zeenut. Congrats on the real nice Weaver pickup.

Brian

A SLer or two...;)

Nice pickups, Alex

Wow! I'm a first timer to your collection and I'm awestruck! What an amazing collection would be an understatement. I'll peruse for hours!

Thanks for the comments guys!

Derek, thanks again for reaching out to me and trading me these two "NM beauties" (hey, "beauty is in the eye of the beholder," right?) for my Sam Rice collection from your fantastic RC collection. It's great when a trade greatly enhances both collectors' collections!

Condition-wise, this Boston Store closely resembles the only other Sam Rice RC "NM beauty" I already had, which is a Collins-McCarthy example. Now, the only ad back 1917 Rice I am missing is the D350-2 Standard Biscuit - anyone have one they are willing to sell or trade? I also wouldn't mind acquiring a 1917 E135 blank back of Rice, although I am partial to cards with ad backs.
Val

Val - my 2014 collecting goal will be to upgrade your Boston Store to something more suitable!! I loved working w/ you on a trade!! I learned more about Sam Rice than I bargained for, but it was worth it!

Derek, you are too kind! I echo what you said about working together to achieve a "win - win" trade. And, I truly appreciate your 2014 collecting goal, but I'd rather you amend it to finding me a 1917 Standard Biscuit of Rice! FYI, I have lots of "poor" cards in my collection - you should see some of my WaJos - and, I love each and every one of them!
Best,
Val

always love the Tinker portrait

Man that's a good looking Tinker, very nice ;-)

I agree, Buddy. That Tinker is a beauty. Great color on it. Congratulations, Adam!

thanks Brian, i also got these...
 

it took about some time but i'm finally replacing the cards i sold years ago to buy my house...at least for the down payment :)

I love CJ 14s but find most of the poses rather lame, and redundant. But this is one of my favorite--great pose and uniform and attitude. Looks like a HOFer.

http://www.net54baseball.com/attachm...1&d=1392871785

Too bad it isn't a HOFer. That is a nice pose of the other Wags.

Excellent, Mark. And as you rebuild that part of your collection, you have a nice place to display them. Win win!

Good luck with hunting down those other cards. I look forward to seeing them.

Bill

A few non-card pickups from BST. Cincy megaphone for my wife and a Mike Ryba photo.

My first venture into Cuban cards - I think I will be back!

I think I was the other guy in on Marsans to the end....

expecting these in the mail today

That Tango Eggs Hughie Jennings card is awesome, he sure looks happy.:D

I picked up the Aguilitas Segundas Rojo, which is an upgrade for my set.

This fella makes it 100 in my Monster collection.
