Thank you to whoever, years ago, ripped the edge of this M110 so I could be able to afford it today. Been wanting one of these for a long, long time!

Wags
 

Great pull, Dave! The image looks good and I love the back as well...congrats!

Really sweet Wagner there! This one arrived this morning as well. Has a tear with some tape but it didn't break the bank, I'm really liking this card....

Five knocked down in the last few weeks. All through the BST. Thanks guys!

This card went with the annual pass to the Polo Grounds in 1910.

Nice, Dave. I am fairly sure I have a magazine article from that period, with a copy of the original photo for this card. If so, I'll scan and post here.

Sweet M110 Wagner!

Love that Polo pass too, Adam.

Johnnie wants in.

If you have it, I would love to see it.

Just finished a deal for this.

Thanks Richard!

He does bear an uncanny resemblance.

A big thanks to my good friend Matthew for trading with me. I really wanted to add a Frank Chance in a 4 to my collection. It fits perfectly. Thank you once again. :)

Sweet card Waz.

that cobb is a BLAZER! (old school term for 'nicer than the grade')

hate to see that one leave the country.

Yes Quan, I can't see the back but that Cobb looks to be another example of how SGC goes much easier on tobacco cards than PSA. j/k :p
That's a gorgeous card, one of my favorites that I do not have. Congrats on the pick up in Canada.

Very nice Scott! Sorry I bid you up as much as I did. That would have been a very nice upgrade from my current one (at about the same cost)!! I figured it would either be you or one of the Jeff's that took me down.

Very, VERY nice S Covaleski "rookie".

:D

:D:D

Happy to win the 3 Pacific Coast Biscuit D310s last night in Al's auction and to pick up another E97 B&W from Steve last night on the BST :D

Nice PCBs Tbob.

Thanks bud!

Via B/S/T section ... Thanks Noli

I've been waiting a long time to find one of these in my price range.

picked these up in my never ending quest to find the best looking low-grade cards

Nice pick-ups Everyone!

This T206 found a permanent home. :)

We used to call those "rat chews." I had some in a signed Marquard years ago.

Nice John. When I saw that in the auction I immediately thought of the look-alike Horner Composite on my wall.

:eek: wow!

Tyler - Great card of Duffy and I think the Mayo's are a beatiful set ! Sort of underated if you ask me...

Great pick-up on the Eastern League composite, John.

beautiful composito John!

Awesome display piece! Congrats!

Sterling winnings in hand
 

Received my Sterling winnings today (damn fast!). Up to 332 on the main set in SGC 40.

Pretty happy about this Matty.

Got a call today from Wayne at Shoebox to let me know Mr. Wagner is on his way to his new home. As you all know, Wayne is top notch. Thanks Wayne!!

And...nice Matty Pete!

http://i101.photobucket.com/albums/m...WagnerSGC3.jpg

You should be very happy with it Pete; super nice for the low grade!

Thanks for the Clarke.

That composite is o.k., I mean if your into that sort of thing.:)

Beautiful cards everyone.

Very happy with this card from LOTG auctions because:

1) It is my first E98
2) It has my favorite E98 background - I'm a sucker for the bright colors on old cards
3) Walsh is laughing on it - cards that have players smiling/laughing make me smile too
4) It is from the Rudy Strejc collection - a little extra history attached to a card never hurt anyone

T205 Joss
 

Hello all - normally I lurk but I am very excited to add this guy to my T205 set! I had been looking for a while for one with decent centering.

http://i812.photobucket.com/albums/z...ps5fb20457.jpg

Thanks Jake...LOL...it took me about 2mins to figure out what you were talking about on the Clarke...that is my Clarke didn't even notice. Enjoy and thank you.

Cheers,

John

P.S. Very nice looking Joss.

Nice duo of T205s, Guy, and sweet framed piece, John!

Hell, this whole thread is killer. Great stuff, all!

One more from last night.

Recent Mile High victory
 

I lost out on a handful of m116's, but managed to reel this guy in for a price that I felt was fair...

Great Matty!

Thanks, John. I've been enjoying yours all day!

^^^ it's always nice to see cards so old look so good. Sharp!

Thanks again to Al and Love of the Game auctions!

What a month Chuck!!!

Oh
 

My first Japanese card.. quite a jump for me, but a perk of being a "Wandering Drifter". The seller was great and even included a book on Japanese baseball cards/history with the card. A new collecting interest is born :D

This is seriously too cool.

I've had had to cut myself off for this month (January over-indulgence), but I got this one in just under the wire on the 31st and it arrived today. I love these things. The illustrations are great and the advice is sound...."Never slide headfirst. Too much chance of you getting hurt and your team losing a valuable man."

Thanks. There were a couple of these Oh rookies listed on eBay recently, but as I learned maybe only about 50 or so in existance. Both went unsold. I contacted the sellers, agreed on a deal with one of them, and in the meantime learned a lot about Japanese cards through email back and forth with both of them. Couldn't be happier with the card, and with the pleasent exchanges that came with it.

t206 Marquard
 

Picked up at a reasonable price from D&A. Turned out to be a Factory 649. Nothing major, but a little cool.

Yes, indeed. My checkbook is saying the same thing. :)

Thanks, man!

I actually like it better this way:

Feb Pick up
 

Thanks to Joe's Auctions - I have been wanting this card for some time.
