March Pickups...
1 Attachment(s)
The typical date shuffling in this hobby(most notably the w560 and E210 type 2's, now being considered later releases), has left this one in line for Rookie Card consideration(MLB-wise, at least)
Looks like that severe beater Banks RC reset my habits back towards the HOF RC chase..:) Gotta love hobby ADD... Somehow, my first pre-war pickup of the year.. |

Very cool "art stamp" Leon, I didn't even know those things exist! Learn something new every day (on these boards)...
For the second time in the last couple of months, some prewar beauties have walked-in to my favorite shop and the owner gave me first dibs. I couldn't pass on these two. I love the Feller, and it's my first Goudey "heads-up." Enjoy! http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a3...psc71b64b7.jpg http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a3...ps01c99d09.jpg |
Leon, I'm really liking those stamps...maybe I'll have to pick up one soon :)
Steven, some of those CJ poses are awesome...great pickup, man. Beautiful Feller! That is one nice example :eek: |
Great Feller, I love that set.
Put a bid on this one this morning and was lucky to win it for a good price. Sorry for the eBay pic http://i317.photobucket.com/albums/m...BF3pennant.jpg |

Just picked this one up today.
wanted one for a long time, finally found a high grade that I thought was a fair value. |
Love that image Scott. One of my favorite cards. Someday, I will own 1.

great pickups everyone! More 1914 CJs

I love Saturday mornings opening the week's mail.

Just got it ; Fabian Gaffke ..... I will greatly appreciate any advice from those of you who have previous experience cleaning the surface of a glossy-finish 1930's photo/card . This is 1 Worch Cigar premium , probably 1935. The edges/borders at some places had been protected somewhat and you can still see a bit of the original bright white shiny surface . It sort of looks like just normal airborne grime and perhaps cigarette smoke , and exposure to a lifetime hung on a wall....a few spots that almost look like mold.? I'll show it again as a '' before and after '' if I have any success restoring the surface but at any rate I need to put it on Tim N.'s thread about the ''Worch Cigar Project'' since there is no Gaffke in any condition currently there. I don't think there's a lot of these around anymore , except for Leon's two SGC 80's. |

Leon- that Rube Art Stamp is awesome, I've always loved that image of him (same as T205).

Oscar Stanage T205

Picked up this Oscar Stanage T205 recently with an OC Honest Long Cut back.
Many years ago I purchased a rough T205 Stanage, which I bought on Martha's Vneyard of all places. He was the first T205 I ever bought. Patrick |
Great snag--I was just under you.

Did you win any of the Greenbergs out of that listing Sunday night ? He had THREE !! |

Clayton, congrats on the Nap pickup. One of my very favorites from the entire set. |

Not quite cards, and also a slight departure from my typical rookie hunt. Unless you count Slaughter on the Cardinals supplement.. I can never pass on a nicely priced DiMaggio item...

Beautiful cards.....
great cards guys! Clayton....:eek:....great pick up, from another great collector;)

I bought these because I was nearly certain they were sheet mates.
Harder to tell from my scans but each is not only mis-cut but is cut at a slight angle. Also and again hard to see, but there is a smidgen of the "3" on Veach's far right edge and the same amount missing from Viox: http://photos.imageevent.com/imoverh...uge/img762.jpg http://photos.imageevent.com/imoverh.../huge/Viox.jpg Alas, it appears I should have looked more closely and/or measured them, because their different length indicates they were probably not together--although they sure do fit hand in glove: http://photos.imageevent.com/imoverh...uge/img763.jpg I suppose it's possible that the cards were cut from the sheet in vertical strips and then cut horizontally, which could account for them being different lengths. Hmmm, I'd never considered that. Thoughts? |

Happy to add a T206 Cy Young - I can deal with the issues on the front when the Piedmont back has a little number "42" on the factory line....

An anonymous board member came across this Armbruster earlier in the week, and today it was reunited with the others. Thanks, Anonymous.

Hi Ed, Just say that it came from an anonymous board member. Keep em guessing! Mystery and intrigue. What makes card collecting great. Thanks to Anonymous and everyone else on the board for their help with my project. |

Radbourn... AKA "bird flipper"
Not as sharp as many of the clean/crisp OJ images I've seen posted here, but I'm psyched to finally have an example of the one and only Old Hoss. He's been on my want list for a while now. Now time for the always fun visit to his Baseball Reference page. |

My first Cracker Jack

Here is a picture of my first Cracker Jack, and not to take this into a different direction but I won the CJ from a Probstein auction and I didn't have to pay my high bid. I was hoping I could smell the caramel on the card but no luck.

Picked up this Buck Weaver last night. Been looking for one for a while and thought the price was right:

Back Stamps...up to five of these!
I don't usually grab T206's...unless they have my favorite back stamp...I live to think the cards present MUCH better than thier technical grade, too!

A couple of nice supplements
I try and pick these up from time to time when I see them in good shape--these are from the first year; in fact, Bresnahan was the first issued(that area of white in the "clouds" is actually part of the photograph as adapted for the supplement and is not staining):
