that Dunn is upside down

Jim: An errant attempt at humor. Apologies.

I assume that's a PhotoShop job and not PSA giving their opinion on which way the card should be displayed?

Correct, Matt. Here is the actual card.

Finally got a 1914 Bender Cracker Jack and a couple nice Yankees !!

Beauty of a Gehrig!

Halloween Honus
 

Damn. I was excited at-first when I noticed the upside down / Photoshop version!

Just picked up this Halloween Wagner variation on eBay. :D

David:

I hate to tell you this. I mean I really don't want to be the one to break it to you. In fact, I hope someone may have PMed you and I am not the one to break this to you. I live by the credo: "No one loves the messenger that brings bad news." Who knows there is a tiny possibility that I could be wrong and besides it's not the end of the world if I'm right - you have a fabulous collection anyway. But...again, I didn't want to be the one to break this to you, buuuttttt that's not Buzz Arlett. It's Alexander Arlett (his brother). No big deal. He wasn't such a bad player, anyway.

I almost made the same mistake too.

As usual T.H.E. Cat is correct. While both Buzz and Pop played for Oakland in 1918 the player pictured is Alexander "Pop" Arlett.

Damn nice card though. 1918 is widely recognized as the toughest of all zeenut issues mainly due to the War. I think too, though not as often mentioned, that the influenza outbreak of 1918 may have played a role.

David
 

That was killer-you got me hook,line and sinker-I was looking for trade bait and ready to email you tonight.

That is what makes this board great!

I am a regular Norman Einstein. Thanks for the correction.

If it makes you feel any better, I was relatively excited last week to get a Herman Pillette card only to find out it was Ted Pillette. :mad:

Hmmm, what's that T. Pillette on the front of the card mean? Cat begins to contemplate: Must be his nickname: "Tough guy" Herman Pillette.....yeah, yeah, that's the ticket.

My first, last and only post-war Cobb

1887 OJ Connie Mack
 

Connie Mack - 1887 N172 Old Judge

http://www.247hq.com/CMWH.jpg http://www.247hq.com/CMNH.jpg

sharp image!

Yes, the image is what gravitated me to this card and caused me to buy it.

I'm sure it will end up as trade bait though for other OJs



.

I've had these for awhile, just got them back from SGC.

That schedule holder is large!

Sorry for the large scans.

joe

David- that inverted Dunn image made me laugh :)
That Arlett card is a beauty, who cares which brother it is, the 1918s are scarce as hen's teeth and yours is one of the nicer ones I've seen. Congrats.

Very nice McGraw CJ. Congrats.

T200 Fatima Premium
 

Fatima Premium Phili Nationals....

I just got this Konetchy in the mail. I spent 15 minutes looking at it last night and can't for the life of me figure out why it is a 2 and not a 4. Oh well. It'll be raw soon enough anyway so it doesn't matter to me. And I got it for a good price so I'm happy. :)
http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p...llKonetchy.jpghttp://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p...netchyback.jpg

Nice! Where did it come from?

grandpa's attic!!
 

The Fatima Premium came from Grandpa's attic via the last Heritage Auction. (just kidding about the attic part).... I had been wanting one and this one is actually in the upper echelon of conditions I have seen them in. It didn't meet reserve so I made an offer after the auction and it was accepted. I picked it up yesterday and had a nice lunch with Chris Ivy....This Premium is huge....

Tell him: "Cat says go screw yourself" the next time you see him. Seriously!!!

A Couple of Newbies
 

From the BST, a very nice "1" with paperloss on back @ a tuff '23X of McGraw (anyone got an upgrade?)

E95 Cicotte arrived today...
 

http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w...e95cicotte.jpg



My 2nd Cicotte and my first E95....here's to many more!

My first Plank!
 

I'm very excited to have received my first Plank today...compliments of the BST:

Birthday gift from a friend!
 

Konetchy
 

Hi Chris W, that Konetchy looks like a strong 4! I suspect that PSA found some tiny glue residue on the back. I've been stung the same way a couple of times.

Thanks! I'm thrilled with it. My favorite cards are the ones that have a tiny flaw like a small bit of paper loss on the back edge or a small wrinkle that drops the card down a couple grades. It's a great way to get awesome looking cards on the cheap. :) I've looked the card over several times and I have yet to find the issue. Of course I hadn't thought of looking for glue.

My first E card
 

At least the first I plan to keep for awhile. Picked up at the Brockleman Luckey auction. Thanks Leon and Scott.

Best wishes,

Joe

Not very pretty but in my $ range & an EPDG as well!!

Bob -

I think the Eddie Collins T206 is one of the nicest - - if not the nicest - - T206 card.

Nice pickups.

Nice cards, Bob!

Getting closer to completing an E97 master set which includes all the color cards with variations, all the black and white set and all the color cards with blank backs.

Whoa - that is quite a feat right there...good luck with the final pieces!!!

Thanks Blair. I completed the regular color set first and have been collecting the black and white proofs and blank backs lately. The prices for these two groups (at least on ebay) has been going down so maybe I can get this finished. As far as the blank backs go, a couple I am chasing are cards I have never seen before anywhere- a blank back Keeler springs to mind.

damn bob!
 

That's amazing, Bob...an e97 master set...not to mention your e94 's. You had amazing hindsight! If you ever find yourself with an extra e97 nichols, phil variation...I'll trade you my e94 green murray and a dupe(for you) t212 series 150 wolverton for it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[QUOTE=bijoem;761420]Bob -

I think the Eddie Collins T206 is one of the nicest - - if not the nicest - - T206 card.

Yeah, Eddie was actually pretty good looking back then...

Thanks Scott!

I used to own that exact Mathewson, Jim. It presents really well for its grade. Congrats.

A Few Big Pickups for me. My First Cobb Autograph "JSA letter" (and prob my last and now my best autograph) My first nice Gehrig and my first Hornsby card. Good month for me.

I just got around to scanning this one, acquired through BST, thanks Joe.

Wahoo!

Not really collecting the E95 set but couldn't pass this grouping at a very reasonable price. The backs all have a tiny bit of damage, not bad at all, which accounts for SGC lowering the boom on the grades.

A few newer pick ups...

My 9th Catcher HRK
 

I received my 9th HRK catcher, John Tiedeman, today from Canada.

Since the Walter Boles HRK crops off his glove making it impossible to identify the card as a catching pose that leaves only 3 more catching pose HRKs that I need.

I have seen several Walter Schmidt HRKs over the last few years, and I have been told that Ralph Kreitz and August Fisher are also catcher pose cards.

So I need the following three (3) HRKs to complete my run:

August Fisher
Ralph Kreitz
Walter Schmidt


I also want to take this opportunity to thank one of our board members again for his generosity. He sent me 3 items on my want list that he had duplicates of in his collection. I can't thank him enough!

Needless to say, I had a pretty good day adding 4 PCL cards to my collection.



Patrick

Thanks Scott!

I actually got this E222 on Oct. 30 at the Chantilly, VA Show.

Leon - I note that you have this same E222 card of Smith, except that the back of yours is in a different color ink. I never knew that there were ink color variations for the same player, did you? Val
