From the BST, thanks Turner:

Very nice pick-up, Jeff!

Bought a lot just to get the one pin. Very, very tough pin to find and it brings me down to only 6 still needed. I like these pins in exmt or better but with Mr. Dahlen, you'll take what you can get and upgrade later :)

An upgrade or two

Just when I tell myself to focus on the few T206 cards that I need and not on upgrades, I buy a couple of upgrades. Damn this hobby! ;)

Excited about the Connie Mack auto pick up

Two more 1933 Goudeys. Completes my low series. Eleven more to go.

My Bengoudegraph

Got the card 55 years after getting the auto. They look nice together.

Beautiful cards.

A few T206's, very subtle color difference in the gray shirt between the Piedmont and the Sweet Cap even though the red is consistent.

Ron, those Goudeys really present well for the grade.

Ron, great pickups...good luck on the last 11!! I love browsing through your set on the SGC registry.

A few more all time Cardinals - 36 Nat Chicle Fine Pen R313 - They have back damage from being glued in a scrapbook

Aguilitas Segundas Oms

Thanks Matt. Down to three commons to complete this set

You found one Kenny, Congrats, its a beauty and a real toughie!!!

Steve

Nice pick-up on the Oms, Kenny!

Won this on ebay for less than half what these E99s were going for 18 months ago. :D

Two Ebay pick-ups...

The definition of a GREAT day!!!!!!

These arrived in the mail today!

Only 15 more to go to complete the set!

Thanks guys. I appreciate the kind words.

Barry nice job getting so close to the CJ set!
Those will look so good shown together once complete!
Of course you need to hit f7 on your PSA keyboard to check spelling on your latest Ed Knoetchy, Konnecty, Knoodle card...:eek:;)

Thanks Brian.....the Knoetchy is one of the rare variations in the set!

Great pickups, Brian. I really like the Indy Brewing duo.

1935 Three-Quarter-Century Baseball Club RPPC Postcard.

Lovely Day...

It's nice to finally have a card from Mr. Carter's collection.

Another "Tip Top" 1915 Cracker Jack

This Frank Owens, Brooklyn Tip Top, 1915 Cracker Jack arrived today.

Patrick

Great Owens, that one is really tough to find centered.

Lefty Grove.....

I think this still qualifies as a baseball card.....

I love those catcher poses...I had never seen that Owen before...gorgeous...and that krieg is sweet too!!!!

July 1916 Babe Ruth Red Sox Photo in The Boys' Magazine

Just picked this beauty up. Never even knew it existed but it is one of the earliest photos of Ruth in a magazine. Pretty neat. :o

The little card is a 1923 Maple Crispette of Sam Bohne, born Samuel Cohen. The other card is graded low more due to back damage than to the front.

So despite being a Cub fan and card collector for most of my life, this is my first ever card of a Cub World Series winner. E107s are breathtaking, but a Cubs HOF world series winner is pretty darn rare in its own right. It's not in hand yet, but I just couldn't wait to cruise over here and post it up. :D

Nice pick-up, Brian, on most of a Ross Youngs card (that's actually the first time I have seen that card in any condition, the Giants and Senators are really, really tough).

Thank You, Phil. I also have all the catalogued Washington Senators.

Do you have any of the team cards, Brian?

I just picked up the Yankees team card which actually pictures the 1923 Yankees with Lou Gehrig in his first season. At one time, that made me believe that the W504 set may have been produced in 1923 or 1924 but based on the individual Yankee cards, it appears that it was indeed a 1925 issue and they just used an old team photo from a couple of years earlier.

i just start to collect t206, i think it is a life project. It is my first purchase on ebay today.

Congrats, they are a great gateway to a full fledged cardboard habit.

E93 3-Finger Brown

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm... caramel.....

Damn Chuck,

Nice Registration, no creases, solid corners, the only thing that card is missing is 2 fingers

:D LOL thanks!

Clean Sweep winnings arrived today

Clean sweep wins arrived today; add two more to make it 215.

Added the green winners stripe to go along with my red one. Not exactly an upside down overprint T206 back, but it's the best one can do when you are collecting the W517 set :). Guess I'm supposed to do some cartwheels now.

Lovely Day...

My first Gehrig - Thanks Iggy!

Not the prettiest 40, but a good buy nonetheless:

Here's a sweet looking Leaf premium of Walter Johnson

Just in from the recent B&L auction:

Sterling Sports Winnings

Dropped out of the signed T206 Marquard bidding at about half of the final bid, but I couldn't resist this reasonably priced Southern Leaguer...

March 2002 pickup

Yes these cards probably belong in the 2002 Pickup Thread, I've probably had them that long, but they are just back from SGC after years in the dark lonely closet...scanned, registered and ready to share...

Wow! Nice T210 Kipp, Jeremy. I'm jealous :-(
BTW Mr. Hayes arrived, nice card, thanks.
tbob

Something about that E220 is very striking.

Thanks for the prompting to research a[nother] set that I have neither the patience, nor the funds to collect ;)

Regards,

Richard.

Just got back from the Tyson's Corner, VA show where I picked up these two portraits from Net54's own Ken Cohen. I'm in love with the portraits from this set. Thanks Ken!
