Broken the scanner out tonight. Here are a few pickups for this month.

I'm starting to really like to T206 set. This could spell trouble :D:D

I believe this is a tough combo; 3 SGC graded and 1 PSA. Pinhole, writing and paper loss on the NY on the front, but otherwise a beaut! :D

1939 Exhibit Robert Moses ''Lefty'' Grove
 
http://imagehost.vendio.com/a/204295...TGROVE_NEW.JPG



.... I own or have owned close to a hundred of these salutation exhibits and I've seen many hundreds of others for sale , but I do not recall ever seeing a pronounced mis-cut on any exhibit card..they obviously had some pretty good quality control on the mechanical process .

..do any of you have a mis-cut 1939-46 Exhibit or recall seeing any ?

...if this were a T206 I'd be getting phone calls at three A.M. begging me to sell it.... You know who you are....

My 8th T206 card purchased just came in. Here's an image I did of the 8, including the Pastorius.

Oh, how I love Photoshop.

I also discovered I've been doing something incorrectly when scanning. I changed the sequence a little, and now the scans are perfect. No tweaking of levels needed at all. Just run the Canoscan toolbox, checkmark to show the display driver, use the recommended color settings, and click the blue scan button in the preview window. For some reason, it wasn't color adjusting correctly before. Now it's perfect every single time. So I'm basically rescanning my entire collection. :p

Thank you, Mike. The feeling is mutual.

I'll probably go back to saving up for another month or two with some auctions coming up, then I'll be much more active working on my collection going forward. In the mean time, I'll have 3 more T206s coming in within a few days, and some cards coming in for the vintage side. Two of those are Minnie Minoso and Mark Belanger cards, cards that will be specific to a discussion I'll be starting on the All Sports Talk water cooler board. Something I've been chewing on for a while. Something they both have in common.

...lightly adhering to very thin brittle scrapbook page paper...I'll leave them as they were found except for trimming the exposed excess paper-- the backs are blank anyway...it worked out okay on the bottom two cards .. it's always nice to look at pre-war Yankees..I guess this is considered 22-year-old Scooter Rizzuto's rookie card ?

Thank you so much, Luke! You know, it felt really good to just let loose a little bit. I'm almost at the point where I can start doing some serious work on my collection, and I can't wait.

I love the cards you picked up, too. People told me that after I'd been collecting the Monster for a while, I'd start to appreciate the different backs. They were right. They add a whole other dimension to the set for me. When I got my first Polar Bear backed card, I was pretty excited, even though it certainly wasn't a hard to get back. Then I got one of the factory 649 overprints followed closely by my first Southern Leaguer, which had an Old Mill back. Now I find when I look for cards, the backs play a very big part of my decision making. I look forward to my first Sovereign, Cycle, American Beauty and EPDG-backed cards.

Vintageismygame 08-25-2014 09:05 AM
Made a decent dent in the "Monster"!!

The 3rd pic is all the cards stacked up and showing off some better ones.

The Raymond is a Double Name and the Batch is a miscut with another card showing at the bottom. There are some in the lot with 2 backs showing.

The Cobb and Mathewson are from individual purchases but the rest all came from the same collection.

Ok, you guys are breaking out some big guns now.

Ian, how did I not know you were collecting DSs? And autographed ones, no less? That's a pretty cool idea. The cards are just gorgeous. SOmewhat reminiscient of the Goudey cards, but with very detailed backgrounds, which I like. You need to send me some links, my friend!

Matt-I might just have to snag one of those pictures for my desktop. A little ncentive to keep hitting the set. I have a long, long way to go, and since I know there are a lot of cards from other sets I will be adding, I know it's going to be a marathon. But aren't those cards beautiful. Did you giggle like a kid when you had them all fanned out like that? They're not even my cards, and I admit I had a bit of an excited chuckle. I really love seeing stuff like this.

Chris-fantastic! Those two, especially the Cobb on shoulder, have some really nice eye appeal. Damn, you are making me want to start my Hall of Fame chase now! Congratulations!!

Dan-it's absolutely your call, but if you wash that Clarke, you've got nerves of steel. I'd be absolutely scared to death soaking a CJ, especially a '14. To be honest, I kinda like the caramel staining. It adds character to the card. And that's as strong a two as you will ever find. The centering is perfect, and the eye appeal is just beautiful. Good luck. If you decide to go ahead, I'll be keeping my fingers crossed that everything goes as planned.

Joshua-you're killing me. Tell me you didn't actually pull that out of a pack. Oh, and it's a PB. That kicks the cool factor up for me. My favorite back. I love the dark blue with white lettering. Nice pick up! I want to add one of those so badly, and it has nothing to do with the demand. That's one of the coolest cards in the set.



See, guys, it's nights like this one, when I can scroll through the pickup thread, and see some really incredible pieces of history. It just makes me fall in love with our hobby all over again. Literally. We hear about the idiots like Mr. Mint, and shilling, and people trying to sell fakes. It could be easy to get discouraged. But I come here, and it's like Cher slapping me five across the eyes. "Snap out of it!"

In the grand scheme of things, when it comes to my own collection, I'm still a newborn. I'm learning how to crawl. But now I've got my big boy pants on, and I'm ready to start building. You guys inspire me. You really do. And I love seeing everybody enjoying themselves.

/chapeau. I tip my hat to you all.

Bill, you make some really strong points...thanks for your input. I'm not 100% sure I'll follow through, I'm terrified of damaging the card. Also am not sure if this level of staining can be significantly improved to make it worth the risk so I definitely want to get more opinions from experienced soakers.

Absolutely. You're going about this the right way, so no matter what you ultimately decide, Dan, you'll be making an informed decision. Usually this is where I say "test this out on a common", but even a common '14 CJ is going to cost you well over a C Note, especially with the market the way it is for them now.

The only thing that gets me about soaking is that you really can't just test a small area. It's not like the label says on color safe bleach, advising you to "test a small, inconspicuous area." It's like Yoda says. "There is no try. Do, or do not." You either have to drop the card in the solution (distilled water, if I remember correctly), or not do it. The card has to lay completely flat. :eek:

Vintageismygame 08-25-2014 08:51 PM
Bill - yeah I was like a kid in a candy store when I got those cards. I put them all in the card savers then I cataloged them into my spreadsheets. I have a master sheet that I keep track of the date the card was purchased, the cost, where I acquired it, and the condition. Then I have subset spreadsheets that they go into (portraits, HOFers, SLers, bat showing, glove showing, baseball showing, and horizontals). There is definitely a method to my "monster" madness!!

Once I get to 450 cards I plan on putting them into binder pages so they can be enjoyed the ole fashioned way!!

Hey Bill, how you been? The "idea" to go after these was born wholly on this board. I saw some of Sean's signed Goudeys, then made a group purchase on the board about a year and half ago. "Irwin Fletcher" had an amazing collection of signed Diamond Stars for sale and I ended up snagging all but one of his HOFers (still kicking myself for passing on the one, Lloyd Waner). I have been picking them up here and there ever since, as well as other signed pre-war stuff. I think DS are perfect for autographs and given they have similar color schemes, look great displayed together. They seem to come up for sale here and there. I was very happy to score the Terry on eBay, and another board member ended up with the Waner from the same seller. I'll email you some pics (some day I'll take time to upload my cards to site)

Sweet pick ups Erick. Wags/Gehrig look great, and I really think the E121 Sisler is an underrated card (know I love mine). Such a classic action shot of him.

I picked this R316 premium photo for my Sam Rice card collection in the recent Mile High Auction. But I am keenly disappointed to have been outbid on this Holsum Bread - Rice card in last week's SCP Auction:
http://catalog.scpauctions.com/1921-...-LOT28438.aspx
I was about to fall asleep at my PC shortly after midnight, so I increased my already-winning max bid, confident that I would win this card! "You win some, and you lose some" - but, the losses stay with me a whole lot longer than the wins, especially when I am the first under bidder!
