Latest Croft pick-up

Wowzer Bob. That red back Croft's Candy is deluxe!! Lionel Carter is a bonus.

Bob
 

If I didn't have a dupe of that one he'd still be mine. Great horizontal and a bright red Crofts back....Nice combo imo....:)

7TH HRK catcher
 

I felt fortunate to pick-up one of the 25 Home Run Kisses last night.

I won one of the Harry Price Home Run Kisses cards, which I felt presented better than the other one that sold for an identical price later in the evening.

I'm curious if any other board members picked up any of the group?

Here's my Harry Price HRK:

My Price HRK arrived today and it really presents well with my other 6 HRK catchers:

Here's my latest pickup, courtesy of one of my favorite sellers, Wayne Varner of Shoebox Cards ...

Thanks to Hank and Rick for the cards.

Another from Frohme. Got 17 more coming from Scott w 6 AB backs and others I needed for my set. Thanks for all the help with the back set as well as my registered set.

Andrew - keep it up, you'll have the set complete in no time!

Yeah till I hit the SP and rest of the HOF'ers roadblock. Oh yeah I forgot I have to get Hoblitzell No Stats in a 4 also. :eek: I hope to have that one by the end of the month:rolleyes: IF my GAI 8 Johnson crosses and makes the auction block. That is the plan anyways. Always shootin for the moon. I will have it and the 17 others posted when I get back from Vacation at the end of next week.

Cards from Scott B
 

Here are the 16 raw I got. I hope they all make 4's or higher;)

More from Scott B
 

And #17

Lots of great stuff already... and it's only the 1st.

couple of early Zee's

A baseball thread.............Great additions Andrew, I'll try to send you a few more to keep this at the top. I see a couple 3's a lot of 4's and possible two 5's, but I don't grade for a living.

Rawn

I hope they are all 4+'s because I paid alot for them. Very dissapointed if they are not.

Austin, Foxen and Wiltse Look like the #3's to me, but those are the only questions in the bunch.

Rawn

Am glad Hurricane Season is almost pau
 

1. M116 Joss - Arrived this morning. Sweet, yeah? Bought from Yorkin on eBay. Consistently good seller.
2. 1919 Zeenut Gibson - Looks just like a Zeenut ought to. Thanks Dan B. on BST for burning rubber. You guys up in Canada, do you call 'em Zednuts? Just wondering.

A few Boston American/Red Sox cards to satisfy my obsession for about a second :)

Mike - nice looking cards! You're missing one of those M101-4/5 Red Sox...
:)

Matt- Right you are. That one will have to wait for a rainy day and me winning the Lotto :D

Some great pickups for my Bender collection ! Thanks to the fellow board members who helped me get these !!!!!!!!!

Thanks Leon, I'm was happy to add some Frederick Fotos to the collection.

I wanted one with the ornate logo and one without. I'm also a sucker for the wierd teams (Joplin, MO) and I've always kinda liked Hick Cady & Sam Agnew.

Picked these up at a small show last Saturday. Got all 3 for $50. What do you all think, good deal?

Just got these in the mail today - two previously unknown Nebraska Indians postcards. Possibly one of a kinds?

Look what I got!

These are the cards that made me so mad at my Fed Ex guy. I had to wait for a day when contractors were working on our house and have the Fed Ex guy give it to them.

We have the same taste Paul, I was strongly considering those as well! Congrats!

I seem to have the same taste as a lot of people, which is why I hardly ever get anything cheap. But these weren't so bad.

Thanks Josh - love this Matty T3!

Thank You, Daryle and Ian:

tbob:

Great T210s! How far along are you with the set?

The first card (with the exception of my E90-1 Hall) for my new horizontal collection:

http://i139.photobucket.com/albums/q...206_pattee.jpg

Love blazers like this guy right here...

That Wiltse is BEAUTIFUL. One of the things that I always loved about most of the old sets is the simplistic beauty of those. Plus, its hard to imagine that a hundred years ago someone got a pack of smokes, and that card slid out. Simply a beautiful card and Id say the T206s are my favorite set of the 1887-1933 era.

Amen, Scott! :)

(Sadly it's a 40/3 but with a front like that I couldn't care less what the back looks like.)

Thanks Jason. I guess I have about 250 T210s now, a long way to go...
Picked these up on the Bay for peanuts.

Peanuts and Beer uummmmm good.

My 4th T210 Houston
 

T206 Baker AB 350 No Frame SGC 40. This one was a little tougher than I thought it was going to be.
Take care,

Link to the backs line, getting there. Looking for an AB 460 HOFer that is not in the group already.

huh.....T140.7
 

I only feel about 70% today :p

Picked up two more T210s on the Bay tonight, one an orange border Series 3.

That's awesome!

T201 Mecca Miscut
 

I bet that T201 looks great when you fold it horizontally or vertically!

Thank You for the high numbers, Brad:

First off, a big thank you to Mark D. for my first N172!

Been looking for this card for a while. Fellow Kansan, would like to find the Auker as well.

Clint/Anyone Else:

Have you ever seen the Hank Greenberg from that set?

One more from the Bay before it crumbles out of sheer stupidity and mismanagement.

Not brand new, but newly slabbed
 

and that makes them FEEL like new additions!

Phil, I've only been looking for the Chief and Auker. I can't say that I've seen a Greenberg though.
