Jim- I still have to shake my head when I see a card of such high quality graded a Poor. It's a travesty.

Jeff, great postcards!

Another Goudey

Mike and Jim--Two beautiful Old Judge cards. BTW Mike--there is a new bio of Roger Connor out that is very good.

Rhys--Great cards!

Rhett WOW!!!!! What an amazing haul. Can I ask where they came from and was there any other items with them?

Trevor

Love the Speaker, Jeff.

Amazing photo, Brian. That's a winner for sure. Amazing composition on that shot.

Rhett, incredible to see all those in one shot.

Can't believe the quality in the first day of February. Looks like it's going to be a good month!!!

You need to trot out that Patton into the "Best Looking Poor" thread.

Nice Red's !
 

Tremendous sample size Rhett ! Congrats !!

Thank You, Roderick and Thank You, Joe:

Added (11) different T202's to my collection in the last few weeks including the ones shown below. Thanks to Ryan and Al!

That Padron photo is awesome. I'm jealous. Congatulations on a great pickup!

This just arrived.

I'm excited to own my first E94 Wagner

Just picked this up.... I loved this team when I was a kid (10).... Had to get it..... 24 autos and a shot to get Sweet Lou added on 2/27.

Tim

Matty
 

A beater, but there is always room for a Mathewson in ones collection regardless of condition!

Thanks for the Deal Al!

Nice pickups everyone. Beautiful Wags Pete!

HOLY MOLY I got a Hal Chase autograph!
 

I am pretty excited to be getting this

Attachment 55716

2 Cobb items I'm planning to frame together. Probably would look good with a green portrait T206 between them.

Pete- congrats! I bid on the card earlier but forgot all about it with all the other auctions going on. The blue background E94 Wagner is a toughie. You got a great buy even with the skinned back, they just don't come around very often.

Picked up this sweet Grover Alexander House Of David PC from Exhibitman. Thanks for the great postcard!

Pretty nice "two"!

Fantastic Cobby display Scott. Congrat's!!

This was actually a fair BIN on the Bay.

This card was just how I like them, it was cheap.

thanks to Adam & James.

since it appears that T206 printing errors are thru the roof right now...thought i'd branch out. IMO, there's no reason why T205 printing errors shouldn't be just as valuable.

Thanks, Tony - it's not built yet, but that's the image I'm taking to the framer. She is sooooooo hot, and always has a better idea than mine :)

With new corrected SGC label
 

Just back from SGC with new corrected label.

Thank you Pete for the nice trade.

Here's a few

[ATTACH][/ATTACH]After reading K.O's article on T206 Resource about the unreleased T206 Southern League Proof cards I was drawn to one in particular,the Danville Fleet Mayberry Pitching Pose.A quick search showed he had a T210-2,what luck.It took about 1 week for one to pop up on Ebay via Joe's Vintage.Im glad to add this card and wish the T206 made it into production.

... 199... 200!
 

I'm now at 200 T206 SGC40s. Thanks to Lee for the Crawford and Jason for the Phelps. I'm extremely excited to reach this milestone and couldn't have done it without help from all here on N54... my buyers, my traders and the BST sellers. While I don't have most of the "big dogs," I do have a BeanTown Mathewson Dark Cap, 16 other HOFs and 10 SL. With your help (and a whole lot of selling), I've managed to get these 200 cards for an average of (wait for it)... $6.45 per card.

Great job and congrats Erick.Im envious of that per card average.Thats amazing.

Good job Rob on Tolstois. Keep it going

Also, good job Erick.

Erick,

An amazing feat! I am sure you have put in a lot of work to pull those 200 off! Been great trading, buying and selling with you. You have been a class act all the way!

Best,

Andy

1935-36 Diamond Matchbook of Jocko Conlan...

Got this recently but hadn't scanned until just now, so that still counts for February, right?

Nice pick-up, Dave. Looks familiar, I think I had one in blue though.........

Kenny, you must have picked up that Brouthers OJ in a private deal, I sure didn't see it. Let me know if you want to sell it.;)

Joe

Thanks Phil. Yes, I noticed that. Co-incidentally, I picked up your old Candy Cummings Albertype today.

Raw pickup at a show...
 

I probably overpaid, but at $40, not bad...it is a Hassan back so that has to count for something...I also picked up a Larry Doby Perez Steele post card (PSA)...my 85th signed Perez Steele...it was a great piece that I got at a fraction of what I normally see signed Doby PSs going for. All in all, a good day...

http://www.collectorfocus.com/images...illippe-hassan

Well, you could have had my PSA 4 cheaper - sold Sunday on ebay for $39. Reminds me - I might have a "St. Valentine's Day Massacre" Sale this month.

Hey Scott...this is true...though your note presupposes I'm intelligent, which I routinely confirm I am not. Hoping we can do some business in the near future...would love to add some more T205s to my collection...Matt :D

I still have a few left :)

Joe,

I picked up the Brouthers in the Goodwin auction. I'm glad you missed it. I didn't need any further competition. :D

Kenny

thanks to Sean.

Duck, duck...
 

Replaced a 1933 Goudey #110 with this portrait:

http://rustywilly.com/cards/PSACARD/..._332_FRONT.jpg

Thanks Matt!

Very nice, Mark, that's a much more interesting card than the '33 Goudey.

Starting on the next 200...
 

Number 201 arrived today (along with my new scanner, Epson V33)... Kleinow Boston Catching... need to slow down a bit :D

Proof from ALC circa 1909.

http://i.imgur.com/TQ4Lp.jpg

Erick, that's a beauty.

Another beautifully-registered T205 Matty arrived today. I was hoping it would be an upgrade, but not quite. Good trade bait, though :)

Oh, thats right, I did bid on the Brouthers and one other Detroit player, did not win either. The other was an upgrade, did not want to spend that much for upgrade.


Joe

Pretty nice "1" Lajoie.

T210
 

Redfern :

Two new ones today. Got a steal on the 3rd different 1908 George E Wright Morgan Bulkeley PC. This one is un-used(another bonus). Also, after being significantly outbid on the 1903 Burr Mcintosh Iron Man McGinnity auction the other day, I managed to find another one really cheap(not really a card though)... It was a good day for deals..

Bill Carrigan - 1928 Type 1 Photo
 

He looks pretty serious, as he should - this photo was taken in June, 1928, dead-center in the middle of a 3-year managerial stretch in which he went 116-295, quite possibly the worst consecutive three years in MLB history.

For anyone interested in T206 printing and color
 

The proof piece Chris Browne posted will give you so much insight into the inks and colors used for production by American Lithograph to better understand colors and missing colors.

Received in a trade with rdixon1208:

At least someone gets my random non card purchase. :)

I'm starting to really dig baseball related postcards. I think I'm at a crossroad in my collecting life. Should I go see a doctor or something?

Lovely Day...

Yep, you're infected, Iggyman. I've gotten into boxing PCs over the last few years, similar virus, same prognosis. Overall, though, it is a relatively benign disease, primarily afflicting only the wallet and on rare occasions the marital relationship.

Finally got around to my first pickup of the year. Thanks Lee!

Nice way to start the year Bill!

Thank You, Charles and Thank You, Andrew:
