Browning & Hoover

just picked these 4 up today
just added one more!

Larry - Nice SLer's !

Edited to add, I have always liked "the bat" in the Rockenfeld card. Bottle Bat barrel, Hollow Point end with wrapping paper string (yarn) around the handle. One of the more illustrated bat's on a T card.

thanks jeremy

SL's
 

As usual Larry, great pickups !!

thanks adam

1869 Cincinnati Red Stockings photo disc. From this year's REA. Not real sure about the nature of this item? It looks like, and is the right size for a pin (1 1/2 inches in diameter). But the image is printed on thin cardstock/thick paper, and there is no evidence of any type of pin attachment on the reverse. Surrounded by a metal ring. According to the auction writeup, this is the only one they have ever seen, yet it was clearly manufactured and not homemade. Proud to own it - finally have something card-like and period for the HOFer George Wright!

Very nice pick-up, Ken. Congrats!

Added another to my American Beauty Back Project

Attachment 39642 :)

Yeah, what is that? Maybe some sorta giveway, or something. Simply a GREAT item tho. Congrats on that pickup!!

Thanks, Phil and Scott. :)

Just arrived - after the UPS guy took a 30 minute break right outside my window to read the paper. Kinda like that old ketchup commercial with the "Anticipation" soundtrack.

Nice Cy Young....after waiting with anticipation from the UPS driver taking his break.

Young miscut
 

I had my eye on that one, but it was too rich for me (and ended while I was in Vegas). Awesome card, though.

Sunday market
 

Picked this up at the Aberfoyle antique market today.

As in the Aberfoyle Antique Market near Guelph, Ontario, or is there another?

Either way, cool piece.

Regards,

Richard.

Awesome piece Tony, bet it looks great on display!

Yes Richard, on Brock Road north. Have you been there?

I love mail day!
 

All came in yesterday's mail.

I've driven by dozens of times, and always figure that *some* day I'll stop in, but it hasn't happened yet. Over the summer I have visions of redesigning my office to have a baseball decor, though, so maybe your post will inspire me to finally stop and take a look around...

Regards,

Richard.

Almost done with the large letter variation P-2 pins and the Domino Disc set.

The rest from this weekend

I picked up a Hooker! ;) Knocked this one off my National "hit list" early.


Amazing piece Tony! Being from Ohio, I really enjoy seeing items related to the Polar Bear tobacco.

Wow nice haul Rob!! If for some reason you ever get sick of the Tolstoi Griffith let me know! :)

Thanks Robert :D

my first "pick-up" post.

This may have been my most diverse mail day ever, so thought I'd post them.
T206's are from Adam's recent BST...He finally broke down and sold some of them to me!

Not in hand yet, but on its way to Connecticut soon.;). Courtesy of JRog007, comes this awesome type card for my mini group.:)

Got this one from Gary Chen. A tough player for me to find!

Lefty Grove Eclipse Import.....
 

This arrived in the mail yesterday.... It appears to have a different back than my other Eclipse Imports... Could there be three different back variations of these cards? Dan?

:)

Nice E96 Scotty! Looks like it was dipped in caramel. I think it adds character to the card :). And Nice haul Robert Dixon. Very nice cards.

I liked these unc/strip/notebook cards of Lord and Carrigan.

Picked up the Brown (5th card from the left) today off the Wantlist thread Brad started.

Two to go. Riedy and Boyce to complete the horizontal subset.

My first pick-up in several months, via the debut Sterling Sports auction.

Nice Chance Steve!

Replacing my "lost Diamond star" typecard w a Yankee:p

Hal Chase...Take II
 

I shared this card a couple months back when I picked it up raw...just got it back from PSA and was pleasantly surprised how well it graded out! I must add that I'm rarely "pleasantly surprised" any time I get cards back from PSA...

Thanks Michael! I love the caramel stains on it as well :)


Very nice Lord & Carrigan, loving the old school Boston logo on the unis! Where did you buy those from?

Nice cards guys. I especially like the Lefty Grove card a few posts back. Here's a few I picked up recently.

Tony,
The Polar Bear is an amazing piece!

Robert,
Nice E93s! The Wiltse is REALLY tough to find centered.
