This is a milestone for me, as this is my first submission to SGC. These were purchased raw off the B/S/T and the sellers did an awesome job of pricing them according to condition. Do you guys recognize your former cards?

A nice couple of EE-YAHs from today's National.

Hey Jody,

I do indeed recognize that T206 Ritter and remember discussing your state's Governor, who was having a very interesting week (I believe he'd just returned home from a 4000 mile hike to the less frequented Pampas section of the Appalachian Trail) when I sold you that card. Glad it graded out to your satisfaction.

Hey Anthony,
Yes I'm very happy with the grades on both cards, I was hoping that the corners on the Ritter might get me a 3, but I understand the stains and creases were probably too much to overcome. I am impressed with your and Matt's "grading eye", as it seems to be dead on.

203 ... 204 ...
 

As described in the "Collecting Spirit" thread - many, many thanks to two board members for two of the last three T207's I need...

Rob D - I owe you

and Bill T - thank you again!

Big thanks to Jermey !!
Less than 2 weeks ago, I didn't even know this "Savannah" card existed, now I own it :)

Fun, fun, Scott

That's sweet, Scott!

I didn't either, and will have to add another Pirate variant to my list :eek:

Quan,

Feel free to lay off the Lajoies in the future.

Jody - glad your grading experience was positive. After getting surprised on my first SGC submissions I've honed my understanding of their grading scaled and have rarely been surprised the last few years.

Not sure if it is you who collects the Howie stamped back cards but one member does and may be interested in your T206 young

Quan,

Ed McCollum is the "Howe McCormick" collector. I haven't seen him on the board for a couple of weeks, but I sent him an email.

His board name is StuckinOmaha. His email is: edmccollum@cox.net

Cooperstown and Cleveland Shows
 

At Cooperstown, I talked with Yogi Berra, Jim Bunning and Roger Clemens. Clemens and his family were dining at
the same restaurant as we were. Roger was a real friendly guy and we got several photo shots of him with us.

Here are some of the more notable cards I bought or traded for in Cooperstown.........

Including this T206 Johnson with a PIEDMONT 460 Factory 42 back....it is only the 2nd one that I know of.

I didn't pick-up any cards in Cleveland....but, sold a lot of cards (mainly T206's)....to many Net54er's.
Thanks guys for a great National.

The vintage signature on the Davis is great! Congrats!

Thanks!
Davis has eluded me for a long time. I just need Luke Sewell standing and Ill have every players signed in the 1933 goudey set that died after Dizzy Dean.

Picked these up from a board member. Very happy with the purchase.

how many of these out there?

Closing in on 50 PCL catcher cards
 

Picked up a couple of 1910 Obaks today.

Thanks again Anthony S!


Patrick

That Dugdale is fantastic! I love the background in it.

Thanks for sharing!
Brian

Thanks guys.
JimB

Many thanks to Jeff Prizner for picking this up for me at the National.

My pleasure Paul, glad it arrived safely!

ps - many thanks to Brian Marcy of Scottsdale cards for taking and sending pics for me!

Great OJs Jim - they display beautifully!

horizontal CJ !

I'm not an autograph guy by any means, but I made an exception in this case. Many thanks to Toby for the heads-up.

Another one down; way too many left to go.

Rob - I'm not that big of an autograph collector either but that is a sweet Lajoie you picked up.

RC

Love the Lajoie.

Thank You, Brian for the E126 and Thank You, Kyle for 1923 Shoulderless cards:

Brian - I really like that Sisler, congratulations.
This Double Play with Vander Meer is a nice addition to my Reds collection.

High grade
 

Finally got my first high grade T205 over a 6. Cost a mint but worth it. Now off to SGC in a month when I go up there and you all will get to see it again as a SGC graded card and in my registry.

I finally had some mail shipped to Arizona. I'm getting closer to all of the types. Thanks to all who have helped.

National pickups...

National Pickups -continued...

Andrew, that's a beautiful T205 Johnson. But if it cost you a mint you paid way too much. It should have cost you only a near mint to mint.

New Pick-up
 

new Brown to add to collection

Jim, is that Mahoney OJ trimmed? Just wondering how it did not get an Authenticate if it is.

Thanks Joe

To the "54" brig
 

Andrew, Nice "Mordecai" T-205.

I know this is not baseball but I can't help myself :D. I know there is a vintage Hockey site but it's not on this forum. Maybe someday we will have one but until then I am going to be a rebel every once in awhile to show my Hockey fixes.

Picked these up from Seth at 19th Century Only who IMO runs very nice Auctions.

Very nice Ice Kings, Michael. I've been known to post an IK or two in the past, so it's obviously OK with me anyway. I just need two more to finish the set, Thompson "Left Ear Showing" and Chabot "No Trees". Took me awhile to get used to the fact that the blade marks on the ice were not scratches on the card.

Piedmont Fac. 42
 

Picked this up off ebay.

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

From the National.

:D I got this at the east coast national. Very happy to add a nice key card to this set.

Picked up my 50th PCL/NWL vintage card last night
 

I picked up a 1910 Hugh "Kid" Smith Obak last night. It's my 50th PCL/NWL card. It's also my 4th Hugh Smith card. Here's the new one and the other 3.

I never thought my 30th 1914 CJ would be this one....
 

I have pretty much been a lurker on these boards, but the information provided has been invaluable to me....Thanks to all! Started collecting vintage BB cards about 5 years ago and finished all 240 cards of the 1933 Goudey set. I started collecting 1914 CJ's about a year ago, knowing that it would be a long endeavor. I did a triple, quadruple and quintuple take when I found this for sale. Pretty nice (I think) for a PSA 1!

Barry

The Pratt is a great pick up as he is one of if not the hardest card in that set to find. Plus he in a 1914 only card and one that I have been looking for. If you upgrade or want to sell LMK. Card looks grade for the grade, is there back damage?

James G

Nice Parent, Paul and nice pick ups on the others as well. You continue to amaze me with your finds.

Rawn

1914 CJ Del Pratt
 

James,

Thanks much for the complement on the 1914 CJ Del Pratt. The back of the card is almost nicer (IMHO) than the front. No tears, paper or corner loss, excessive caramel staining or folds. Along the mid right border of the front there may be what I would describe as a possible slight compression of the card paper, but nothing that really detracts from the overall eye appeal of the card. It was a complete fluke that I found this as a BIN when I did my periodic search on ebay. I am not optimistic that I will happen upon two unicorns in my collecting lifetime, but will certainly keep you in mind if that happens. I may actually try submitting the card to SGC to see their opinion as I think PSA was very harsh in their grading of the card. I knew I was purchasing a PSA 1, but was pleasantly surprised when I opened the box it was delivered in.

Barry

I picked up 20 T210s last week plus this card last night. (I'll post the scans of the T210s when they get back from SGC). This is not a pre-war card but I've always loved this card.

A few new pickups.... Chief Meyers pickup is auto only, already had card.

New additon to my collection.

Great Niles, Brad!


Finally landed a Cicotte/Thoney T201:

http://i139.photobucket.com/albums/q...tte_thoney.jpg

I've been chasing this card for a while. Of the available Sox cards, the background on this one really stood out.

Card #192 is also 192/240 of the '33 Goudeys for me.
http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w...alterBrown.jpg

Love the clarity of the print on this one.

a very big thank you to Rob D. ...


http://www.internetville.com/stuff/gehrig_front.jpeg

Matt,
I would love to see the clarity of the front...:) Is that a new label for SGC?

I love the Matty back as well
 

The clarity is great but the math is bad... When would a 37-1 record mean a
.771 winning percentage- shouldn't it be 37-11?

It should be 37-11; this is a T205 variation that just recently came into wide public view thanks to the Levy's on our forum. Legend has it that a dealer in the 70's knew about it and bought one for $1000, but it wasn't widely known until about a year ago. It's not quite as impossible as some would have you believe, but a tough T205 variation nonetheless. I assume that it will be cataloged in the next edition of the Standard Catalog but perhaps Bob Lemke can chime in.
