Fun, fun, Scott :rolleyes:

hindu merkle
 

cool pickup! I have one myself. I wonder why all such cards have orange instead of red backgrounds? When I purchased mine years ago I thought I was getting a rare color variation.

Nice Buehler Bros. backstamp on that Hindu.

Pete, I was actually going to start a thread about this recently. I think the Brown ink used on the Hindus might have something to do with why so many Orange instead of Reds are found on the Hindu's.

The Red color is by far the color that is most effected by chemicals and sunlight on T206's and I think that's what happened with the Hindu's depending on the conditions
(how dry the fronts were and atmosphere conditions etc....) when the backs were printed. I don't know anything about the inks used but I thought maybe
there was a different chemical used in the Brown Hindu ink.

Recent win from REA. Happy to add this one to my subset!

Reholders
 

Agreed Phil. This is the third Hindu Buehler Bros. I've seen. I like to think the brothers were kids that collected together as the examples I've seen include Hindu, Piedmont, Sweet Cap, Old Mill and even an E98. I'd expect a regular smoker to stick to one main brand if he collected the cards.

Scott, I hope you don't mind I added your stamp to my project/website.

Great start to the month- seems t206 is all the rage.

Should arrive in a few days. When cards get crazy expensive but the addict in you can’t help himself, buy Ruth (safest option in this crazy market)

Fantastic card Ryan.

Love all the T206's!

Ryan, great Ruth!

T206’s continue to rule the roost.

Great Ruth Ryan. Congrats……..

Great pick up Ryan.

Thanks Guys. Chris, do you have something to post?

Awesome card Ryan! Great pick up.

Nothing kills a thread faster than a W9316 strip card... :o

An upgrade to the Schalk that I already had came today.

nice babe ryan! I kinda want that one for my ruth holding ball size run...but it's getting too dear!!!!

T212-3 John Tiedemann Obak
 

Thanks to Kris for this nice 1911 Obak!

I'm officially a hoader on this card.

Patrick

Awesome Ruth Ryan, congrats.

Great pickups so far this month, everyone! I recently got the green color variation of this card graded by PSA. Here it is along w/ the red and b/w ones. Hopefully, this finishes the color run for this card.

A great looking Obak Patrick. The 1911 Tiedemann is one of my (many) favorite Obak cards.

Brian

Also finally picked up a w516-2-2 Ruth to complete the w516 run.

Great Ruths Gary. I never knew some of the w516s seem to depict Ruth as a righty, while others correctly show him as a lefty. Are these different poses/different parts of his wind up? Or are they just reversed images?

Honestly, I never gave these cards any real thought, but looking at them all lined up like that, it’s cool that they are one of the few images out there of Ruth as a pitcher.

Very cool Gary!

Great cards as always Gary!!!! Welcome to the W516 club!!

Ryan, these are just reversed images, as the copyright text is backwards on the cards where Ruth is throwing right-handed.

+1 agree

Thanks, everyone, for the comments!

Jim, I love your W516 run also. I think I sold you a couple of those cards! :) Also, the W516-2-3 is always the toughest one, and you have a very nice copy.

Yep, as Jim said, in a previous post, they are just reversed images.

Fun mail day. Group of T206 beaters and 3 OJs, two Des Moines poses I needed and an actress.

A beautiful Hindu to join my OM counterpart -- THANK YOU CHRIS B!!

That Hindu is a beaut!
Congrats! :)

Congrats Waz! Glad it went to a good home :cool:

Had to stay up late and battle for this one. Thanks to the under-bidder for letting me have it.

Wow Rob, you don't see those very often, congrats on the pick up.

Wow Great Stuff already being posted.

I feel left out. Lol.

I struck out in Jan, and probably the same in February

All I can do is cheer on our team

Keep them coming

BST pickup, thanks Mark

Finished my 1921 Exhibits run with a nice Cobby and added one to my Piedmont Portrait run.

Lucky 7s
 

Greg B.
Lucky 7s indeed! Those 4 T206s are fantastic....Love the Shag!!!!

Congratulations!!

Nice Phil. I like the color fade on the Tinker, and of course the Cobb is fantastic.

Thanks Andy & Chad, nice pick up on the T3 too Chad.

I was finally able to add Red Faber to my HOF rookie collection. I have seen the M101-4 many times, but rarely an M101-5 like this one.

Man, I’ve been snooping around for a Tinker portrait. Yours takes the cake.

Great card Ryan did you grab this from Tony? Congrats another absolute beauty.

Lajoie T3
 

Probably my nicest possession, including my car.

That's gorgeous.

Great Lajoie!! Feel free to post it in the T3 Turkey Red Gallery thread too. We wrapped it up a week ago but your Nap would be a very worthy edition. Congrats!

I did like Merkle...but now I'm fond of Dutch =)

The highest graded of this card.

+100!

Picked up a few random cards in an auction.

Great card wow. I've been looking for one of these myself and this is the first one I've ever seen.

The Real "Dutch Leonard"
 

Picked up this M101-5 of the "first" Dutch Leonard. He set the AL record for lowest ERA in a season at 0.96 in 1914. Also, famously, had an ongoing feud with Ty Cobb. Was a great pitcher who became a grape growing millionaire! Many consider this his rookie card.

That Tinker is so nice. What is wrong with SGC??

Thanks, Phil, nice cards this month all, even the w9316 or whatever they are called. I have one as a type and actually like the artwork on them. I think they call it post-impressionist.

Thanks Josh, I love when a card like that takes a grading hit for whatever reason, keeps it reasonably priced. I think its the white spot on the right hand side and/or what looks like printing registration marks mid border. For me, the card hits everything important to me, centering, color, and registration.

That's a great point and I feel same. You get all the all the feeling you would get from a higher graded card at a better price point.

approx. 5 1/2 x 7 1/2, cardboard stock

M101-5
 

These are cheaper than they should be...

Every last one is awesome! Nice batch of m101-5s, congrats

Via one good old fashioned trade. Getting closer. Thanks Mark.

My recent FOMO impulse buys.

Just picked up a group of these Casey at the bat ink blotters….believed to be from about the 1930’s or so.

Great cards by all. Putting a dent in T206 HOF group here last couple weeks.

Nice pick ups Dave.

Dave, nice seeing you post. Great T206 HOFers.

That apple green Matty is amazing!

Hi Guys !!!

It was just pointed out to me (by our fearless leader !!!), how I spelled "thread" in this month's title.

I didn't realize, but not surprised at all.

I was a dyslexic before dyslexia was cool --- Spelling and I don't get along very well .......... :p

But then again, we can still "tread" along with these great cards .......... ;)


Fun, fun, Scott :rolleyes:

How close are you Ed? And bust of luck closing it out.

I just figured you were Itralian...

Sockalexis

A little find, new to the hobby

First Goldin purchase in a while

Very nice Ryan

Great piece congrats.

The Sockalexis is nice. Is that a postcard? Nice one, Ryan, can't go wrong with Cobb. I was looking at lot 113, the Ruth montage group with what I think was an e122 Walter Johnson. Looks like it has some break value. Their website is much easier for me to navigate past all the new stuff.

In this 'tread' your motto could be: Don't Thread on Me

Brian

Nice team photo! I have a related postcard about Sockalexis.

Yes, real photo postcard. This one (obviously) postally used, I don't love the cancel mark on the front but I do prefer used postcards, I love how they are located in time and space. (This one: Postmarked June 1907, Waterville, ME, with a mention in the inscription of Indian Island, where he grew up.)

There are a number of examples out there, I've seen 4 or 5, here and in auctions, and someone mentioned having a couple others. (Also: I never would have recognized this if not for posts about it here, so thank you net54!)

The gravestone pc is nice, I've never seen that one.


David

Beautiful cards-congratulations!

A couple pick ups from REA.

Both of these were picked up for their reverses.

Nice wrong back and a tough black 30 T202.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...31694cac03.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...ac4dfab721.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...bcbab823dd.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...4d41bdef1c.jpg

Nice little addition to the West Coast type collection, BST pick up, thank you Dave.

Damn Ryan nice snag. I was watching this one. Glad I didn't try to bid against you. Amazing pose of Cobb!
