Why?

Congrats on the pickups BTW.

I had my eye on the Pastorius--very nice looking card for the grade.

Always glad to add series 7 and 8 T210s to the set.

Me, too, b***b( 6469).

I always wanted to get a card of Ken Williams. I never thought it would be a Zeenut.

Bad cutting day at the National Caramel Co. back in the early 20's but I love the card. :)

love the Von der Ahe. great stuff everybody!

Just got this back from BVG; now I can let my kids play with it and not worry about it getting damaged :)
Those spots are from the BVG baggy; I wish they had done a better job of making it flat.

congratulations on two very nice acquisitions!
that t206 is as nice a vg as you could ever find :cool:
and, i think the maple crispette is spectacular :D

Thanks Mark
 

I didn't waste any time replacing the red Cobb I sent you. Not nearly as tough of a back, but that OK.... Yes, the Cobb V117 is very nice. Cant wait to get it in hand. Thank you Mark :)

101 to go........
 

Another tough SL'er scratched off my list.....423 down, 101 to go. What a MONSTER!! Thank you Dan Collins. Tim.

Picked up these odd circa 1920's Japanese menkos. What is a menko, you may ask? Beats me but here is a reference that might shed some light on these "battle-scarred gaming pieces" (check it out if only for the Fatty Arbuckle menko): http://www.dking-gallery.com/menko/

Don't think I posted these yet. Picked up a couple of Buchner Gold Coins as type cards.

Last but not least is the Boston American postcard of Jake Stahl which Adam B. offered up for auction recently. Scan is at BST Auction thread: http://www.net54baseball.com/showthread.php?t=113178

I'm to lazy to scan it today, but I was able to get:

T206 Joss with a SC 350-460 Factory 25 PSA 4.
For some reason, this has been an extremely tough card for me to track down. This was only the second one I have found in over a year of looking, and the other was a beater. This puts me at 29 T206 backs (5 Chase, 1 Merkle, 1 Shag, 22 HOFers).

I also added this EPDG Collins. Anyone have an Old Mill Collins???
Take care,
Bob
Take a look at the T206 HOFers and my favorites backs line;

Just got this one in the mail.My first Southern Leaguer!

1937 Baseball Magazine Player Posters - Bob Feller
 

I always liked these.

Happy to pick this one up today. Not the greatest condition but my collection was missing a Dogs Head pack...

Love the big groups! I snagged the t210 series 5 and 7 groups off Ebay a little bit ago. The series 7 group includes that neat Kelly Mascot card too...

And the rest of the pics. Mantle signed the team photo in gold sharpie with MVP 1956

I must have missed it, when did SGC start grading S74 silks.:o

Joe

Just received this in the mail yesterday, an 1895 Springfield Ponies Premium w/Jack Chesbro pictured in his first professional baseball season (piece is a little too big for my scanner)........

Thanks, Paul

Happy with this Ramly

my second T3....

Posted this on the E90-1 thread already, but it's a new pickup that just came, so I'll put it here as well.

PSA thought it was an E90-1, but methinks it's an E90-2...

Nice find Scott - indeed an E90-2!

Great Ramly, Michael. Congrats!

Just got it in the mail today

Crescents
 

Pete, congrats on picking up both Crescent variations. The "The Perfect Food" variation is a new discovery with only three cards known to exist. Wondering if you have found a fourth, can you post front scans?

Here's a link to the five Crescents I once owned still listed on SGC registry for reference. I also researched and wrote a short introduction on the Vancouver "Hanbaury baseball team" which can be viewed with the cards.

Biscuit picks up this week:

That's quite a week, Bob.

#519. Big honkin' tear, but seems to present fairly well regardless.

O'Hara or bust.

Just back from SGC.......... (Toledo w/Joe McCarthy)

Nice finds Phil - that Toledo club was loaded with major leaguers - though a lot were short timers.

those are amazing Phil, all three!

From last night's auction

A few more holes filled in the set. Thanks Keith.

Just back from SGC............

Already had this card in a 40 holder but as pointed out so often, how can you pass up a card like this which is dirt cheap?

Bob,
Nice biscuit pickups ! and the Graham too

Great pickups Phil....you're snagging some great photos and postcards lately.

a T210 Pickup

My first pickup's in quite some time as I have been fully devoted to obtaining as many deceased HOF Rookie Auto's as possible and they're all post-WWII era. On a little side note: if anyone has any deceased HOF RC Auto's PLEASE pm me, ok, here are my pickups

one for my HOF Rookie collection
