Rube!
 

Thanks Peter for a couple of Waddell placeholders!!!

Merkle
 

There is a very light crease from the top center down to his hair.

Always liked this card. You cant go wrong with HOF caramel cards. :D

Tom, I'm really digging the Grimshaw BL350 - nice card, amigo!

Thanks Trae.....I'm going to get both BL's graded and one will likely be sold.......

May pick ups...
 

Showed this card in another thread, but it's also a May pick-up. I like the pose.

Tannehill / Lord T202
 

Just got this gorgeous Tannehill / Lord T202 today. I thought I would start collecting the set, and had to start somewhere... ;)

Two more to go
 

Still need Boston Nationals and Cleveland American

Was finally able to acquire the Wilhelm "suffered" and the T202 was an unexpected pickup :D

Low Grade is OK with me
 

Cross another Tolstoi off the list, and another E91!

Thank You, Daryle:

just picked this one up

Impressive!

Actively collecting again after some time away...a couple of my first new pickups. Pretty excited about Matty, even with a little tape:

Thanks Daryl. This was the biggest one I had to cross of the list. Just Keefe and Ward to go.

nice one david, i hope you land the other 2!!:D

Best month
 

10 more T205s this month-
Thanks to board members that helped
me out this month, not only for the HOFs & commons
but some nice backs I didn't have.

It was a good Month of May....
 

Managed to use the "Best Offer" on an E106 Evers last week and this E106 Jennings this week.

Cy Young Autographed T206
 

This one took me about 3 years of coming up with good enough trade material! I big thank you to you know who you are....

T206collector, you have quite an impressive collection of signed T206s! I've always loved this card.

Auto'd T206 Cy Young
 

That's gorgeous! Congrats!

More Tolstoi
 

Thanks so much Andy G.!!

the Lake card looks like someone is robbing him... Hands up or I'll shoot!

Rob,
Is the "S" on that Snodgrass written in by hand? I picked up the "Nodgrass" variation too in a T206 lot where the "S" was written in in the period.
JimB

Thanks, guys! This was a really satisfying addition. But I don't think I'll feel "complete" without a Cobb....

Hey Jim,

At first glance it looks like it could be written in, but under close scrutiny I am almost certain the "S" was not written in.

Rob

Any leads? Do you know if one even exists?

T206 collector,
That is a beautiful card. I'm sure you had to give up quite a lot for it.
Congratulations are definitely in order.
Mark

My last pick-up for the month of May:

Leads, no. But I know of a few that exist. Not surprisingly the owners want nothing to do with getting rid of them any time soon!

But I'll make it worth their while!

Back is pretty rough and it's got the hole in the top of the card, but that's probably the only reason I could afford it :p . The color and front of the card is gorgeous in my opinion. I'll probably send it off to SGC just to have it in the holder. I know almost nothing about vintage grading, but I'd bet the best I could hope for is a 10, but it'll probably be an A.....or is it possible it wouldn't grade?

I'm normally not as big a fan of most of the T206 portraits, but I loved this one. I'm hoping to pick up a Hal Chase pink backround portrait as well as it's one of the few other portraits I like.

Walsh is my favorite t206 portrait as well. Your front actually is pretty nice. The hole just gives it flavor...looks like someone took a shot at him...and missed! :) Not to mention I like the idea of some kid pinning Ed Walsh to his wall way back when. You are now a keeper of that legacy.

T205 Trio !!!
 

From the forgotten set !!! Open Mouth from ebay and other two from Tony A!

My latest addition: I feel it is an O'Kay pick-up!

mike,
you always get the tough ones:D

Thanks to Steve S. for a smooth trade.
