Matt,

I was going to put in a bid on that last night, but between my 10 mo. old running a high fever and trying to finish up a project for work, I missed it before the normal bidding time ended.

Sweet card, and a pretty nice price at that. Congrats on the pickup!

some really nice stuff. I wish my wallet was as big as some of yours. Keep the good stuff coming.

CB,

Sorry to hear your kid had a fever-- those are rough nights. Yeah, a rare deal at Heritage. I think it might've been outshined by some of their more primo offerings. I put it up against the 3s and 4s on VCP before bidding and only one 4 had it beat. The centering really struck me from first sight. Usually has pretty rugged tilt and OC.

Thanks Jason for the low grade Hindu to complete my first C.H.O.P. set.

Very cool Jon

Doubled my T202s
 

Glad to have picked up these Chief Meyers T202s recently.


Patrick

Very nice examples of both, Patrick. Congratulations on getting two beauties. I'm going to begin pursuing the set a little more aggressively. There's only 132 cards in the set, and not any cards that are extremely difficult to acquire.

My son got this Cobb greenie in the mail today.

1 more to go

cute kid Dave.... Nice screw down holders too!! They look quite durable.

Nice Cobbys and super cute kid Dave!

Really cute kid Dave. Love that he's enjoying his latest Cobb.

First 1915 CJ
 

Picked up my first Cracker Jack after wanting one for a long time. Amazing color, centering and corners for the technical grade.

Hi Nathan,

Nice 1915 CJ Packard……certainly looks like a SGC 40………NOT!!!!:eek:

Beautiful card!!

Ward Portrait
 

One of the finest old judge images I have ever seen, on an iconic card like the Ward in Street Cothes Portrait. Thanks to Chris, Pete and all the guys at Heritage for bringing cards like this to market.

1905 era Robison Field, St. Louis
 

Crosby taken down while I do more research... here's one in its place:

Beautiful card Jay, looks pack fresh. Bold image, large borders, sharp corners . . . the only thing that has changed over the last 125yrs would be the black & white has become just a touch sepia toned. Congrats.

Awesome Ward, Jay!!

Dave, how is it that your son got a green Cobb before I did?!! No fair! ;)

I like your Cobb set up...and I really like the way you framed the blanket.

Cockrell, congrats on your first cj...that's a beauty!

Nepotism is great! Congratulations on the Cobb pickup.

Very happy to get this guy checked off. Thanks again Jason

Mighty spiffy! :D

That is a very strong card of an impressive man on and off the field.

I found this at the Brimfield postcard show last weekend. I love the image of Jennings.

Alan

Where do you find all this great stuff??

And Alan - great Jennings PC!

This is as close as I get to cards these days :) Picked up this great scrapbook with over 200 woodcuts of which ~20 are baseball portraits from the NY Clipper (1883 and after). It contains many sports including cycling, wrestling etc. as well as a bunch of actors. Definitely one of the most unique items that I have come across.

Very nice, George, congrats.

Just picked up on ebay:

Steve

Nice Ruth!

Nice, congrats Steve.

Cool postcard but I'm not so sure of the ID although the time is about right for Bing being at Gonzaga. Bing had some seriously distinct looking "attached" earlobes and the player in the postcard definitely doesn't appear to have his ears.

Thanks Phil and happy collecting to you :)

1918 Salt Lake City Bees
 

I don't recall if I previously posted this print from an original glass plate negative I acquired of the 1918 Salt Lake City Bees. Former Portland Beavers manager Walter McCredie is wearing his Portland jersey. The African American at the lower left, the Bees trainer, is former heavyweight boxer Peter Jackson.

My e95 set had a very nice weekend. 8 new cards, zero creases. Thanks again Scott!

Sweet E95s Luke. They look amazing (and very bright!) together.

A couple pickups of mine-
The Matty came a couple weeks back and the E220 Johnson was from Just Collect's listings tonight. I got a little trigger happy in the last seconds on the WaJo with eBay's one click bidding and went quite a bit higher than I'd intended:D, but am happy to pick it up.

I took German in college so had to get a Sanella card. And I think the blue on the M116's is stunning.

A big thank you to Ian for these two cards. :)

Nice Jeff

Man, your scanner does those cards more justice than my eyes ever did (or maybe it was my dim/under lit living room)!!:D

Congrats on the WaJo Bill, I know you've been after that upgrade for a little while now, and it's a great looking 4. Hope to see some more nice ones in the coming months.

Striking image Jeff! Very nice....

cheap pickup, 1935 Goudey 4 in 1 with Mickey Cochrane and Charlie Gehringer, PSA 1, decent looking card.

Shoeless Joe
 

Got this in the mail yesterday from a fellow board member. Thanks Brad! My framer dug up a copy of a photo likely used for the b18, and turned it around in a day (he could tell how excited I was to display it!)

Sorry, no scanner yet, guys, but picked up a near perfectly centered 1936 R312 Mize in ungraded VG just a couple of days ago. Highly underrated slugger, who would likely have had 450-480 career homers had he not lost 3 full years to WWII, .312 lifetime average, and a career OPS+ of 156, right there with Willie Mays!

Best regards always,

Larry

Don't think I posted this yet. In a league of her own.

Dave, that Jackson piece is amazing! PM me if you need picture posting coaching. My fee is very reasonable, and I'll have you posting pictures right side up in no time :D

Nice Jackson B18 and photo
 

Nice Jackson B18 and photo!

:eek: awesome pickup, one of my favorites....congrats Bill

^^^^^ I agree

Thanks to a board member for the addition of the Harry Sutor 1911 Zeenut to my collection. Now looking for the D311 Pacific Coast Biscuit #64 Harry Sutor (and when I am a little richer, the T5 Pinkerton, the T4 Obak Premium, and the Western Playground Association). Also added a decent Addie Joss E90-1. Am I happy? You bet!

:):)

That Jackson looks great Dave! Glad it finally made it to you! Enjoy!

This came today. Nice week here! Any Millers fans on the board?

Thanks to Tom and Ed, it's been a great month so far!!!

Crackerjack crazy. Love that set. Well last night I jumped in and snagged this 38 Goudey for my set off of Sterling. I missed out on a few 34's on ebay but went a bit higher than I was looking to spend.

Beautiful VLM!!!

Nice CJs Barry!

Thanks

Thanks to Mike S for the Sweeney & added one more to the Chase run.

Don't add too many Gibsons to my collection these days, so I'm thrilled to get this W501 from the BST (thanks again Brian):

<img border="0" width="400" src="http://www.collectorfocus.com/images/show/georgegibson/baseball-cards/18120/1922-w501" />

Also picked up the ever elusive Sovereign 460 Gibson back as I stretch to keep my T206 back run going:

........The side borders seem smallish.....did the seller say anything about being trimmed ?

Not quite Tinker to Evers to Chance...
 

The latest addition to my steadily growing T202 collection.

The Philadelphia Athletics infield, featuring Hall of Famers Frank "Home Run" Baker and Eddie Collins, as well as Harry Davis and Jack Barry.

This is the core of the group that would come to be known as the $100,000 infield starting in 1911, when a younger Stuffy McIinnis replaced Harry Davis at first base. It's my belief that McInnis should have gotten more Hall of Fame consideration than he received.

I got a great price on this, as the little "47" stamp on the middle panel's back lowered the overall score. The card itself is quite beautiful though.

Checked off a couple more Series 4 cards.

Nice cards. I just bought 2 new T210s yesterday. Scans to come when they arrive. I will be picking your brain as I get started with this set.

Nice cards. Also, I really enjoy your site and recommend it to anyone who hasn't already checked it out.

Just picked up my Brooklyn Mini from the post office. Thanks to OldJudge (Jay) for helping me add this one.

Alex and Steven thanks for the kinds words. I enjoy seeing fellow T210 collectors cards so please post away! I will help anyway I can with what knowledge I have acquired about this awesome issue.

I'm sure you are right, it is graded authentic.

Just received from Greg Nazareth on the BST. Thanks Greg, it's a beauty!

I have two. I will try to put scans together this week. If you have a want list let me know and I will keep an eye out.

Bill,

That's a really nice T202. I enjoy seeing cards with back stamps. Thanks for sharing.

Regards,
Marty

Really nice pickup, Dave. Saw it on the BST and thought about it...one day I'll get one.

Cheers,

Richard.

Thank you, Marty.

I know that the grade is technically correct, but I feel that this is a fine example of how a mark can actually enhance a card's overall appeal. It adds character to it. It's a subtle reminder that this card is a part of history.

Thanks Richard. Been looking for one of these for a while. Very pleased with it.
