So I've been out of the hobby for a year or so and am finally getting back in. All I can say is that this thread is unbelievably motivating. Absolutely amazing cards everyone!

Does anyone know why the Cubs are wearing the Whales old uniforms?

Very excited to pick this up from a board member. Just need my Teddy Ballgame for completion.

When the Federal League disbanded after the 1915 season, Charles Weeghman, who had been the owner of the Whales, purchased the Cubs and merged the rosters of the two teams. Apparently, the Cubs wore Whale uniforms during spring training, and during the season their uniforms had a new logo that was essentially the 1915 Whales' logo with a bear in place of the whale.

Thanks, Sean, thrilled with it. PSA/SGC pops have it slightly rarer than the Hindu (don't know if that relates truly to reality).

It actually is a "never say never" purchase. I've seen it many times on ebay over the mounts. BUT, it was a Dean's card (who I think has slightly :p over priced cards), so I never clicked on it. No indication of back in title. The other day, for some reason I finally clicked ----- Sov.150 !!!! Almost fainted. Went to his web-site and got it for a very decent price ...... :):)

Fun stuff, Scott :rolleyes:

Not a huge-ticket item, but I was happy to get my first EPDG for my Providence set. Looks nicer than the fuzzy scan shows.

Mino
 

Nice Mino Glenn.........Jerry

Very nice card!

VERY nice '41 PB Joe DiMaggio!! Congrats, and good luck obtaining a comparable Ted Williams to complete your set.

Finally got my winnings from Goldin:

This is interesting. I always thought that the Cubs purchased the ballpark (now called Wrigley Field) from the owner of the Whales. But it turns out that the owner of the Whales purchased the Cubs instead.

Real pretty card Sean, but man did Goldin take its time with you

I paid by check, so that slowed things I guess.

Thanks. Sold my only other Mino a couple of years ago. It's good to have that box marked on the type card checklist again.

It's been almost a half a year since I've been able to add any
 

I'm now at #409!!!

always have loved this Ruth

Neal, that is a beautiful and severely underrated Ruth. Lower grades of that card usually don't convey the beauty of the 32 Caramel set. This one maintained great color and registration. Congrats.

Thanks Orlando!

1912 Boles Zeenut
 

My Walter Boles 1912 zeenut arrived today from the recent Brockelman Auction. Now I have a punched one and a standard one.

Thanks Scott!

Very nice, much better that a Pratt.

OJ Radbourn upgrade
 

Happy to upgrade my Radbourn with this one. I presume the Goodwin Co. logo is trimmed off the bottom, thus why it received an "A"?

Question for the OJ folks however, was the bottom indeed likely cut off, or are there some variations where the bottom Goodwin text is just not included? There was a Galvin that sold the same night, which looked similar to this Radbourn. If the bottoms were cut off, was there perhaps some sort special offer related to sending them in? Just curious, and could not find explanations on line. Attachment 278516
