Nice Grimshaw!

Picked up a few Old Judges this month.I really like these cards and wish I had the means to seriously collect the set.

Hey Jason

Nice card(.......love that pose..)

a simple but nice looking T210-1:

Thank you Joe I was thinking maybe I could do a Washington Team Run.

Also Todd nice T210.I really like the high grade Red Borders.I bought a couple from the same dealer awhile back.

Washington team run would be cool, a couple Hall of Famers, some cool poses and Paul Hines. Not too many tough cards, but it may take awhile for some players like Boyce for example. I tried a Pittsburgh run and never got the Deacon White card before he made the HOF, so I screwed up there (sad trumpet)

Pete, those are my favorite Ruth and Wagner card images and that Cobb is probably only second to the E95. Great pick-ups.

Pickups
 

Thanks Scott!

Todd- nice pickup. Don't get too interested in this set :p

Thanks Jason and TBob. You know me, I love those black and white cards. The striking red borders of T210 might be a little too much color for me---oh well, I could always trim 'em off. :rolleyes:

a few postcards and photos
 

The first is a 1908-09 Rose Co. postcard of Eddie Grant with rare overprinted advertising on the reverse. Eddie was a Harvard graduate, major league baseball player, lawyer, Army enlistee to fight in World War I, and a war hero killed in action. Look him up.

The second is not baseball, of course, but since I was posting the Grant I thought I'd include it since it's an interesting one. It's postmarked 1909.

The last few are mystery photos of African American baseball coming from a photo album of 1930's+ era Atlanta material. Anyone recognize uniforms or place?

Just one pre-war card thus far this month, but I really like it. Thank you, Jason!

Scored from a small mom & pop auction house. Long story but no one there except me knew what these were. Now off to get graded.

deuce I hope those r good...the red ruth looks weird to me?

Yeah, that one doesn't look good :( Something about the Gehrig doesn't either. Hope I'm wrong.

or did they? Hope you didn't pay too much or can get a refund!

I don't think any of those cards are authentic.

Yes, I am sure they knew exactly what they were. I would guess value approaching .25 each, depending on the bidders.

I've got a 33 Goudey Ruth (#53) that I've had for a few years. I've looked it over many, many times trying to find anything "wrong" with it.

I finally boxed it up and shipped it off to SGC yesterday. I'm scared... someone hold me.

Sorry to say it but the Gehrig is a reproduction :(

I didn't pay much for them so if they come back as fake, repros, etc. I'm not out an arm and a leg. I haven't even cracked them out of the screwdowns yet. Sorry about the scan. The red Ruth is a little faded but not as much as what the scan shows. Also picked up 55 Bowman Mays, Aaron, and Banks, 57 Topps Mantle, and 58 Topps #418 Mantle and Aaron.

Just got it in the mail today...
 

Always love this exhibit of Ruth.

[QUOTE=Jason;1186473]Thank you Joe I was thinking maybe I could do a Washington Team Run.

Hi Jason - Nice N172 O'Brien card. But, you really should stick to T210s until you complete all 8 series before you embark on a N172 Washington team set ('cause I don't need any more competition)!! :D

In addition to HOFers Mack and O'Day, "Dummy" Hoy is in the Wash. N172 team set. And, there are a few 2-player cards, which are rather tough to find.
Best,
Val

[QUOTE=ValKehl;1187324]No worries Val.I looked up the checklist and it was a bit daunting.Im still in it for the long run on the T210's.Im a little over half way.

Not exactly the most famous card but one of the coolest action shots ever. Coughlin, Dietsche PC. It's an SGC 80.

Another example of kind of card I love--very cool image, great color and good centering. Doyle, e101.

Nice pick up matt

some relatively recent pickups...

While I am certain that every other card in this thread is more valuable than my latest pickup, I just cannot believe how much I have fallen in love with this little piece of cardboard. This is the first ungraded T206 I've ever owned, and as I pulled it out of it's top loader and penny sleeve tonight, and held it in my hands, the history of this little common overwhelmed me. I started to think about the travels this card must have taken. The rounded corners, scrapes, stains and dimples on the front and back tell a story. Who first pulled it out of a pack of Piedmont tobacco back in 1909 or 1910? Who may have owned this card, and where? It's a feeling I haven't gotten from any of the graded cards I've added. They, too, are beautiful, but there is something to be said for being able to feel a card in your hand, and smell it. It's just an amazing feeling.

Nice pickup Matt!

Bill, that's what got me hooked on low grade/beater T206s. Especially holding a small stack of 20-50 raw cards!

Thx, Vez and Pete-- my buddy calls it "The Poor Man's T206!"

Nice haul Chris, especially like the JuJu Cobb.

wow, great stuff Chris!

Great pickups Chris. Love all of them.

Picked up last night. Filled a couple of holes in sets.

Picked up another Dutch Revelle to fill the hole in my raw Colts subset.

Another HOF
 

Thanks Zach:

Thanks simas7173!

killed another set
 

or at least the smaller part of a two-part set -- something tells me the B&Ws won't be happening anytime soon.
