Thanks to the board member who helped me get these. I am now over the half century mark.

500th post and new picks
 

I thought I'd celebrate my 500th post with some of the latest familytoad incomings.

T204 Collins courtesy of B & L auctions
E96 Mack, E210-2 York Caramel Sisler and Goslin ,T205 Schlei, and T206 Marquard just came back from a big SGC submission. I've had Marquard close to 20 years. Nice, eh?

Congrats, Brian! Nice numerical determination by SGC on your Rube, and that's a sharp, clean image on the T204.

Haming it up over here.

Give me Ham on net 54 & hold the mayo... This chap's waistline is as wide as his shoulders... Yet another great T210 image.

My first 2 RPPCs. The top is opening day in York Pa in 1913. The bottom is the 1906 York team photo with several ML players

Nice pick up Jason!

B&L Auction pickup...last card I needed to finish off the E91B set:

Urban Shocker? Wow!

You could pair that up with an Obak Ten Million and you can start a weird name collection.

Thanks Jeremy and TBob.I missed out on one a month or two ago and I'm glad I was able to pick up another one.Every T210 pose has a story to tell.At least that's what I like to believe.Take care guys.

Rob, congrats on the E91B set!

Thanks Jon!!

Good job Rob, on E91.

I received this card today from a board member.

The top 3 are the usual $75 rare cards that I like to buy.

The imperial cabinet below is actually sharper than this scan shows. This scan is from the catalog because the cabinet is already stored away in a dark, climate-controlled place. It looks like it should be in a museum, but they would need to keep it in dark storage as well.

Rick,
Nice looking group of T206s.

Greg, just a beauty!!

Detroit Boy
 

For this I owe Gary Passamonte full credit and much gratitude. While I may never be able to positively identify the boy, I suspect he may have been the team mascot for either the NL Detroit Wolverines (1881-1888) or, perhaps more likely, the International Association Detroit Wolverines (1889-90) who would regularly visit Buffalo to play the Bison BBC. Both teams did have mascots at various times. If not a mascot, perhaps he is the son of a player. I also originally thought maybe a News Boy but it appears they (News Boys) almost always wore the newspapers name if a jersey was purchased as opposed to just the city.

Thank you Gary! Not only did you pick up something on my behalf but only asked for your cost in return, a very reasonable cost at that.

Joe - I'm glad you have that. In the wrong hands it would turn into a 'Ty Cobb' rookie card!

That is sweet Joe! Congrats on a great pickup.

That cabinet is in the right place, Joe.

Recent Hindu SL pickup (B&L)
 

Look at these
 

Much thanks to the board member who gave me an unbeatable deal on 52 commons and this HOF sheet! Got about 100 or so and I started chasing the monster about a month ago!

These are from Collector's Cove. Diamond S and No. 7 cigar cards have been on my want-list for a long time. I had always thought that they were postcard sized, but they are about the size of a 1956 Topps card.

Cool cabinet Joe. Kudos to Gary.

The kid probably was traveling with the team, I can't think of another reason a kid in Buffalo would be sporting a Detroit uni.

E92 Nadja
 

First E92 Nadja HOFer...Picked up at the White Plains show this morning.

Nice Bender.:)

Congrats on the pickup.

Is that a ghost next to Ty Cobb? :D

The ghost looks like Kiernan :eek:

1969 Topps Mantle (white letters) PSA 9oc
 

I always thought this was an extremely tough card. According to PSA pops, it's the only 9oc with only 4 straight 9's...

Goodwin pickups
 

my first N162 and a Musial
Rob

Decent OJs
 

The McGlone was previously posted raw last month but re-posting now that I've had the whole group graded.

Perhaps the nicest condition N172s I've ever had the pleasure to call my own with "like new" fronts and backs. These all came from a small collection in the UK. The seller, Lee Graves, found these buried with actress cards at an estate sale. He wasn't the only one to notice so the lot didn't go cheap but he still made out. Neat little treasures.

:eek::eek:...those look pack fresh. Congrats!

Nice Joe! It looks like you won them all... I was the underbidder on the mays. (I think, or maybe the 2nd)

Joe, that is some gorgeous high-grade stuff! That Duffy is superb. Well done!

Joe

Just woke up here in Fla, turn on Forum, and see the group of OJ's. Beautiful lot.

Wow!Very nice OJ's.Congrats on the new pickups.

T206 Mullaney
 

Just got this one back from SGC today:

Those OJs are sick.

Officially at 50% of the way through my E210 set.

Wow! Gorgeous cards! :eek:
JimB

I love the pack-fresh OJ's. Hard to beat.

My 4th T210 Catcher (Kunkel, Danville)
 

Picked up a T210 Kunkel (Danville) to add to my T210 catcher collection. So far I have 4 Series 2 catcher cards showing catchers with chest protectors.

Patrick

T212-3 William Harris
 

Also received a nice 1911 William Harris Obak in the mail today. It completes my run of catchers in all the teams in both the P.C.L. and the N.W.L. in the 1911 Obak set. Have most in catcher poses but needed a few portrait shots and 3 batting poses to complete the run.

Patrick

Joe, just wow! They look way better than the scans from ebay congrats amazing cards!

The Detroit mascot...just icing on the cake green with envy over here great pick ups. :)

Cheers,

John

UK OJs
 

John, Jim B, et al.

Thank you! It was and is a pleasure to see these cards survive in this condition. There are certainly many other good looking OJs, some being in your collections, but always nice to see the population grow. On average, it seems that the cards that have been cared for by the British have fared better than those here in the States. Unfortunately, not many have been cared for by the Brits. I do wonder when these cards found their way to Britain. Was a British collector responsible for the cards crossing the Atlantic or did Goodwin send a small number of cards in their export products? I suspect a collector was responsible for the cards crossing the Atlantic shortly after they were produced. Interestingly, all but one card from the grouping of ten were from 1889, the lone exception being Radbourne's 1887 card which had a little more wear on it (but still beautiful). I bid on what I felt were the highest graded examples, especially those with a healthy border size. I won each one I bid on except the final card, Swartzel, as my total bill was adding up quickly and I wasn't 100% comfortable with buying outside the US. Congrats to those who won the other five examples, they were all good buys.

This was at home waiting for me last night...

Thanks to Buckler Cards for this Matty Cycle!...it's a nice companion piece for my Matty Carolina Brights.

Picked up these 2 tonight.

I can't beat those Old Judges that Joe picked up, but I did grab a nice item this week...my first (and only) Honus Wagner card!

It's a 1909 R.W. Johnston Studios Triple-Fold PC (postally used in 1909). When fully expanded, the PC width is too large for my scanner, so I showed only two of the panels (one of which includes Wagner, third from end).

Michael,
Those are two nice Mattys!
JimB

Picked up my first Mayo's Cut Plug. Been looking for an affordable one for a while, and this one fit the bill.

T205
 

Trying to collect the T205 HOF subset. Here's a Collins mouth closed I just picked up...

+1 Beauties Michael!

Great stuff everyone !!

Thanks again for the great deal Mike (freakhappy), I've been wanting this card for awhile. Also glad to add another from the 150 series :)

Sincerely, Clayton

Nice card Clayton.
I hope all is well, Mike.

Thanks Mike !! :)

All is well with me, hope all is going well for you.

Drop me a line sometime, it'd be great to hear from you !!

Sincerely, Clayton

Pretty nice 1932 Fay Thomas Zeenut I picked up. It has his autograph on the back. Not sure if that is going to help it or hurt it. Any thoughts?

Attachment 93778

Attachment 93779

Thanks Jim & Chris! i suppose i might need to get a few more backs of this Matty pose now. could be a fun (yet pricey) run. :)

PS- "Hit" #600 for me on Net54. ;)

Pete - Great Mantle, congrats!

Like the Zeenut with the auto and tab too.

Nice Zeenut Aaron!

My first HOF player from N172 ...

and a couple of T210-7s

Nice cardboard everyone!

A decent "Sleepy Bill".:)

Nice Red Border pickups TBob and Rob.Great looking examples.Here is one of a few I picked up this week.

This sat on ebay for quite a while, with no takers. I finally did the BIN. The AZO stamp box on the reverse dates it to 1904-18. I'm thrilled with it.

(I'm reasonably certain that Andy did NOT hit a home run with this swing)

**will replace with better pics

Actually Andy should be 'out' as his right foot is on the plate. Nice RPPC.
