1892 Rochester 'in action' albumen
 

Just got this, and it's already one of my favorites - Sunday, August 2, 1892 game at Seneca Park, Rochester NY, showing a ball hit to third, runners advancing from 1st and 2nd, and the 3rd baseman about to field the ball as the runner approaches.

Also interesting in that the city of Rochester banned baseball (I'm guessing just professional) in 1885, then lifted the ban in 1892. A few years later they banned Sunday games.

6"x10" albumen cabinet had the border trimmed ages ago:

Amazing cabinet, Scott!

W503
 

W503.......I really like this series...

Scott,

****** UNREAL action shot !!!! *****

It never ceases to amazes me, that 100 ++ years later we all can recognize a baseball play (looks like a tough force out at third).


Although I think you have your Rochester "no ball" gap off a few years: According to Baseball Reference, Rochester had no ball between 1881-84.

Those dates sparked a little neuron in my head cavity, since I always thought Rochester has had the longest continuous season streak of any minor league team (1885-present). Second, I believe, is Winston-Salem (1945-present), but could easily be proven wrong.

Thanks, I got the dates from googling - didn't think of checking baseball- reference.com

Picked up another Red Cobb. Its a Sweet Caporal 350-460. As always, looking for more.

Bob - 2 really nice looking 10's ! Also pretty tough to find as well. Congrats on those 2 toughies.

For sale: Gently used harpoon...
 

Not often I post to this thread lately, but yesterday was a great day for mail.

For starters, a white whale was landed. I have been hunting this card for years...a HUGE thanks to Mike for making it available back in October, and to Trae for safe-keeping it for me.

And not to be overshadowed, a couple more T206 Kelleys for a bit of a back run [which includes a T213-2 and a T215-2]. Thanks for those Trae!

Many thanks to Kevin Mize for working with me and putting this beautiful card in my collection. I've no idea why it's graded "only" VG/EX but can't imagine I'd have it if it weren't...

Congrats, tbob.

Just received two raw T206's from Mickey Mantlo: Doyle, hands over head, and O'Hara New York. Gorgeous cards at a good price - the cards look even better in-hand than in the scans, and I have been looking for upgrades for both.

Picked up the two "error" cards at local card shows.

Postcard with black umpire
 

Kind of uncommon:

Jason - That Waymack is undergraded ! (Really nice fat borders)

Nice double play trio, Jeff. Those are nice!

Here are a few postcards I've picked up recently.
• The John Mcgraw folding PC is from 1907 (a suit for $18.00!)
• The 1907 Detroit Tigers PC is kind of funny, this is how I read the back: "We are waiting for the brat to leave. The weather is fine here this morning"
• The NY Giants PC is c.1915 (Larry Doyle & Arlie Latham?)

#225
 

Thanks for the trade Chris!

Thanks Jeremy im catching Red Border Fever.

That Weimer is a beauty - a great example of the Horner portraits!

Nice Detroit pc Jeff, I like how you can see Cobb on the far right.

A couple E121's

1910 D322 Tip Top Bread O'Connor
 

Received my Goodwin & Co. auction winnings today: Paddy O'Connor D322


Thanks Bill!


Patrick

Thought this was a great-looking Foxx, and I had never owned one, so I pulled the trigger earlier this month. Doesn't really fit into anything I'm working on though, so I'm listening to offers.

Any time you can pick up T213s for less than the same card sells for as a T206, you have to feel good :)

Another one of my non-baseball, yet baseball related pick-ups...

Thank You, Eric:

3 more off the list
 

3 more off the list (Heilmann, Vance, Lazzeri), 3 more to go to complete my HOF Zeenut rookie set (Southworth, P. Waner, Cochrane)...

Derek,

Nice pickups.

Received these three in the mail today!

Thanks to Shammus for a good transaction!

I picked up this much tougher E121/80 WaJo pose from a Board member (thanks again, Matt) via eBay.
Val

Great pick-ups, Derek!

wow - you send them 400 Kalamazoo Bats baseball cards, and you get....an umbrella. If I was digging through my g-g-g-grandfather's trunk and found a Kalamazoo Bats umbrella, I think I would cry.
