March 2016 New Pickups
 

Picked up this Red Cobb from Pete Gustafson (thanks Pete) to celebrate my 2,000th T206 front/back combo.

Nicely centered Cobb.

.

Nice going Craig.

That's a great accomplishment - congrats!

I don't normally collect press photos, but picked up this 1935 photo featuring HOFer Larry MacPhail (3rd from left), mainly because it also pictures a buddy of mine's grandfather, pitcher Bud Teachout (far left). Teachout had a brief major league career with the Cubs & Cardinals, before finishing with the minor league Columbus Redbirds (MacPhail's team). Couldn't pass this up.

I love mail! My first graded T206, a very crisp looking Harry Davis; surprised it's just a Good/30

Thanks Jimmy!

Who are these fella's? Only The Shadow knows. (and I am guessing Brian). :D

Looks like Jim Thorpe as youth on right?

Ed,

Baseball players? :D

Greg,

Although the jaw line and the nose may remind people of Thorpe, remember Thorpe was 6'1".

maybe other guy is 6'6"?

Really nice, Bryan

Really happy to have added these 2! Why does it always post sideways?!?!
I use TinyPic and the preview shows it the right way. Argh!

Great looking cards!!
It is because you are using TinyPic......I guess. Fixed but lets get together on this in the future :)

Wow that's fantastic Craig!

Were you holding out for a big name player for #2000? or it just happened to be a Red Cobb by chance?

also I'd be curious to see your backs distribution % (just for fun) if you have it handy.

March Pickups
 

My 100th T206 card and addition to my 55T set. Great cards by others.

New pick ups.

Thanks Frank and Turner!

Actually got this at auction in February but didn't have time to post last month. This was my main target for 2016.

WOW.. Great card. Congratulations

To quote the immortal bard, Muskrat from "Deputy Dawg," "It's possible. It's possible."

Now for other pickups:

Thanks for the compliments on the Jennings everyone. I also picked up this bad mamma jamma, a card that was a pipe dream as a kid and something that I never thought I would own.

WOW! Awesome Cobb.

Love that card. Congrats on checking a huge box!

Beautiful examples.

E94 Cobb
 

Not exactly a news-making Cobb, but I imagine this was found in a paper bag at some point. (I actually learned on this site that it's an e94 that's mislabeled.)

Congrats! Amazing card to own!

WOW. Big congrats Bryan!

Awesome Cobb!

Would it be poor form to ask how much that one cost you? Been wanting one for a while!

Thanks
Josh

E98 Matty
 

Psyched to make a deal for this Matty outside eBay, and got to do the preferable in person exchange for it since the seller happened to live nearby. It's graded a 1, but looks much better in hand.

On a public forum...Umm....id say so.

Awesome Matty!!

Just search the Huggins & Scott archives. I like that Cobb also.

Awesome card, Bryan. That's a card I really want to get some day also.

My "new" Red Cobb ..... great registration and image.

Also, love the SC 460/25 off center back :)

Attachment 223293

Fun, fun, Scott :rolleyes:

Nice Cobb. I want a red background, but can't seem to save enough to buy one. Maybe that should be a goal this year. I hear there are a few Ty Cobb backs going up for sale.

He pm'd me... Nice guy and an awesome card. Happy for him!

So I am a bit behind on my scanning.. Here are my latest pick ups!

The Bresnahan batting (x2!) gives me complete Cardinals T206 team set (all the fronts anyway..) except for some guy named O'Hara.

Hartzell, Criger & Bailey are my first American Caramel cards.


A huge thank you to all the board members who have helped me in my quest to complete (almost..) my T206 Cardinals team set!

Great cards guys ...Love that e98 Matty/cobb and the CJ Cobb... It is a beauty !

Re: March 2016 New Pickups
 

I actually picked this little gem up from another board member about ten days
ago, but we agreed to postpone delivery of this card so we could both met up
for lunch yesterday. As I inch closer to this set (now only 16 cards away), I've
had the very fortunate privilege to get to develop several close friendships
during this quest.

To the board member who sold me this card, thank you! The next time we
meet up I'm buying lunch.

ErikV

Picked up both of these from board members in the past couple weeks. Not really sure what to make of the Young. It's definitely some type of frankencard, but the front seems to be rather thin stock.


DJ

Just picked up this unreal T209 scrap. T209 "Color"...with no color!! Also a WST on the back. Never seen another T209 scrap like it.

It will be available for sale or trade once it is in hand.

Awesome Tom!! Where did you find this at? I keep searching antique stores and garage sales for scrap and......well anything baseball with very little luck. Unless I want a box of 1988 Donruss, lol.

Now my earliest card (1882), and got two others, too. And as they say, "the most beautiful of the pre-war advertising cards."
http://www.net54baseball.com/attachm...1&d=1457356782

Since this isn't the BST we can talk about stuff. It went for $956 after juice last night in the weekly Heritage auction. I was the under bidder. Cool card but hard to calculate value.

I wonder if Cobb-mania will extend to his rivals.

Nice Lajoie!!

Indeed. I paid through the nose for that bad boy. Sorry Leon (kinda...not completely...maybe a little sorry :p:p). I figured you may have been in on it at some point.

I wish it was an antique store find. All I ever see at antique stores and malls are junk wax, junk wax era cards, and 1960's-1980's programs and store model equipment.

I have never seen another T209 like it.

Tom C

The thrill of the hunt though right? But sometimes it does pay off! While I didn't find a scrap card I did find a T206 Drum back in an antique store. Before that the best I did was finding some good/vg 55 bowman commons for cheap! And yes.. several boxes of 1988 Donruss!

Great pick ups everyone!!

Scott

I sure hope not. That Lajoie is a beauty. Congrats!

I stand corrected.

I have only seen one other like it.

Tom C

Walt "Red" Kuhn T207 (Red Cycle)
 

Thrilled to cross this tough one off of my T207 want list.

My 2nd Red Cycle backed T207.


Patrick

I love the look of those Red Cycle backs, great looking card!!

Damn sorry I missed out on that one!

1930's Ruth Japan Postcard
 

Thought it was a cool piece.

Here's the second 1882 Cosack that I just won. And a Peck & Snyder reverse.

http://www.net54baseball.com/attachm...1&d=1457390404

I was an underbidder (though not the underbidder :)) too. Pretty crazy card. I'm not into scrap at all, but I thought it was really neat. I actually thought it went pretty cheap compared to other recent scrap T209-1 auctions. I wonder if not being slabbed contributed to that.

Greg, those Cossacks are awesome!

Tom....
 

great scrap!:eek:

Fantastic Cobb Bryan.

I got this one in yesterday. It's my first T209 Contentnea. I have several of the T210 Winston-Salem players.

Re: March 2016 New Pickups
 

Just picked this card up from another board member.
Getting closer to completion....now only 16 cards remaining.

ErikV

Congrats Erik!

That's quite an accomplishment already!

Just traded for this one..

.

My second E104-1, my second Nadja back. I guess I am now officially collecting these? Is that the rule?

Sweet pick up Ed! I've been interested in adding a Nadja back (and/or World Champions front) for a little while now. Where you find it?

Nice one Bill, great color. I love me some NOLA cards!

I got it in the Heritage Sunday auction. You never see these, then two in four months. Pretty fun! I was once told certain issues come in waves, that it is cyclical. That has proven so true.

Congrats on the first T209. King even made it into the T206 set. Nice card.
