there's the proud new owner of a t213-1 MArquard!!!!!! are u going to paint a moustache on titus?

Thanks, Pete, no, but it may be the most difficult card to find of the 3 with the P 42 back...Rob

Pick-ups April or Not
 

Sold the set-complete (520 of 524, minus "big 4") a few years ago. Collecting the E93 thru E98 but it's a slow process, got bored so started acquiring some of these back again in dupes, trips and then some ;)

Raw seen here, many graded as well. Some acquired in April, most all late last year and YTD

As I said in another thread, I thought I would make a run at that Marquard, but " I am not worthy!" Great card. Congrats!

Nice
 

Ed- that's a great picture right there! Nice work

1+

My first actual George Close card.

Doosy of a first e94...congrats!

Here's a C. 1930's Bobby Veach Coal Company Ad Card with Ty Cobb, Bobby Veach & Sam Crawford

That is incredibly cool JB!

So, I know some of you guys don't take a shine to beaters, but to me, these are some of the best cards I own. When I first started collecting, I thought I could never get an example of either of these two. Yet here they are. Funny, I was reading an old thread, and someone was describing a Demmitt with writing on the front, and right after that I found this one, and thought, "Well, it doesn't bother me too much." I think it is the nicest Demmitt I've seen for (barely) under $1K in the last two years. And I love this Cobb image, maybe I will be able to get the T216 Cobb leaning on bat someday after all!

T213-2
 

I found this T213-2 that is miscut top to bottom and has a little bit of Zimmerman, Chicago Nat. on top.

April Pickup
 

Very proud to have my very own 33 Ruth. Started with the red one. I think I will go for the full standing pose next when my bank account recovers.

Great Ruth there!

Aaron wow that's a nice Ruth! Super strong 4.5.

I'm working on the T206 HOF portraits in 2-4 grade. Got these guys today...

:eek:

That's a really nice 149 Ruth. Been looking for one like that for a while.

I agree, Ed! Congrats on a nice pickup!

I watch that exact Demmitt for a long time!! Glad it ended up in good hands!!!

Thanks, Steve and David.

April Pick-ups. For some reason, started collecting Exhibits all of a sudden.

Nice cards Sam! You have a good eye.

+1 Great cards. I love the 21 Exhibit set!

Very happy to add this postcard (RPPC) to the collection. The card is georgous in hand, only minor blemish is small light right upper corner crease. Image is very sharp and glossy. I know it's in Lemke's book as 1920's PC, and mentions the #210 and how he's seated in cane chair etc... Just curious if anyone had anymore info on this PC if it may be part of a series? Maybe something to do with the movies? Would love to hear any ideas on origin. Guesses on year(s) etc...

Picked up this Old Mill Wheat. It's a beater but I didn't have one. Hopefully can upgrade to a better one.

Hi Erick, nice pickup! I have one very similar to yours, but with just a slightly different back. Unfortunately, I can't add anymore than that.

Very nice Gary. That's interesting with the different back, thanks for the post!

..how much?

Nice one , Greg

Except Joey (hi Joey) has been warned multiple times for soliciting offers to buy, sell or trade on this board after promising not to, in order to be allowed back. He is not allowed on our BST forums for a reason (actually many reasons if I recall correctly). He had many selling and trading issues some time ago.
Granted it's been a few years but it seems the ban is still necessary. In essence he is skirting the rule in order to generate interest to sell things. At least that is the way it looks to me.

ps...I should add, otherwise in ordinary cases I agree with you 100%

Sideways Upgrade

...This one may be a tough sell to The WidowGarcia....from a " barely 'Fair' " to a solid "Fair".....in my opinion , by replacing a card with wrinkles on the face and horrid corners with one which has oh okay a few faint stains but now the wrinkle is 'way over on the neck and the corners are really decent ( for a fair card )......right about here is where I started babbling " homina homina homina ".

... 1936 R314 Goudey Wide Pen Premiums Luke Appling Type 2 .

Poor man's T206

Nice Plank Greg. That's one sharp card!

I've never understood why more pre-war collectors don't collect the Sweet Caporal Domino Discs (PX7). This was an especially tough one for me in trying to complete the set but I found it and bought it this week.

+1

Thanks board member sea blaster! 2 down 14 to go!

Picked up this Green/Black toned '37 Feller to go with my Blue toned example.

Nice 1911 Eddie Plank PSA 6.

Further testament that this site is awesome. I had missed a 1914 Zeenut variation that I needed on ebay and when I figured it out the buyer (a board member) sent it to me for "future considerations." You can't get better members than we have here!

1.) I had the Large image of Leard but needed the "small" Leard...
http://starsofthediamond.com/14zeeleardpair2.jpg

2.) I used me "ebay Bucks" to get a card I had always wanted (admittedly NOT baseball, but the Stanley Cup playoffs are going on so why not!). 1932-33 O'Keefe's Beverage Ltd. Coaster of King Clancy...

... no player's name on either the front nor the back but that's okay because no one except Chuck Klein looks like Chuck Klein.....

...The seller said he thought it might be from the 1933 All Star game. Sounds about right. Others on here would know for sure so thanks guys....

..The Orcajo Dimaggio with the curious stains on the back is just in the scan for scale ; I've had it for years ; I bought it back when I had money..

Recently upgraded my CJ Wagner to this one via trade with board member...

One closer to my HOF set.

http://i1269.photobucket.com/albums/...srhsyd7jd.jpeg

Some 1909 Minneapolis Tribune Supplements, and a bit OT, but related to the baseball series, some T226 Red Sun boxing.

What does PUGLISTIC mean?

Boxing puppies or something :)

Rhett:

Beauty, eh? :D

Kevin

Being one of the worst spellers ever, I always enjoy the misspelling of Puglistic !!! The T226s are great cards, used to own a few, now only Young Donahoe. I'd would have hated to be the copywriter who made that mistake :rolleyes:

Although it is still better than the T225s, were someone misspelled the company name !!! Khedivial vs. Khedival :p

nothing much added here ..................

How embarrassing is this?
http://www.ptbocanada.com/journal/2016/3/29/polce

That is one of the things that attracts me to these cards. And the names, I mean who wouldn't want to be known as "Fighting Dick?"

Aaron, congrats on the Ruth. That's a real beauty!

A.J. all four of those ports have great eye appeal, especially the Lajoie. That's another example of how harsh PSA's being with their grading right now. Presents much better than its grade.

Sam, I've been considering some exhibits, myself. They'll need to wait a while, but they seem to be a slightly more affordable option. I especially like that Wajo. And your Huggins port is a real blazer.

Erick, nice upgrade on the Wagner.
