March P/U
 

Walked into an antique store and found this in January (raw of course). I thought it was a 6-7 but SGC said there was a wrinkle on the back (I don't see it).

Great pick up at the store. Haven't found any significant baseball item at the antique stores here in Florida yet.

Lovely Day...

I certainly started the month off right.

Paul, I think the next 30 days are going to be anticlimactic.

Thanks Comisky (Jeff)

another T210 added to my collection...

Won on the Bay last night...

Picked up what I consider a very eye pleasing T206 Larry Doyle card. Very sharp and in focus. The card looks better in person.

another added to my collection (-=

Thanks for Net54 - Pete for finding another nice T206 Downs... No Name or Factory etc..

Thank you Mike!
 

T206 Doyle w/ bat
 

Paul........very nice T206 Doyle w/ bat. Super image. Tim

Cicotte
 

Bought an entire lot of cards just to get this one card:

Sweet card, TBob, probably worth 2 lots !!!!:)

Thank you, Tim. When I saw the item on ebay, I thought it looked better than average in regards to clarity.

When it arrived, I was like, "WOW!" It is one of the sharpest T206s I have ever seen. I really enjoy the eye appeal.

I regretted selling my Johnson portrait the day after I sold it, so was glad to
pick this one up.

This is looking like a pretty good month. First the Overland Candy Foxx, and now this.

A very Rare CR Photo
 

I love the writing on the back! This has got to be a one of a kind and something I would never part with. Gotta love a great old pic with a baseball team, a kid and his dog!

Mike - nice photo - it includes Socks Seibold and Fred "Bootnose" Hoffman.

Mike
 

If that is pitcher Roy Mellinger 2nd left bottom, he is the guy that owned the 136 card Lot of T206's I bought in Dec!

Fred,
That team pic was one of the items I sold recently from the Mellinger collection. Mike was the high bidder. He got a great deal and if the lower corner ever is found, we will mail that to him.

Thanks Kary.. I would love to have that corner piece..
If the winner of the Beldon Hill Document and the winner of the other CR Photos would love to sell them to me I would be forever grateful.. (ahem, leon, rhys :) )
By selling them to me you would have the comfort of knowing that they have a great home and that they would be shared with our small community here in CR IA... I have a collectables shop located in the lindale mall and have my CR pieces prominately displayed for public viewing.. These pieces would be a welcome addition! thanks in advance for any consideration..

Won this T207 Roger Bresnahan on ebay last night:

Just back from ebay. 2 Keatings. Thanks to Rhys for Severeid(few years back). Glad to get another E94. First D303 ever owned.

A couple of mine

Louisville Scorecard
 

Picked up this cool scorecard with Stovey, Hecker, Browning, and Chicken Wolf.......

1926 Cardinals team, courtesy of KMOX radio and F.C. Taylor Fur Company. Measures just under 7x11.

Kenny,
Those are some pretty Cole cards. Sorry for the horrific word play, but super nice pickups!!
Bob

Thanks. The CJ Jackson has been on my want list for a long time. The Clarkson was an impulse buy.

Kenny - Nice Looking Joe Jax
 

That card presents much better than the grade would indicate. Nice pickup!

Paul:

Nice Cardinals piece, never seen that one before.

Thanks to Darren for working with me to get these two additions to my Reds set.

Roush should make an emergency appointment with Rhett Yeakley.

I had to think about that comment for a minute, but then after looking at Roush I remembered - Rhett is a dentist!!
At first I was worried that you had noticed something wrong with the card.

Thanks to Barry S. (via eBay) for a smooth deal.

B and L
 

I've won in 4 of the 5 B and L Auctions thus far.
This time added a Colgan's 'proof' Camnitz and an e96 mowrey to my
type collection.
many thanks Leon and Scott.

best,
barry

My b-l auction win...
 

My B-L auction win!!!

Small pickup from B&L...another off the E-type card list!

Bill

Bill, do we have any hard proof that the Colgan "square proof" is actually that? I've always had some doubt about the origins of this card. Mine is below:

<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/calvindog/2910100804/" title="1909 Colgan's Chip Proof by calvindog65, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3259/2910100804_206f765cbd_o.jpg" width="450" height="771" alt="1909 Colgan's Chip Proof" /></a>

It was good that Leon ressurected the old topic on this. I don't think they are "officially" proofs, but tend to agree given the size & similarities to Colgan's that they were offered up in a different product. What that was, and when it was distributed are valid and unanswered questions, and may never be unless some big discovery is made. That being said, whether it's a Colgan or not isn't too high on my radar. It's a period card that I didn't have a type of in my set, and now I do so I am happy! Let's hope some light is finally shed in the future and that it turns out that the Criss is the new holy-grail of card collecting! :)

Bill

Let's hope it turns out that the Criss is the new holy grail ...
 

There are right around 50 of them from what I've heard, and the highest graded on is in a PSA 8 case (but I think it's been trimmed). Watch out for all the fakes on eBay that were found in Grandpa's attic!

I'd say that M101-6s are new holy grail this week.

Jeff,

I hope you are wrong.....Leon just sold mine in that auction....Thanks again Leon and Scott for running a great auction.

Bob,
It was a beauty.
Jeff

Absolutely great auction, won a few lots myself.

Jeff,
Do you know who won it? If you do, please tell them I hope it display great in their collection.
Bob

Nope, all I know is it wasn't me. Always been one of my favorite sets.

Love the color in this one...first new vintage I've gotten in a while. I have a few nice ones incoming though...will post them up when they arrive. Closer and closer!

A couple CdVs from a large group I was fortunate to obtain.

1889 Supplement
 

This is my first "The Stage" Supplement, from 1889. Thought it was neat that the adjoining page was still in tact and had a cool writeup on Harry Stovey. Anyone else have any Supplements from "The Stage" to share?

March pick-ups
 

E92 from eBay, other two are from B&L!

I'm so happy to add this to my collection. From a barn in Massachusetts.

Rob G:

Very nice piece, those are tough to come by!

Gabby Street T3
 

I picked up a Gabby Street T3 in a recent Clean Sweep Auction at an incredible price. It replaces my previous Street T3 that was used to finalize a trade last year.

Jeff:

Great Cubs Team. Presume that's a PC?

The Evers, Tinker and Zimmerman are recognizable poses appeaing individually on other PC's I have seen.

Yes, the Burke & Atwell is a postcard.

I know these are complete BEATERS...
 

...but given that Im targeting them as players, the age of the cards, and how few cards exist for each player; I am absolutely estatic to add these to my collection. My thanks to Rhett Y, who let me in on the fact that these cards even existed. Over time, I hope to upgrade condition.

This just arrived in the mail today and I am very happy!!

From B&L...

I can't figure out why this is a "2".

Won this in B&L Auctions...

Picked this up at the Philly show. The largest postcard I have ever seen, especially pre-war. HM Taylor PC of presentation of floral horseshoe to Bill Donovan. It measures 7-1/4" x 9-1/4". The scan is approx. 80% of the actual size. And yes, Ty is actually smiling.

Mike

Just picked this one up yesterday from SGC at the PA Show. Believe it or not this is the highest graded example by SGC of this card.........

Happy with T206 PSA2 HOF'er
 

Difficult to find a nicer image.......a very, very minor wrinkle warrants the PSA2 grade. Couldn't pass it up.....................

Red Sun redux
 

Picked these up in the recent Hunt Auction, and had them graded at the Valley Forge show. Very pleased especially with the Wilder which I suspected would grade a 50, although his Momma should have taught him how to correctly button a sweater. Enjoy.

Still looking for T209s from both series, especially color.

Cheers, Mike
