That's a really nice "1" Gehrig

Thanks! I'm hoping to get a bump to a 1.5. Maybe an outside shot at a 2.

Congratulations. Mine was also in a PSA 'poor' holder - I freed Lou and he looks much better in a top loader.

Slabbed 'poor' cards can really be a great buy, since 'poor' can mean almost anything. Picked this one up a few weeks ago:

comments and cards
 

Scott F- nice looking Gehrig there...

Packs- that is why I collect lower grade too. That card demonstrates precisely why you can't sell or make offers on lower end cards without seeing them. That card should sell for a 2+ price all day long.

And here are some W519s with wet sheet transfers on back. I already had the W519-1 Morton with full image on back. I notice someone is selling a very similar type card on ebay for 5k+. If anyone wants this one I will sell it for 4k, today only!!! :) (I paid $40 for it not too long ago, from Ed H.)

Got this puppy a couple days ago. Always fun to pick up a dozen balls from a HOFer

Thanks Dave !

Ebay win..:)

T207 Ted Easterly
 

This Ted Easterly T207 arrived today. I thought it was a classic catcher pose for the T207 set. Don't recall seeing this player before. Maybe one of the T-207 experts can chime in to whether or not this is a tougher T207 to find.


Patrick

Easterly
 

Hey Patrick,

Easterly is in the tougher half of the 155 Recruits - he's probably somewhere around the middle of that group.

Thanks Mike
 

Thanks Mike for the response!


Patrick

Patrick - good to see you again. I was kind of surprised you didn't go after my 1909 Pittsburg catcher cabinet photos. I have a catcher display I'm working on that's going to make you drool.

Sheboygan Postcard
 

recent pick-up:

http://runscott.homestead.com/PostCa...ygan_Photo.jpg

Just got this in off ebay.

http://www.net54baseball.com/picture...pictureid=5488

Out of curiosity, does anyone know if the B&W versions and sepia versions are on a different card stock? This seems to be a B&W version, and it also seems that the paper stock is a bit thinner/more flimsy than the others I have. When held horizontally, there is a noticeable sag where my others are rigid. All of my other W554 are the sepia version.

Thanks,
DJ

Set of HW Woodcuts
 

I won an auction for six Harper's Weekly woodcuts which showed up today. A nice little haul!

Six T206s back from SGC
 

This brings me to 187...

From whimper to whimper
 

I posted the first pickup of the year, which I identified as bringing in the new year with a whimper. I wanted to be the last post of the year, to end
the pickup festivities with a suitable tragic note. But due to time constraints I must post now. Thanks to Marc for the winsome Walsh, which when held aloft you can actually see light through the card in three places. I have included the Harmon that I also received from Marc so that all can see decent cards can be had from him as well. Happy Old Year!

Rounding Out the Year
